This week has been
getting a little warmer which is nice and we have been able to see a bunch of
miracles this week. I've been able to learn
so much for others about patience and about charity and about helping others come unto Christ. It has been a really
big learning phase for me this week, and
it has been good. Time was spent really efficiently!! Also... So 우정의 밤 (Friendship night) is something that we planned to help
investigators and missionaries and members bond. We had a great time. We had planned various games for
couples and kids and for everyone and for
many people to come. We had a good turn out, so, we were extremely happy about that for sure!
Something that I wanted to share this week was a verse in John 15:13. It states "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends" As I have thought about this scripture and about Christ, it has made me think how much more I need to be dedicated and how much more I need to love other people and be charitable. One of my favorite songs really is "I'm trying to be like Jesus" because that is what we are striving to do as people. Following his example and being
charitable and loving to all, gives us the way for everlasting joy and happiness and harmony in our lives!
This Monday we celebrated Sister Park's birthday. So in the morning we went down to the beach in Gwangan and we played some soccer and took photos and had a really fun time and then we went out to eat. Then, because we only have 2 computers in Geumjeong, we went to another church and found our way into it and we were able to email. Then we came to Geumjeong and bought her a cake. Then we went shopping, returned home and then again went outside and talked to people for the rest of the night.
On Tuesday, we went outside in the morning and then came back and then I went on an exchange with one of the Elders in our house. It was a good exchange and I needed to get everything prepared for our Friendship night so I did a lot of things at the church, and talked to him about a couple things. Then we went home and then he talked with his companion and then we went outside and worked for the rest of the night.
Wednesday was interviews with President Barrow. So we went in the morning and went to the mission home and interviewed with President and that was a great time! Afterwards, we went home and studied for a bit and then went outside and got a few things done and dropped of cookies that we made for members to them and then we went off to a meal appointment with a member.
On Thursday, we went on a quick exchange and we went to the church where I made more cookies and worked on things for the friendship night. Then we went outside for a bit and talked to people and came back to the church and had English Class.
Friday was extremely busy because we still had to make a documentary and get some games planned out and make everything look professional. So, we did that for most of the day, and went outside here and there and went out in the morning and it was extremely good to be able to find people that want to come closer unto Jesus Christ.
On Saturday, went outside in the morning and then studied and then after that we went to the church and I finalized things and then we got everything set up and it looked extremely nice. Then afterwards we had a very good amount of people come to our friendship night meeting where they played games and did couple trivias and what not and it was a great time!
Then on Sunday, we had a great time at church and a brother who was Japanese came! So I translated in Japanese for him and that was a great time! Super fun!! Then we got done with church and then we met a new investigator and had a good lesson with him and then we went outside and talked to some other people and then we went home and made some food, and dropped it off for some other people and then we went to a meal with the Bishop and his wife and that was splendid!
It was an absolute marvelous week and we are so happy to be here in Korea serving the people here!!
Love Always,
