This week has been pretty cold... I don't
understand why because it is supposed to get nice at some point, but... It's
cold. Anyways this week has been really good and I still super love it here.. I
feel like I use that phrase a ton, but it is super true. I'm so glad to be out in Korea doing the work
and Miryang is wonderful although it is the middle of no where.
This week's spiritual message is about
“Focus.” As people are taught to focus
on something in order to achieve it. Even as athlete, victory is the prize and
if we are focused, it is very hard to fail. But what if we do fail?? Fortunately, that is why we have Christ on our
side to make up the difference. But in
being focused, as we are focused on what Christ, what God wants for us, we will
become as we need to. As we look to sync
our lives with them, we are better able to receive guidance and love, and will
never feel alone even when all odds face us. There is never any need to fear,
because he lives and loves me. So always
stay focused on the prize and always remember the Savior, because with him, we
can always win.
This week.... (Wow so many "this
week"s). So anyways this week was fabulous, and it really was a normal
week for typical Korean life. No
holidays, just average life. So the week
panned out like this.
On Monday we went to the dentist and I
got my tooth fixed, then after that emailed for a little bit more, then went
out and got my hair cut and that was really the end of P-day. Then we went and did Family home evening at
the church and it was super fun because one of the people that attends is a 35
year old man who isn't married and he played a game with us which is for
like younger children and completely went with it and it was super fun! He also
drove us home and he is one of my favorite people here.
On Tuesday, we studied in the morning, and
then went outside and went to go talk to people. After talking to many people we went over to
one of our investigators residence. And the investigators residence is...
Prison. So we go and he is super happy! His name is 유일
(You EEl). He is super great and super
happy for sure. He has been taking the
lessons for the past year, and still has a year left in prison for drunken
manslaughter, but he is super happy and wants to change. We only get 13 minutes to talk to him. Fortunately, Korean is going super well, so we
can teach him good lessons. Then after that we went to the Church and taught
one of our investigators who shows up randomly and he listened and apparently
got engaged, and is now going off to military service. Then after that we had English
class and English class was super fun!!
On Wednesday we studied and then went
outside for a very good amount of time! While
we were outside, it was very fun and we were able to talk to many people, but
people didn't really accept our message. But it is perfectly fine... It is always their
choice :) So then we had a meeting with
our sister team and then went outside for a little bit and talked to people
even more. Finally we went and visited a
member who we visit 2 times a week... He is apparently North Korean... I don't
know how he made it down here,..,.. But... he is super nice and we love him so
much!
Then on Thursday, we had a meeting
with all the missionaries in our zone and that was fantastic. We were able to
learn so much and be able to have such a good time. Also after that Elder
Quiroz and I exchanged with some other missionaries and went to our respective
areas and it was fun. Unfortunately it was hard to do much during this exchange
because it takes an hour and a half to get from one place to another where we
were at. So when we got back to Miryang
(me and my new Korean companion) We had a bunch of fun, but really no one was
out to talk to, but we had a great time and speaking Korean all the time is
super great!
On Friday, we studied and talked and then went
and met our original companions and then came back to Miryang. After doing so we got changed and went to our
service activity.. Which is.... Working with horses and going to a horse stable
and cleaning it... So we did that... For 5 hours and lifted everything and went
to go eat with the member and it was so fun! I love working in horse stables!! Then after that we planned and that was our
day!
On Saturday, we studied in the morning,
ate lunch and then went to the church to prepare for English class. After going to English class, we taught English
which was great, and then cleaned the church! After cleaning the church we went out with the
sister team and talked to people and met with one of the sisters’ investigators
and then kept going and then finally went home. A lot of the week has been spent outside.
On Sunday, we had church and church was
fantastic! We got to be uplifted and
rest and I got to play the piano for a little bit and it was great! Then after church, we got to clean up and then
go outside with the sister team again and it was amazing! I love being able to go to church. Then to end
the day, we went and ate at our branch presidents' house and that was amazing!!
I love him so much and his family!!
That was my week in a nutshell! I'm so glad to be out here and I pray for you
all every day! I love you guys so much!
Love Always,
Elder Wilson
