Now that the rain has seemed to have stopped, we are having nice weather although it is getting colder.. I think today is like 12 degrees Celsius.. (I don't remember what anything is in Fahrenheit is anymore), but this week was amazing!!
Oh, and, all the missionaries who are in Busan will be reading the Book of Mormon is less than 6 weeks! WE are so
excited!!! I love being able to serve the Lord and tell others about everything that has made me extremely happy!!
This week, as we were able to meet with Elder Bednar, he said something to us which I wanted to share today!
It is "Faith is Action and Power". Now let me explain this here. Faith is action because when we believe what we are doing, we need to act for anything to come about. And, faith is power because by believing and acting, we are using God and his power, so that way we can accomplish his will! I
love being here in Korea as a missionary. I also know that faith is crucial, no matter who you are!! If you have faith, you will act and God will help you on your course in coming back to him and finding everlasting happiness!
SO this week, on Monday, I went with Elder Newell and we dropped off his stuff at the mission home. Then I waited for Elder Song, and we met and came back to Haeundai! We then emailed and then he went and got a haircut and we went shopping!! After all of this, we went outside and talked to people for the rest of the day. We were able to really talk and have a good time with others and sharing the restored gospel with them!!
On Tuesday, Elder Song and I studied in the morning, ate lunch and then went outside and met with our 91 year old Member, Brother Bae!! Then we went outside and talked to more people, had dinner and went outside again and met with some people and that was our day!
On Wednesday, we went outside and talked to some people first. We were also able to meet with an investigator who was pretty happy to see us!! Then we had our English class. After the class, we had a meeting with all the missionaries in our area so that we could plan a Halloween party, and then we went back outside and talked to people!
On Thursday, we studied and then planned for the upcoming week. Then we went outside and met with an investigator and his student (he is an English teacher, who is korean) and we had a really great discussion!! After that, we went outside and talked to people: we were able to have a really good time talking to people!!
Friday was a very busy day!! One of General authorities of the church, Elder Bednar was coming to talk to all the missionaries, so we went to the mission home. We then, had to go get flu shots, ate lunch and went to the meeting where Elder Bednar was at! While there, I was able to see
Brother Killian who attended the same church as my family and me in Japan! It was such a great experience!! Also, being able to see an Apostle of the Lord was such a great experience!! After that, we came back to Haeundai and had a chance to converse with people and share with them about the gospel of Jesus Christ!!
On Saturday, we went and played soccer in the morning. Then we returned home, and went out and talked to some people. We also met with an investigator, and that was great!! He really likes the church and is really looking into it and that is good! Then we were able to go back outside and talk to others after that!!
On Sunday, we were able to take our investigator Jang DaeYoon (장대윤) with us to go see President Bednar speak and then to watch a baptismal service!! Then we came back to Haeundai and went to go see Brother Bae. After that, we were able to go outside and talk to people and did sticker board with all the other missionaries in our area and that was my week!
It is getting super cold, but I love being here and being able to talk with others and love them and to be able to teach them the gospel!!
I love this work, and I love and miss you guys a bunch!
Love Always,
Elder Joshua Wilson
