4. so on saturday, we had our mission christmas devotional and guess who was there: ELDER AND SISTER OAKS! it was awesome! we all got to shake their hands, one by one (like in 3 nephi!) and it was so coool! you know how there are people who just "beam?" i didn't quite get that but i get it now seeing Elder and Sister Oaks! i want to be like thattttt! that's my new goal. to BEAM because of the gospel in my life :) so the sister missionaries got to sit up real close to the pulpit (so i was in row 3 of the chapel) and so the sisters got to shake his hand first and then i got to see everyone else shake his hand and it was the coolest thing; with one hand shake and hello, his light just transferred to each one of the people that shook his hand. CRAZY HUH? so everyone walked away with a huge smile! it was real neat. and it's a mission tradition to sing silent night in all the languages represented in the mission so groups of people got up to sing it in their languages so my companions learned it in korean throughout the week and we sang it there and it went really well! all the other groups were really big but ours was just us three so we put harmony into it and it sounded pretty! and elder Oaks whispered to us "well done!" after we finished! haha it was such a neat experience!
5. so the Oaks spoke to us for like an hour and it was great! Something i really liked was the phrase sister Oaks put on bookmarks that she made us! it says "OBEDIENCE is the price. FAITH is the power. LOVE is the motive. the SPIRIT is the key. CHRIST is the reason." it made me think about what we are all doing in this life! we are trying to progress and become better so we can live in eternal happiness with Heavenly Father! i'm so grateful for this knowledge!
6. love you all. merry christmas.
Sonhee!!
