interesting and pretty stunning that I have been in Korea for this long, but it is such a great thing! I really do love it here so much and love the members and all the people that we are able to meet with!
I really do love it here and as I thought about it I can’t believe
that this week is already Thanksgiving. In thinking about what I am thankful for, I want to say that I am thankful for my family who always supports me and loves me no matter what, and I am thankful for my Savior’s atoning sacrifice and his abounding love for humankind.
Because of him, all of us can come nearer to Heavenly Father. I am also thankful for our Loving Heavenly Father and all that He has given us. I am also thankful for my friends. Also, the thing that I am most thankful for is the plan that our Heavenly Father has made for all of us ---- the plan of Salvation, also known as the plan of "Happiness." Because of this plan, I am able to live my family for eternity; I am able to follow Christ’s example; I have my sins cleansed and all my burdens lifted; and I am able to find eternal joy and happiness. In this season of Thanksgiving, please take the time to talk your parents, your friend, and please offer your Heavenly Father thanks for all He has given you. I know that if we do these things, the benefits that will come from this are insurmountable. I love this gospel and I know that only through following the gospel of Jesus Christ and living it, can all of our hopes be attained and that we may have happiness and life forever.
This past Monday, we went to the mission home to have an interview and then came back to Haeundai where we went bowling and it was a super fun time. Then because we only have one computer at the church, we came to the church and emailed and that was our P-day! Then we went outside and talked to some people because we didn’t have any particular appointments.
On Tuesday, we had our house inspected, had a service project, went outside and talked to some people. Then we had an appointment with Brother Jang Daeyoon; that went really well. After that, we ate dinner and then went outside again and talked to others about the gospel and the great joy it brings.
This last Wednesday was my 1 year mark in Korea, and that was a shocker; I didn’t notice it until 7 o'clock at night. So, Wednesday, we studied in the morning and then went to visit some people. However, they were either not home or they were fast asleep. So, we went outside and talked to others, and then had a meeting and English class, and then went outside again and talked to some other people.
On Thursday, we were kind of busy actually. We studied in the morning, had to go interview someone in another area for them to get baptized, and then went to go do a group teaching activity with other missionaries; that turned out well! Afterwards, we went out to eat, and then came home. On Thursday, we were really able to find some people; they were really ready to hear the gospel.
On Friday, we had to wake up early and go to the mission home for a meeting. After the meeting, we came home and ate dinner and then for the last parts of the day, we went outside to talk with others.
On Saturday, we studied in the morning and then we planned for the upcoming week! Then we went to the church and helped out with a young men’s activity. It was a fun time filled with games and laughing and playing ping pong and just all around, a great time. Then we met with Brother Jang Dae Yoon, and then went outside to talk with others for the rest of the day.
Sunday was filled with some great times! We were able to go to church and then went to see Elder Bae Yeongcheon, and then we had lunch. After lunch, we went outside and were able to talk with others outside. It was fantastic because while we were outside talking with others, we were able to find a lot of people that want to meet and want to talk to us about the gospel later!
I am thankful for my Savior, and I am thankful for all that he has done for me. I am thankful for Heavenly Father and the plan of Happiness he has provided us. I love you guys and I wish I could spend Thanksgiving with you at home, but the Lord’s work calls and just always know, that I am always home in Spirit no matter what. I love you guys, and my gratitude for you guys is indescribable!!
Love Always,
Elder Joshua WIlson
