Pictures!!

This week has been full of rain and wind and they do not mix.  It has been super fun, we have gone through a couple of umbrellas and have had a lot of laughs.  This transfer is going to be super fun.  My new companion is (김민수 kim minsu).  And she is the cutest Korean!  We are STL's on our island, so that means we will be taking a lot of airplane flights this transfer!  We were suppose to take a flight this week for a meeting in Busan, but because of the fog our flight got delayed for a couple of hours.  So we were trying to find a new flight and it ended up that the Elders and us were running around the airport for a couple of hours and on the phone with our AP's trying to find a flight.  The Elders were able to get a flight, but.... we weren't able to get one.  So we ended up just Skyping into the meeting which was also eventful.  We couldn't hear what anyone was saying so we had to call them and have them hold the phone up to their mouth so we could hear.  It was really funny meeting, but we are glad that we got to attend the meeting!  This week we were finally able to watch General Conference with our ward.  Because my companion right now is Korean we did a split with the members.  So while my companion was watching General Conference with the members, I watched it with all of our English Elders in a different room.  Which was super fun!  I learned a lot this General Conference and I learned that General Conference is so personal for everyone.  No matter who you are or where you are, it applies to you.  You can always learn from it and progress in the gospel.  For p-day we went to a optical illusion museum and a Greek museum and it was super fun.  So I hope you all enjoy a ton of pictures!  I love you all!! ​

BAPTISM and cherry blossoms

Hey this week has been super exciting!! We had a BAPTISM this week for 김은주 and it went amazing!  We had a little stress because they started doing construction on the baptismal font and bathrooms a couple days before the baptism.  But after a lot of negotiation we were able to do the baptism through the construction with freezing cold water, which was a blessing.  I am so happy for her!  It is really cool to see the change in someone while they are preparing for baptism and I am glad I have been able to see her change.  We also had a really fun proselyting activity we did the other day. In Korea right now there is a huge cherry blossom festival going on so the missionaries in my area decided to go and do a face painting and balloon animal booth to attract families so we can talk to people about the gospel.  And it was a huge a success!  We were able to get a lot of contacts and it was just all around a good experience!  It was super pretty too because of all the cherry blossom trees and lanterns that were everywhere.  But I don't have very much time to email because of transfers and I get a new companion!!!
Everyone have a good week!

There is a mouse in the house!

This week has been a super fun week!  So funny story... This morning we were cleaning our house and my companion saw these black balls all around our shoes and in one of cupboards and she thought it was mouse poop.  So we just assumed we had a mouse in our apartment and that it was in the cupboard by our shoes... so we closed the cupboard with our shoes and tapped it shut, then we cleaned our house looking for this mouse and then we called our landlord to come and kill the mouse in our cupboard.  So our landlord came over with his wife and he started to look at the mouse poop and he found out that it was rubber.  Turns out when we went and played soccer this past Saturday with our ward we went to a different field and the turf looks like mouse poop.  So that was are funny experience for the day!  But this week has been a really good week. We have had a lot of appointments and we were able to finish teaching one of our investigators and she is getting baptized this Saturday so we are super excited about that coming up this week!  But everything is going good! Love you all!!!!!

Baptisms

Sorry for the delay, we had Zone conference this week which pushed my pday to Tuesday instead of Monday.
This week has been a week of incredible things!
So to start off this week we had a baptism!  We have been working as a team with the Elders helping one of our part-member's son, 김은주,  learn about the church and this week he got baptized!  We were all super happy that we have helped this family get one step closer to becoming sealed in the temple together!  After the baptism we had a BUNCO night with the ward and it was super fun!  It was so funny all the members were getting in to it and I think we will be playing a lot more bunco later on because they loved it so much!
More big news, one of our investigators, 임민유, is getting baptized in 2 weeks and we are so excited!  She is the cutest lady and she really truly is changing.  She said when she first met the missionaries it was like a ding happened in her head and that it was telling her that this is the church she needs to go to!  She is making so much progression and I feel like she is already a member!!  I could go on about how much I love her, but I don't have the time!
We also went and ate sushi this week and it was super good.  They serve sushi here in Korea it is so good and I don't think I have ever eaten more in my life!  It's really cool they serve it here on a conveyer belt and you just grab the one that you want!
I am just doing really good right now!  The Lord is blessing us here in Jeju and we are seeing so many miracles and we are so busy!  We barely have time to do anything, it is super fun!  Well I love you all! Have a good week!

ups and downs

Things I have learned on my mission;
Language doesn't matter
Korean food it really good
We are given hard times for a reason
There are ups and downs in life
Gods loves everyone individually
I love my family more than anything

This week has been really interesting.  The first thing is the investigator that had a baptism date this week dropped us out of the blue.  And at first we were really heartbroken and it was so sad seeing her give up something that would give her so much happiness.  But I know God has a plan with his timing, so later on she will remember the gospel and how much it helped her in her life and she will return back to it.
Another thing we did it was we went on exchanges and it was a blast.  So where I live in Jeju it is all Chinese people on vacation.  So we have been trying to figure out how to talk to Chinese people.  And this week we have found some simple english, a few chinese words, pictures, and with lots of help from the Spirit we are able to talk to them.  And it is amazing!  They are so willing to listen to us and they want to learn more.  So now we are emailing all of these Chinese people and it is amazing how the Lord is working through us.  We also promised one of our investigators who is 10 that if she prays every single night she won't have nightmares.  And we have been praying that this little girl will pray and have no nightmares.  And I am happy to say prayers work!  This little girl had no nightmares every single time she prayed!  We were so happy!  It really was just a huge miracle for her, showing that God is there and that he loves her and is looking out for her.  Well I hope you have a good week. Sending lots of love!!

Mexican food and Chinese

Can I just say that I love Korea and that I especially love Jeju!
So this week we have been so busy running around from appointment to appointment that we have been super tired, but it has been amazing!  We have one investigator this week who has been progressing a lot and has stopped drinking coffee and is trying her best to follow all of the commandments so were super exited for her.  And we also have one investigator whose heart was completely closed to the gospel in the beginning, but has completely changed.  And she is wanting to know about God and is wanting to come to church and help others come to church so were completely excited over that.  And we are giving her a baptism date tonight so we are super excited about that!!  We are also having a lot of fun trying to figure out how to talk to all the Chinese people on vacation here in Jeju.  So we're getting messed up between English, Korean, and Chinese.  So sometime we are saying three different languages in one conversation and it's just getting really confusing, but we're having so much fun!  We also found a Mexican restaurant here and it was amazing.  I have missed tacos and chips and salsa!  Have a good week!
