"What is this feeling? So sudden and
new" That is the phrase/lyrics from Wicked that has been running around in
my brain all week! I’m just trying to soak everything in but it’s not soaking! I
just feel like I want to jump out of my skin! I have these spurts of stress
energy that make me go wild and crazy because I don’t know what to do with
myself. Ha-ha you can ask Sister Mineer about all the craziness that’s
happened. I wonder what she thinks about me... Anyways, last week was a blast
and today was filled with a good study this morning with a Christ statue! We
got permission to study on a mountain for my last p day and it was so amazing. It
was bittersweet to look out at the city, seeing what I’m leaving behind, but I
had Christ right there with me to see it with me. He's always there!
For our last meeting with the bishopric,
wait for it...... we ate... 보신탕 (dog soup). It was tasty! It
tasted like beef but a slightly different tinge to the taste. Interesting. The
counselor said that after you eat it you'll be able to communicate to the dogs
on the streets for three days... he's horrible!
We made one meal at the house this week. Let’s
just say that we were either super busy travelling and couldn’t eat, or we were
at a meal appointment and almost dying with all the food! We were happy on the
days we were travelling :) I’ve eaten more food in my life! But hey I’m grateful
because all the food has been delicious! We ate jellyfish too!
This email is all over the place but I just
wanted to share something that I learned while I was on the mountain this
morning with Sister Mineer and the Savior. We all know that we have the potential
to become like Christ and Heavenly Father. 3nephi 27:27. Well to those members
or missionaries or people preparing for a mission who don’t feel like they have
a strong testimony or don’t know what to look for, seek to become like Christ
and The Father. Know that you want to be "even as He is" If That is
your goal, That is a powerful testimony because it signifies that you believe
in Christ and have a testimony of Him, that you are willing to follow Him, ,
desire to be A Christ like missionary or member. You will obey Him, You will
follow Him, You will Love him, and you will know Him. I think those who desire
to be a Christ like Person have a strong testimony.
I know we can become like Him because He
lives!
