I think I have found my niche in this area

Hi mom hi dad!

Sorry my letter was supperrr lame last week, so I’m going to make up for it this week! This week was senior week for me, and let me describe it in one word for you... STRESS!!!!!! Anyways, besides all the chaos, we experienced an amazing miracle. I told a lady I liked her purse and then we started talking.. and now we are teaching her and all her friends our English/gospel program!  We will have 8 new investigators! They’re all Christian and had interests in the book of Mormon. Missionary work isn’t that hard, you just have to complement them and they'll accept you into their home! haha just kidding, but that day we talked to 47 people! and one accepted our program. It just shows how much we need to do on our part, and the Lord will bring the people to us who are prepared, we just have to be looking for it and working for it. The goal I made this week was:

1. Live worthy to be trusted in God. -doing the things I should be doing at all times, work hard.

2. Trust God.- trust that he can perform miracles, faith.

3. Act. act upon the promptings and thoughts that are put into our minds.

Two weeks ago I was willing to talk to everyone that was put in my path; I was able to talk to people freely and openly, just getting to know people.  Not perfectly obviously because I’m not the best at this language, but I was willing. And when I came up to these ladies, I had the most direct prompting that I had to talk to these people. It was actually very weird, but it didn’t go away, so I tried talking to them. Nothing came from me talking to them, but I hope in my mind that maybe I helped one of them at that moment.

 

Anyways, I think I have found my niche in this area. The only friends I have in the ward are the children! and I feel the reason for that is because I am a child at heart!!  All that occupies my mind in the little free time I have is the cute lil mike wazowski from monsters university!! haha but actually, the children are the best teachers. This one cute girl taught me origami, and how to play Korean games, and taught me Korean words, even with the language barrier! I am so grateful for her and her sweet spirit. She is so kind and understanding of my inability to speak, but we find so much joy with each other! And because I can communicate with the kids, the families see that I am not a lame missionary! They speak so fast and we don’t know how to really communicate and they are wayyyy too serious. hah I’m learning lots and enjoying the little things! Loves and hugs!!!

Replace fear with faith!!

Family,

I have a super short time to email and I don’t even know what to say!!!! I’m thinking real hard and real fast and it’s not working!!! haha and my computer is telling me I only have 5 minutes!!!! nooooo I was reading all the emails and my time is up! But I just want to say that I know that if we are doing everything we can to do what the Lord wants of us in missionary work, being obedient, doing what were supposed to, the Lord will trust us and he will make opportunities for us to spread the gospel. We have to act and do and open our mouths and we will be blessed with those amazing opportunities to spread the gospel.  What has affected me most is just having real faith in the Lord. Faith that I can do things, that I can overcome challenges, that I can teach with the spirit, and that I can even teach about the gospel!!! I’m always soo scared and now that I exercise more faith and hope, I can overcome my fears! Replace fear with faith!!!   I have a testimony of that. I love youuu!!!

The yon kior is still gone :( we are meeting a potential investigator today, we met him on the street and he said he believed there was more scripture out there in the world and he believes the book of Mormon is it! Let you know how that goes next time!

Familyyyy!!

Thank you for your emails! They have helped me and uplift me! I’m trying to be the best I can, send me pictures of your missionaries and the fun adventures you experience! I liked the pictures last week! Soooo 연결 picked up and left for vacation this month! So I may never see him again! Transfers are in 2 weeks! I don’t know if I’m staying here.  Anyways, I hope I get to see him! 

Our investigator Gloria still can’t get baptized, her mom doesn’t want her to. I was able to teach her some art though and it was super fun! We were going to visit elder Paynes gymnastics practice with Gloria but it was cancelled so we went to a history museum and we saw some cool art sculptures! I love Gloria, she really has a desire to be a good person and willing to follow Christ.

This week has been difficult for me, lots of challenges put in my path. I have been reading the teachings of Brigham young and it’s amazing. ahh I love it so much, so many wonderful words of wisdom. I realize that these trials that I’m going through, it’s not about how Heavenly Father can help me escape from my challenges, but how I can learn from them. These challenges are put in my path to help me become a better person. HE WANTS ME TO BECOME BETTER THAN I AM!  That is a privilege that I should cherish. It is hard, but the blessings in the end are the fact that we are stronger. I’m grateful for that.  I’m still learning a lot, I’m still a greenie, but I remember the quote by Lincoln," whatever you are, be a good one" I hope you have a good week! remember Abe! hahaha and always be yourself, that is my advice, be yourself!!!!!!!!

He was the happiest I’ve ever seen him

Family!!!

Thank you for the lovely warm wishes and fun emails. I love hearing about your experiences back home and wish I could do them with you! Why is church backwards now>???? Thats fun! Our ward is super small. There’s a pic of all the chairs! Haha. 

This new years we had the baptism for our cute lil friend with the hampster! We made a board game for him so we made sure he knew all the answers to basic gospel principles. It was really good!  It’s just been hard for him this past year because he hasn’t been going to primary because he doesn’t understand any of it. He is
from a member family so he wasn’t our investigator, but we taught him a lot. Me and an elder sang a duet for the meeting! A Childs Prayer.  We were the only ones who knew it in English and it was prepared 10 min before the meeting... hahah.  I was super nervous, but I think it sounded good! and he understood what we were singing about so I think that make him happy.

After his baptism he was still kinda sad looking and wasn’t doing too much, so I decided to play some ping pong with him and he started to brighten up and I truly saw the Holy Ghost working within him.  He was the happiest I’ve ever seen him and was smiling so big and really was showing his true personality. He started winning and was doing victory dances!!! So cute! The ward members were really amazed and had never seen him so happy.  They’ve never seen him really smile! The rest of the day I made sure he was interacting and playing games and enjoying himself. That day was his big day!! I really do feel like I’m his older sister and helping him along this difficult time he’s going through. I’m glad I can be here for him, he is so special.

I’ve been reading this book this month it’s called the power of everyday missionaries, by Clayton Christenson. It is sooo good and I recommend it to everyone. It talks of member missionaries and the power that we can have!!!! So many good stories and experiences. I love you, talk to you soon!!!
