안녕!

Aye!

This week was long but good!
Since the area had no investigators we had some super long street proselyting days. We saw some cool miracles I let ya know whats up.
So Wednesday we had one appointment at 8pm so the rest of the plan before that was just street proselyte since we had no other things to do. 15 minutes into walking on the street I said hello to older man. I said (in korean)"Hello, I am missionary from the LDS church. Have you ever seen us before?" He replied "Mormons?.. Go away." I said, "If its ok may I ask why." He replied, "I hate your church." I kind of laughed and said, "Ok well we aren't forceful people so we will go but next time you see us say hello we are a good church I promise." Then we left and walked down the street and five minutes later that same guy came out of nowhere crossing the street and said, "Hey let me by you lunch." I smiled and said, "Don't you hate us?" He said, "Let's go inside and talk." So we sat down with him and ate lunch and talked. Turns out he met with missionaries along time ago and has BOM. We invited him to try reading and bore our testimonies of the BOM. He told us when ever we are hungry to call him and we can talk more. Through this experience I was able to see that God does soften hearts. I am grateful for this opportunity to be here serving these amazing people!

Transfers

Hey yall

So I got transfered to Busan Zone to the Gumjeong are and am going to follow up train Elder Kershaw! I am actually really sad I have to leave Gyoungju. Things were going super good with Elder Lee and we found tons of new investigators.

I don't have much time so I will share our lesson we had with one of the new investigators. His name is Park Heongshin. He is 24 attending college here. We first met him will doing a advertizment for english class. He wanted to do our 30/30 program. So we met him at a Starbucks. He is actually really good at english. We actually went strait into the lesson, we started talking about our purpose as missionaries. Then I asked him if he had a relgion and he said no and he has no interest and he doesn't believe in God. I then asked him where he thinks we will go after this life. He said Heaven. I then asked him who is in heaven. He said God. We both laughed. And he suddenly got more interested and we bore our testimonies that we know that God has a plan for us. We gave him a Plan of Salvation pamphlet and Elder Lee and the new missionary are going to meet him tomorrow. It was amazing I could feel the spirit so strong that that lesson was like Alma and the Lamanite king in the BOM. I could feel the spirit telling me what to say and tell me what he thought. We just had to make him think because deep down he actually does know.

Have great week!

Hey!

This week as been an amazing week! Got some crazy stories to tell yall.

So to start off, last Pday we were hiking with the sisters on mountain that has a bunch of cool budah statues and stuff. So when we saw most of the budah stuff we got to the top and I was looking and I could see another huge statue. And by it was a monk waving us over. So we all speedily went over and talked with him and turns out he went to you Utah and saw temple square and also attended and session of conference (he is pretty good at english). He had a lot of questions about our church so we made a appointment with him later in the week. At that appointment we got to talk a lot about or church. He also gave us some fortunes which was really weird and funny. Sister Stout is apparently going to marry at about 30yrs old and she needs to need live some where were she can have a lot of sunlight because she is lacking light. Elders fortune was that he lacks water so he needs to live by a big river or by the ocean and if he does he will be able to do anything. My fortune was that I must be physical therapist? And if I don't do it and if I don't help people through that job then I will get hurt. He said that I am balanced so I don't need any elements. That was really interesting haha. Anyway we were able to give him a BOM and a Plan of Salvation pamphlet.

Next, the whole busan mission did a fast for 24 hours Saturday-Sunday for finding new investigators. Saturday we found a new investigator and made a appointment with him tomorrow and Sunday we had an investigator come to church. After church we met a potential investigator, Ujinn Han who is from Uzbekistan. He is really good at english. He is really humble and a really awesome guy. We gave him a BOM and he was so grateful for it. He told us he is going to read it all. We have another appointment with him next Sunday.

Sunday night as I was contacting random numbers in our phone I found two more potential investigators who we are going to meet on Wednesday!

I am so grateful that we fasted and could already find new investigators! I know that as we sincerely pray and fast for things that are within God's will he will provide! I am so grateful that I can be a part of these peoples lives and I can be spreading such a great message.

Aye!

This week went by really really fast. We had exchanges with the District leader. I went with an Elder named Elder Schupp! He is from Germany and he is super good at english and korean. I learned so much from him! I learned how to be a more a sincere and honest teacher/missionary. I have seen a huge difference now when I show people a short scripture on how I came to know something is true I feel the spirit and they feel the spirit more. So much better than simply saying "I know the BOM is true."I know that Joesph Smith is a true prophet and that he translated this book." And other simple missionaries phrases. I feel like those are good things to say but they don't have much sincerity and power behind it and it wont help convert them or feel the spirit. So that is something I have been trying really hard lately and it has made the work so much better! Sorry I don't have tons of time this week to email but I love you all and have a great week!

Hey everyone!

This week was pretty interesting! To start off there were 7 earthquakes last week! The first was the biggest (5.5). There is supposedly going to be a bigger one this month.

Anyway... So yesterday after church a old investigator randomly wanted to meet so he came to the church right after the branch had lunch together. When he met with the missionaries over a year ago he committed to baptism but moved to Thailand. Now he is back. I think has been humbled a lot he has a ear disease and I can tell he needs the gospel so much. We will meet with him next week on Saturday and teach him the 3rd lesson (The Gospel of Jesus Christ).
