I will be greenie breaking!

Transfer calls!! sooo I’m leaving sanbon! I had a wonderful time with Sister Rose and I’ll be going to Incheon with sister Holmes! I will be greenie breaking! It will be fun and it’s a really big city. Funny thing, that was Sister Rose's greenie area so she is giving me all the tips of the area, the members, potential investigators and so on. I think that’s why president is sending me there. It will be an adventure for sure. Sister Holmes is from Pennsylvania and I hear she’s a funny character! And I’ll be moving into a four sister house. It will be a different experience from what I’ve done before but I’m ready for the challenge. Change is Good!!! 

I’m sad to leave this area, I felt like I really connected with the members, maybe because they kind of have an American feel to them and they have very outgoing members and leaders. I really appreciated their help and support for wanting to help the members become more united and do activities together. We did a dancing activity and Elder Baldwin taught the relief society sisters how to do the chachacha! We have been asked by the leaders and mission president to do whatever the bishop has asked us to do because WE ARE WARD AND STAKE BUILDERS! So we were included in this activity and these activities have really helped the ward come together as a ward family and not just people they see on Sunday mornings. We are also having a ward FHE tonight/going away party for the missionaries. Myself and Elder Stowe are leaving and going to Incheon. I love this ward and it will be hard for me to leave but it will be good to step out of my comfort zone and step up to the new challenge. Lots of growing and learning of course having fun at the same time! Without happiness, I would die out here! The mission can bring stress sometimes, but joy can counter all that and give a sense of hope and desire to keep improving. I have been blessed with a companion that has super knowledge and can answer any type of gospel question it seems like, whether it be my questions or investigators questions. I’m super grateful for her knowledge and now that I won’t have that, I need to keep working on gaining knowledge and retaining it. It really makes me just want to tell all those seminary students out there to focus focus focus! That time is such a privilege! I was thinking about school and how I participated in school and I always was so scared of asking questions. For some reason I am so bad at asking questions in school(probably because I’m embarrassed of sounding dumb...) but I wish I could have been more outgoing in that aspect. But out here in the field, I ask investigators so many questions while teaching and sharing messages. Even though my weakness maybe something in one area, I have found my strength in another. I am grateful for the simple blessings of our Heavenly Father. I may not be a scriptorian, but I’m trying my best to be one. I am not a pro at asking questions in school, but I feel like I have been blessed with asking questions of the soul. I’m working with what I have and going with it!!! and trying to make it even better!

We had a miracle this week. It was really cool. I was on the subway and chatted with a lady and she said she wanted to meet but she lives in Incheon, bu-piong city. We said we couldn’t go there and she was very persistent saying she’d feed us delicious food and she would clean her house super clean to have us over and invite her friends.  But she was sad and kind of disappointed we couldn’t meet with her. Well.... I got my transfer call and guess what! I’m going to that same city she lives in!!  I’m going to my new area with a potential investigator!! Super cool and kind of a reassurance that this is where I need to be going!

I read the book of Mormon and bible for personal study this week and it was very spiritual. Scripture power! Man those primary songs are speaking the real truth!!

I have to go but I love you and will talk to you next week!! :) I know that not only reading but applying the scriptures to our lives, we will receive an even greater testimony of this gospel. I practiced this during high school and I have noticed the blessings!!
