Week 82: Working for a baptism, working on an English Book

This week was spent doing a ton of office work! The weather got super nice and it was a really good week and the first week of the transfer always means a lot of meetings! It was a super great week and really effective!! I love Korea and I really do have the most joy when I am able to talk to others and help them come closer unto Christ!

By watching conference, I was able to learn a lot and have a lot of things were able to come back to mind as I really pondered the gospel of Jesus Christ and what it means to me. The gospel is so perfect and through the restoration of it that was taken place, we are able to take part of all its' blessings. But something that I felt this week is that church, is not a hotel for saints, but rather a hospital for sinners. It is okay to make mistakes, as long as we correct them. Now does that mean premeditated sin is okay, no. But what that means is that when you really do make a mistake, that we can change and come back to Jesus Christ and stand up every taller and brighter than we
were before! I love this gospel and words cannot express how thankful I am for it.

Last Monday was transfers, so in the morning we cleaned up the house and emailed and then ran some errands and then went to the mission home with Sister Anderson and all her baggage. It is kind of weird seeing the sisters that I went into the MTC with, go home! Especially after getting so close with them! So then we went and talked to some people and then went outside and had lunch and then went back to the mission home to say final goodbyes and then came back to Geumjeong. We had an area meeting with all the sister team and decided what to do for the baptismal service that we were going to have on Sunday. So we decided to a musical number that I would have to accompany.

On Tuesday, we studied and then we went to the church and practice the song and then went outside and talked to a bunch of people on the street and then came back and practiced some more!

On Wednesday, I was called to work with a person who is making a new English class textbook for all the missions in north east asia. So I'm working with him now to make this book!! so that was super exciting and then we ate and then went outside for a little bit and talked to people and then we went to the church to work on the song with the rest of the missionaries.

Thursday we went to a meeting the morning for District Leaders and during the meeting, we were able to learn so much!! Then had an interview and then went home and then went straight to English Class. English Class was good and then we taught our investigator Daut and that was great!

Friday, we studied in the morning and then we went outside and talked to some people and then we came back to church and practiced and then we had some meetings to end the day!

Saturday was super busy. We had meetings in the morning and then we met witha  less active and then watched general conference, then we had a baptism and I played the music, accompanied and translated. So that that was a great time and then we cleaned!

Yesterday was all general conference and it made us pretty busy, but the spiritual enlightenment was amazing! I love conference!

I hope you all have a great week and love you guys

Love Always,

Elder Joshua Wilson
