HELLO!!! This week has been a blast in so many great
---Unusual --- “One of a Kind” type of days... And I am soo happy to be here in
Miryang as usual!! Miryang is lovely,
and there is going to be a huge festival this week, which I am super excited
about! Missionary work is amazing and I
love each and everyone that I am able to meet everyday, and it really is
wonderful to be out here in Korea!
So, this week I would like to share a scripture for 3 Nephi 18:16. It reads "And as I have prayed among you
even so shall ye pray in my church, among my people who do repent and are
baptized in my name. Behold I am the light; I have set an example for
you". In this chapter, Christ is
not only re-establishing his church, but is also saying the phrase "Come
Follow Me". "Come, Follow
me" is such a simple phrase, and as we really do seek to follow Christ, we
can obtain everlasting happiness, but only through him and the way that has
been shown unto us. The work is never
done, but as we change for the better and follow him, we are able to become
more as he is, to find this perfect happiness and feel the love our Heavenly
Father has for us always.
So, on to the week --- This week as I said has been a very
interesting, and fun week for sure!! So
last Monday, because it was Mother's day in the United States, we were able to
Skype our families and it was beyond wonderful! I love my family so much and am always so
happy to be able to talk to them! It was
super cute seeing my new nephew and to see my Niece Ellie!! But not only that, to be able to see my Mom
and Dad and my brothers and sister was absolutely amazing!! O really love them a bunch!! Then after which we emailed for a little bit
and then went out on a bike ride with the sister missionaries. Then after we went and got ice cream with them
and then we went shopping and then cut out hair! It was amazing. Then after which we had our Family Home
Evening where --- A miracle happened: A
man called us and asked for an Elder Wilson. So I responded and he said that he found my
long lost Camera!! I was sooo happy!! So we planned to go get it from him on
Tuesday!! And that was Monday!
On Tuesday, we studied in the morning and then we ate
lunch and after we ate lunch and went outside. When outside, we were walking, and an old man
said “Hello!! I love you” to me. So, we sat down with him and told him we were
missionaries. Then this old man took my
nametag and put it in his pocket!! My
companion and I had to catch a bus, so he just kind of took it.. Fortunately I had an extra one.... Then, we
went over to the University campus where this man was and we talked to some people
and planned a little bit, and got my Camera back! Also, on Tuesday, it was raining and was
freezing cold, but that was alright. So
what happened was that we went outside and went to knock on doors and that went
super well. Then after which we went and
talked to YOU IR!! He is doing well, and
by that time it had stopped raining!! So
we went back and went and knocked on more doors because there was literally no
one outside. Then we came to the church
and had our Area meeting! After area
meeting, we were going to have English class, but no one showed up so we went
outside and talked to more people and that was our day!
Then on Wednesday, my companion was supposed to have military
training for the Entire day so we went down to Pusan and we get there and he
isn't supposed to even be there... So we go back and then ate lunch and after
lunch we went outside. We went outside
and were knocking on more doors because there were no people, and one building
had an elevator so we took the elevator to the top floor and there was a door
wide open and a older lady told us to come in. So, we went in and talked to her and her
family for a little bit and they fed us a feast, basically right after we had
eaten an entire meal... So we ate all they provided because if we didn't, they
said they would bring out more food for some reason... So we were stuffed. Then we went back outside and talked to some
people. When we were walking, some guy stopped us and
said preach to him, so we started to just talk to him and it turned out that he
had met the missionaries before.. Super insane... And he has actually sent us
pictures to our phone and it was a very funny story. Then we kept talking to
people and then had another meal with a member and we weren't hungry, but we
ate all of what was provided because if you don't, it is rude. So it was great! And I loved it and all of it was
amazing!!
On Thursday we got up early and went to our Zone training
meeting where I got to see a bunch of people and we were able to do so many
great things! Then after which we went
on exchanges and me and my companion for a day, were able to go outside and
share the gospel to so many people and got to go see our North Korean Grandpa
who is awesome. We were super busy the
entire day and it was fantastic!~
Then on Friday, we studied in the morning and then went and
de-exchanged. Then after which we went
and tried to contact the old man who stole my nametag so that we could talk
with him, but he wasn't in town, so we went home and talked to some people
outside until we went out to eat with our great member who owns the Horse
stable. Then we served with him and returned
home. At home, we got changed and were
going to plan, but then went outside and were talking to a bunch of
people. Then a member saw us and took us
out to buffet!! We were stuffed from our
late lunch, but we ate so much and.. I see why I am gaining weight here...
Then on Saturday, we went down to Changwon for a sports day
with all the members in our stake and met an investigator down there. So we did a whole bunch of things and it was
super fun. Then we returned home and did
our English class and then we cleaned up the church. All our appointments that
day canceled on us, but with that we went outside and talked to a bunch of
people --- we found an amazing kind and we will probably be meeting soon!
Finally on Sunday, we had church and church was amazing. We had lunch and then we had our ward
council. After ward council, we went
outside and were talking to some people, when the sisters called us and said
that someone that I knew had come to the church to meet with us. So a guy that
I met 2 months back came to church, and we were talking to him and he started preaching
to us about things .. We actually had no
idea what he was talking about.. I thought my Korean at that point was
insufficient, but then my companion looks at me and said, “I'm Korean and I
didn't understand anything that was said.”
After that, we just went outside and talked to a whole bunch of people
and knocked on doors and that was really my week.
Missionary work is amazing and I am so happy to be able to be
here doing this marvelous work, and I love you all! I miss you guys so much and thanks for
everything and have a great week!! :)
Love Always,
Elder Wilson
