The first thing was Elder Oaks came to our mission and talked to us! It was such a good experience and I have been so lucky on my mission to be visited by so many Apostles of the Lord. You can tell that they are talking through the Spirit when they are answering the questions that are hard to answer.
The day that Elder Oaks came to our mission was a day full of miracles. That morning we were proselyting and we were having no luck. Everyone was ignoring us and we couldn't even get people to say hi back to us. But in the last couple of minutes we found this girl and she said she wanted to meet with us that day, but because we had Elder Oaks coming we were not going to get home until late that night. So we set up an appointment to meet with her at 8:45pm so we would only have 15mins to meet with her until we had to go home. But we felt really strongly that we should meet with her that night. So we set up the appointment and went to see Elder Oaks. And coming home from seeing Elder Oaks was crazy. First of all the meeting ended late, so we had to literally run to catch the subway home, and right before we got on the subway we realized we didn't have the phone, but we didn't have time to go back. So we were running around asking people if we could borrow their phone so we could call the Elders to have them bring our phone. Then we were on the subway and my companion realized she forgot like half of her stuff so we had to borrow someone else's phone to call the Elders again. And we found a lady who we had been talking with on the subway earlier again and she let us borrow her phone. And then we ran from the subways to the bus and caught the bus right before it left, and then once we got off the bus we took a taxi to the church. And somehow we got to the church at 8:40. And the girl ended up not showing up... but it was okay. Because we saw so many miracles that day. It just showed me that the Lord is on our side and he is going to do everything he can to help us out, but everyone has their agency. So they can choose to meet with us or not to meet with us, and they choose to talk to us or ignore us. But the Lord is going to put us in their way so they have the option to choose for themselves. It was a super crazy night, but a good one.
This week has been pretty normal, proselyting, English class, studying, teaching, and just being busy. I have learned everyday there are miracles happening you just have to search for them and if you can't find them, you can make them!!
have a good week! 사랑해요 ~
