Week 84: No time at all

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
