So this week the message I want to share is actually from the Book of Mormon. So I know the Book of Mormon to be the word of God for a fact, and I have found that out through reading and praying about it to receive an answer. Today, I want to bear testimony that I really do know that the Book of Mormon is also another testament of Jesus Christ, and that it talks about Christ and his gospel, and why he is central to our message and why we need him. The Book of Mormon is not just a book, but is something that can change our lives for the better and will have last effects on us forever. So the part I want to share from the book comes from 2 Nephi 2:26. It reads "And the Messiah cometh in the fullness of time, that he may redeem the children of men from the fall.
And because that they are redeemed from the fall they have become free forever, knowing good from evil; to act for themselves and not to be acted upon, save it be by the punishment of the law at the great and last day, according to the commandments which God hath given." He loves us, and because of him we can really live with our families again. The additional knowledge contained in the Book of Mormon is
amazing and really does help everyone come closer to Christ!
This week went by super fast and I can't believe how time flies!! So last Monday for P-day we decided to go to Costco for the 4th of July!! So we went and did shopping, because for our family home evening dinner, we were going to cook up burgers, so we did that and ate lunch. Then we came back to our area and sent off emails. We bought so much meat at Costco because it is so expensive here in Korea, and it is so good! Then we came back and did family home evening where we ate and played Charades! It is super amazing I loved it and the burgers were fantastic!
On Tuesday, we studied in the morning and then went outside to talk to other people and then we went and saw our investigator 김성길. He is awesome old man, but he sat us down and said that he didn't want to learn about the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. He hadn't been keeping our commitments so he didn't want to meet with us anymore. We tried to keep talking to him. At least, he said that he wants to learn only English from the New Testament, but that is it. He is still an amazing man, and one day, I know that he will want to learn more and to hear the restored gospel!
Then we headed to go see a less active member, but she was getting a perm so we had to go into a hair salon and talked to her. It was great, and she was very happy to see us!! Then we
came to the church and had a meeting with the sisters and practiced a song that we were going to sing. Then we met our college student over dinner, and that was super great! We taught him a lesson, and he likes the church, and is just figuring out so many great things!!
On Wednesday, we studied in the morning, went to the church
and sang for a little bit, and met with another college student for the first time. The meeting with the college student turned out super well and we will be meeting with him more. After that, we went outside and talked to some people, returned to the church and started teaching about the Book of Mormon
to a member. When we were teaching the member, an investigator called and came to the church. So, we taught the investigator a lesson too. He was very happy and accepted it well and wants to learn more!
Then we had our English Class and that turned out very well as well..
On Thursday, as usual, we studied in the morning, did our service project and went over to Sangin where we had interviews with President Barrow. After we finished the interviews, we went outside to talk to people. There was a guy playing basketball, so we started talking to him. We played and taught him a lesson. He showed some interest, and wants to learn more about the Book of Mormon and find out for himself that it is true... So we did that. Oh, and basketball was fun. Then, we came back to our are to finish off the day and talk to other people.
On Friday, we studied in the morning, went and had lunch with a member, went outside and talked to many people, sang and then kept talking to more people, and went to the church for Japanese class where more people ended up coming -- it was about 6 people this time and it turned out super well.
On Saturday, we studied in the morning, went to the church to set up for our friendship night, had some singing practice and then went outside and talked to some people. By the time we knew, we had to go back to the church and do our friendship night. So, I guess a very easy explanation of that activity is that
it is a talent show. It was super good and we had games, and I will send pictures of it later!! Also I played a really good piece on the piano and that was great! Then we ate dinner and taught 2 lessons to people that came and we split up with members to teach!!
Then finally, on Sunday we had church and it was great!! Then we went outside and talked to people and then we finished the day with planning. It was an amazing week for sure!!
I loved this week as I do all weeks and I love being here in Korea!! I love you all and I hope you have a great week!
Love Always,
Elder Wilson
