Week 33 Transfers.. But I stay!! WOOO

So this week was super insane being the last week of the Transfer, and also from the title... I stayed in Miryang, and I'm actually writing this on a Tuesday because Transfers were very interesting...  But anyways, this past week was amazing and I loved it!  The weather was super good and I'm super happy about everything that came about this past week!  Korean is coming along well and I'm learning a whole bunch, and I love it here in Miryang even though some people don't based on it being a very small city. But I love it here and it is getting super warm so I am very happy!! 

So this week I have been able to see so many miracles here in Korea and it has really been humbling to see how much the Lord works with me and with others. It is amazing to see that he loves us so much that no matter where we are, or what we need, he will answer whether it is big or small. Unfortunately, because of this promised truth, we seem to believe that it will always come immediately, which typically isn't always the case. But I know that he answers and he lives and the reason I know these things are because I have seen and experienced so many things that I know he is there. But most importantly, he has told me that he is there and he loves me. The video that I am sharing today is called "Pattern of Light".  It is from Elder Bednar of how we are able to figure out the things God wants for us and not always does everything come instantly... But I know it will come and here is the link I want to share and I know that my redeemer lives and loves all of us and that as we ask and we look for the light, we will always be able to find it.


So on to the week.. On Monday we got to study and clean up in the morning and after that we had to go pick up some tennis rackets so that we could play some tennis in the afternoon. So we went and talked to on of our English class attendees and he gave us the rackets and took us out for lunch. Then after which we took the rackets and came to the church for a little bit, emailed for a bit and then went out and played tennis with the sister missionary's investigator and it was super fun! Then after which we came back to the church and emailed more and then we came to the church, prepared for family home evening and then did our final family home evening and then we went home.

On Tuesday we studied in the morning and then we came to the church for our Area meeting. After our area meeting, Elder Quiroz and I went outside and talked to people and went to go eat lunch and then we had to go to the prison to go meet another man that we teach. You Ir is doing amazing and is always happy, but when you only have 15 minutes to talk with him, it is hard to say bunch, but it was amazing! Then after which we came to the church and then we met with Tony and we cleaned the church because he wanted to clean it! So we cleaned the church and talked to him for a bit and then we gave our English class attendee his rackets back.  Then after which we did English class, which went well and we went home!

On Wednesday we went over to Dogye to do our District meeting and we all ate together and after which Elder Quiroz and I went on an exchange. I went to a place called Masan and that was awesome! I got to be with my really good friend Elder Oh OuiChan and we had a great time!  We talked to so many people even though it was raining and then we met an investigator of the Elders and that went super well and he wants to meet regularly now!! Then after which we went outside and had a very quick dinner and then we talked to more people outside, visited a member and then at the end of the day, we had a meeting with all the missionaries in the Masan area. It was very fun. Then after that we went home and we had  a fun time just playing around and talking in the house.

On Thursday, we studied in the morning and at lunch and then went outside and got to share the gospel with more people and then we went to Masan Station to de-exchange. So we did so and then Elder Quiroz and I came back to Miryang where we came home and went outside and tried to talk to people, but there was no one really outside, so we only talked a few people and then because we were going to have transfer calls we deep cleaned our house for a little bit.

On Friday we studied in the morning and then went outside and talked to more people and then after which we went to do our service activity with our member and he treated us to some great noodles... Unfortunately, Elder Quiroz can't do hot stuff so the member felt bad, so we went another place to eat too and I was literally about to explode, but it was fun and then we went and cleaned up the horse stable where we finished super late. Then we went home and we had no time to plan for the next week so we just planned of the next day and got done what we needed to get done. 

Then on Saturday we studied in the morning and then went outside and bought a bunch of food and then after which we had our English class and hiking, picnic meeting and so we took some cars up and went to a place called Manosa and it was awesome! We went like Extreme rock walking?? Or something and it was summer great and we loved it. Then we came back to town and everyone departed and then we cleaned and went outside and talked to more people which was great!! Then that night.. We for a call and... It didn't come.. So we were like okay 3 Transfers!!! WOOO!!

And Sunday... So on Sunday morning we got a call from my new companion saying that we are going to be serving together.  I was like “3 person companionship?!”  Then we got everything figured out… Elder Quiroz was leaving.  So Sunday was a great time! On Sunday we had a bunch of people show up to church and we got to share our testimonies and everything went super well.  We had a lot of people that wanted to learn the gospel come too, so we taught and they liked it and everything went super well.   After which, we went home and Elder Quiroz got packed up and then we went to go meet a whole bunch of members at their houses and everything was great!! I love it a bunch! I love you all and "I will tell you about transfers next week! :) Love you!!

Love Always,

Elder Joshua Wilson
