Week 83: Happy Easter!

Wow... Today it is raining a ton outside. We are getting like 7 centimeters of rain and it is awesome. Actually not that awesome, but I love being outside and talking to others, so it is good. This week, we also got to take off our suits because it is getting warmer, so we

get to wear short sleeve shirts now!!! But this week, was a great week filled with meetings and going on exchanges with other great elders and exercising and serving others!!

Yesterday in Korea and today in the states is Easter. Easter is such a wonderful day. The story of Easter is very well known and I want to bear my that Jesus Christ did die for us and loves each and everyone of us. Not only that, but he overcame the bands of death and he rose after 3 days and is still living today. Just because he lived 2000 years ago and died, does not stop his influence and does not mean that he cannot help us. We can feel his love and our Heavenly Fathers' love everyday and that is something that I believe that we should always be grateful for. Today is a day to remember him and his sacrifice, but we should always remember him and strive to come closer to him!

On Monday, we hung out at the church and ate food and played badminton and just had a great day! It was really nice to get to relax and to exercise a little bit and to have a good time with all the other missionaries in our area. Then we went outside and talked to some other people and went to go drop by a members house because it was his birthday, so we took him a cake and then we went to the church to meet an investigator. But he ended up canceling because he didn't have time! But that is okay. We met him on Wednesday!

Tuesday, we didn't have anything to do, so that meant one thing... Spread to the gospel to everyone we see!! So we went outside and it was super great and we had a great day talking to a bunch of people in great weather!

On Wednesday, we had an exchange with the Gupo Elders, so I got to go to the Gupo area! So we studied in the morning and went outside for a little bit to talk to people and then we met with the other Elders and switched companions and then we went to Gupo! In Gupo, we talked to a lot of people and then went to the church and met a recent convert and we got to play basketball with some kids! Then to end the day, we went outside some more and shared the gospel with everyone.

On Thursday, I got back to Geumjeong and met my companion and then we talked to people outside and then had dinner and then we had English class. After English class, we taught our investigator Daut and he really enjoyed it and promised to come to church!!!

Friday, we had exchanges again and so we had a training meeting in the morning and then came home and did our studies and then we went outside to go talk to others. While doing so, we met someone on the street and asked him if he had time to talk and he said yes and we asked him if he wanted to learn about the church and he said definitely, so we went to the church and taught him and he loved it so much! And was super excited to meet again!!

Saturday, we de-exchanged and then we had a meal with a member and then came back and talked to others on the street and then had English Class. After English, i finished up working on the book and it is like 99% done, but still needs a little bit of tuning.

Sunday was Easter! And Easter was super happy!! In the morning the members all came super early and Daut came to church and loved it!! He said that he would want to come more and we were able to teach him and then we went outside for the rest of the day and found some great people that really want to learn about the gospel!! It was a great week filled of meeting great people!

I really do love it here and meeting the great people that we meet! I love you guys a bunch too!!

Love Always,

Elder Joshua Wilson
