Week 59: Halloween Party!! At the Maximum level!!

This week has been somewhat busy for sure!! We were able to go outside a little bit and talk to a whole bunch of people, had English class and also got to host a Halloween party!! Wow this week went super fast and we were able to help others a bunch too!! I love being here in Korea!! The weather is cooling day by day.. So right now it is like 9 degrees celsius or so... Not bad!! It really is great being in Korea and being able to wear the name of Jesus Christ on my chest
and help others come closer unto Christ!

This week as I was thinking about what I might write today, started thinking about the challenge that we receive to read the book of mormon in less than 6 weeks! I wanted to share a scripture that I read and it is actually all of 1 Nephi 13. It is fantastic. It talks about the restoration of the gospel! How wonderful it is that the Book of Mormon has been foretold of since before Christ and how it would be such a large factor in these days! I really do know that the Book of Mormon is the word of God and invite all to read it front to back.
Just for 5 minutes a day and as you read, your heart will grow and your love for Jesus Christ will increase and there will be insurmountable blessing in your life!

So last week on Monday, We emailed for a little bit in the morning and then went to eat lunch. After Eating lunch, my companion needed to go take an English test called the Michigan test --- he took that for 2 hours.   Then we came back to Haeundai, shopped, returned home, and then went outside and talked to others about Jesus Christ and his gospel.

On Tuesday, we studied in the morning, and then went to a service project where we get to serve people food, and it was super great except that it started raining and it poured!!  After that we went to the mission home and had a meeting with some other missionaries. Then we came back and talked to people and were able to share the gospel!!

On Wednesday, we got to meet an investigator for the first time. Then we had to run and catch a train to get to a meeting at the mission home. So we went there for a while, and then came back to the church and had English class. After that, we had a meeting with all the other
missionaries in Haeundai.  After the meeting, we were able to go outside for a little bit and talk to people about the gospel even more!

On Thursday, we had a meeting in the morning, had lunch with the other missionaries, and then I went to a place called Sujeong on an exchange, where I taught an advanced English class as a service project. After that, we walked home from there and talked to people about the Book of Mormon and the gospel of Jesus Christ, and to finish the
day, we got to meet with someone who hasn't gone to church for the past 22 years and talked with him. It turned out to be a great day!!

On Friday, we de-exchanged, went to Costco to pick up food
and other necessities for the Halloween party. After that, we
set up the church for the party, and at the very end of the day, we were able to go outside and talk to people!

Saturday was fully packed! We planned in the morning, went
outside and talked to people, came back to the church and got ready for the halloween party, met with the investigator, and then we had the halloween party!! 
Everyone thought it turned out great!!  After we cleaned up, we went outside and called it a night!

Then on Sunday, we had church.  I translated that day.  In the
middle of church, I got super sick and super nauseous.. But that was okay because I went home after church was completely done and took a nap and took some medicine and felt like 100 dollars afterwards! 
So, we went outside and talked to a whole bunch of people and went sticker boarding and then that was basically our day!! It was an amazing week and I loved it so much!! 

Miss you guys!

Love Always,

Elder Joshua Wilson
