First of all HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY! thanks for being the best dad everrrr :) I can't thank you enough for the example you have been in my life; everything you've taught me about life and the gospel has/is coming in handy on the mission :) and thank you for your email! unfortunately, these computers don't have korean encoding/typing so i couldn't read it! but i'll read it when i get to korea and can email there :P sounds like you've been having a busy month so far filled with music! yay :) oh i meant to tell you last week, i met a korean family here and the dad's name is brother Kang Hyun Suck and he said that you two were MTC dong ki or something like that! they've been here in west valley for like 5 years and we had dinner at their house last week! so she made bulgogi and had different kimchis for us :D Sister Thompson LOVES korean food so she was so happy; she's really good at using chopsticks cuz she studied in Japan for a while. and this was Sister Mousseau's first time trying Korean food and she finished everything on her plate haha she said she loved the bulgogi but she wouldn't go out of her way to get kimchi bahaha
This week has seriously gone by so fast! We've been to 6 different Christmas parties for the wards in our stake to get referrals and they were all so fun! so don't worry mommy, missionaries here get taken care of especially during the holidays! We were asked to judge a pie contest at one of the parties so we tried a spoonful of like 20 different pies! it was only a spoonful of each but it was all so sweet so we felt sick at the end of the night :P there was this one pie that looked like a peanut butter/caramel pie and it looked really good so we tried it and we all looked at each other with our cringing double chin faces because it was some sort of lemmony tangy pie! we just kinda forced it down and moved on lol it wasn't a bad pie but it was just not the peanut butter sweet taste that we expected. i think that happens to us in life; we get something/God gives us something that we aren't expecting. and what we get isn't bad; actually it's good for us because God gives us what we need exactly when we need it to become better and stronger. but i think we sometimes don't like to accept the things that come our way because it's not exactly what we expected. but i think that as we lean on the Savior during those times, we can progress and become better! :)
As far as investigators go, it's been a rough week because people just haven't been home and one of our investigators didn't make it to church this past sunday so he fell off date :( but we're going to keep working with him so he can be baptized in january yay! but after all this "trial of faith period," we found two families who have been inactive and they want to start going to church again and they have kids who haven't been baptized! the Lord really does prepare people and what's really cool is that He let's imperfect people like us help find and teach them!
Today we have a sister's luncheon so i've gotta get going but i want to end with a thought i had during scripture study. i was reading 1 nephi 2:16. this is where Nephi really wants to know of the mysteries of God that his dad was able to see in a vision. in that verse, it says he had the three things Elder Oaks said you need to change, achieve, and become something: desire, faith and labor. He had "great desires"(desire) and "did cry unto the Lord" (labor) and "did believe all the words which had been spoken by my father" (faith). and his becoming, achieving and desiring was that he "did not rebel against him like unto my brothers." i'm trying to follow this pattern of righteous progression and it's just made it more clear that the church is true!
Love you all!
