Week 56: ...And, a Typhoon Hit!!

So this week has been a really great week and we were able to talk to a bunch of people when we went outside!  Also, we finally got to watch General Conference and that was a great highlight for sure!!  It has been really fun this week and I love being here! 
Transfers are going to be on the 17th, and Elder Newell is going home and finishing his mission that day.  So, who knows what will happen!  At least, I'm doing well and I love being in Haeundai so much!!

Anyway, every twice a year, we are able to hear a living prophet of God and our church leaders proclaim God's words during General Conference, and we are able to benefit a little more fully in our lives!  This last General Conference, Elder Gary E. Stevenson quoted President Benson who said "The Book of Mormon teaches us truth [and] bears testimony of Christ. … But there is something more. There is a power in the book which will begin to flow into your lives the moment
you begin a serious study of the book. You will find greater power to resist temptation. … You will find the power to stay on the strait and narrow path."   
While I was thinking about this and the past experiences I have had with the Book of Mormon, I have really been able to see the truth of the Book of Mormon!  I have always known that it is true, but as we continue to read it day by day, we really do feel so much greater and so much happier.  The Book of Mormon was written to help all come closer unto Christ and it teaches very sound and fundamental truths of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  I love the Book of Mormon. I love reading it and studying it!  Not only is it the keystone of our
Religion, but it is the only way to find out the fulness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ!  So I invite all, so read it, and to reap the blessing that have so blessed my life!

So last week on Monday, we were able to get up and go to Masan 마산, to go see a less active member, who wanted to treat us to lunch because Elder Newell is finishing up his mission.  His name is 곽태수 (Gwak Taesoo), and he loves the missionaries.  We had a fun time eating with him and talking with him!  Then we came back to Busan, where we shopped, came to the church, emailed, and then we went outside and talked to a bunch of people, and taught about Christ --- and, that was our day!

On Tuesday, we studied in the morning, met an investigator,
who wants to meet and learn about the church, and then we switch companions for a day!  So I was able to serve with an elder named Elder Smoot, and he has only been in the mission for about 5 weeks!  So it was great going around and talking to people.   
We were able to see Brother 김용호 (Kim Yongho) from 경산(Gyeongsan)!  He came down to see me because he didn't have work!  So we had dinner together, and then Elder Smoot and I went outside and talked to even more people!

On Wednesday, we were experiencing a great Typhoon, so the missionaries couldn't go out until President said it was alright to.  So after a while, we went outside and talked to people.  Then we switched companions, came back, had a meeting with the sisters, had English class and then we went out to eat with another member!!
Then again, we went out and talked to some more people and that was essentially our day!

On Thursday, we went to go to a District meeting and that was great!  We took pictures, went out to eat!  After that, we had to go get some forms from some other missionaries and so we did that, and came back to Haeundae and we had to do a lot of paperwork for a large meeting on Sunday!  So... Let's just say... My Korean typing skills have gotten a lot faster!

On Friday, we had meeting with a few other missionaries in the morning, and then we came back to our area for a little bit and dropped everything off!   After that, we went down to a place called Nampo (남포), and talked to people while doing a big activity!  After that got done, we had to run over to another church, where I interviewed a person to get baptized -- it was all good! And then we returned home!

Saturday was General Conference all day!  So we came to the Church and watched the conference -- that was amazing! Being able to hear from the prophet and being able to be lead and guided by him, really gives me such happiness and joy!! Then for a little bit, we were able to meet with another person and then we went outside and talked to people!

On Sunday, we watched the rest of General Conference, and  had to go to a large meeting with the Stake Presidency.  Then we returned to Haeundae and talked to a bunch of more people and that was our day!!

Thank you so much for all your love and support!  
Hope you have a great week!!

Love, 
Elder Wilson

P-Day!!
