This last week and this week are super jammed with
appointments, and that is great being a missionary!! If you are not busy,
then... Gotta find a way to make yourself busy! But this week, we have had such
great weather and we were able to go on multiple exchanges with great elders in
our district and overall a super happy, fantastic week!
This week, I felt prompted to talk about the sacrament. The
reason why we go to church is to partake of the sacrament and to remember and renew
our baptismal covenants. As I thought about this and the meaning of the
sacrament to me and to the entire world, I thought about how great it is that
we are able to go to church and to be spiritually uplifted and have all our
sins taken way. Church isn't a place to go
so that we pay pastors to teach or to learn just about the
bible just for fun. But Church is a place where we share love and friendship
with others and remember the covenants that we made and renew them so that this
upcoming week, we are able to feel whole!~
This last week on Monday, it was raining a ton, so we spent
P-day at the church. We ate food and played badminton and because of the news with
North Korea, we had to go to the mission home and get our passports. Don't
worry. This happens all the time and it will be alright! So we hung out at the
church and then at at 6 we went outside for a little bit and talked to others
and came back to church for a lesson, and our investigator thought we had
scheduled for another day, so we met him on Tuesday!
On Tuesday, we went to our new service project! WE got to
feed the elderly and work at a soup kitchen! It was a great experience! Then we
went home and studied and then we went outside for a little bit to talk to
people and then went to the church to meet our investigator! We had a great
lesson talking about the plan of Salvation!
Wednesday, we went on exchanges and we studied in the
morning and got to share the gospel all day! So we went outside and talk to
people and then went to Busan National University and played some basketball! It was great to play in missionary clothes
and have a fun time with others and got to share messages about the gospel!
Basically it was if I won, I got to share a message and never lost! Super
great! Then we came home and ate dinner and then went outside again and talked
to others!
Thursday, we studied in the morning and then went outside
and talked to some people and then went to Busan National University and did sticker
boarding! We were able to meet a lot of good people and then ate dinner. After
dinner we had English class and then we taught Daut! Daut has decided to get baptized on the 7th
of May, so we are hoping that will hold out!
On Friday, we had interviews with President in the morning
and then we had exchanges with the Assistant! So we had interviews and then ate
and because of a whole bunch of crazy things that happened, we ended up staying
inside and doing office work the entire day, but it was good and we got to run
a whole bunch of errands for the mission headquarters!
On Saturday, we met our original companions and then came
back to Geumjeong and then we studied a little bit and planned and then went outside
and then we had dinner with a member after teaching English class!!
Yesterday, we had a whole bunch of meetings after church and
Daut also came to church! I translated the entire time and that was super good and
then we went outside and we taught the gospel to others! It was a great week
and I love being here in Korea!
Love Always,
Elder Joshua Wilson
