week 22: Another week has passed :)

so i don't have much time so i'll just fill you in on the high light of the week: STAKE CONFERENCE! man i love it so much! i remember when i was little, i only liked stake conference because it was shorter than the 3 hours of normal church! ha. but i loveeeee it!

we had Elder Ringwood of the 70 come and talk to us and he was so good at Korean! he said that he had something to talk about but he felt prompted to share something else. so he talked about how 34 years ago, he did one simple thing: he knocked on a door. and turns out that led to the baptism of a girl who later married a nonmember and converted him. and he is now the bishop of a ward in 강서! and one of his daughters, introduced the church to her friend. and that friend, served a mission in Hawaii and just returned and turns out that this young lady was one of the translators at this meeting! he said that he shared this experience not because he wants credit. but he wanted to share with us how important it is to act on a prompting we receive. because small and simple things can have an impact on so many people! it was such an awesome meeting!

it was so cool because one of our investigators, the previous Jehovah's Witness lady was there and she loved it and felt the spirit! she even took notes because she said that it was something that she needed to hear! :D so hopefully she can continue progressing! gahhh i love this work! it's so awesome!

anyway, i love missionary work :D one of the biggest things that i'm learning in the mission field, is how strong of a force LOVE is. (i know i told you about it jee) it was LOVE that motivated Heavenly Father to give us families. it was LOVE that drove Him to create a plan for us. It was LOVE that allowed him to send prophets to declare that plan for us. It was LOVE that gave Him the desire to send His Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ to die for us (that's a hard thing to let happen unless you have a good reason to like LOVE) and it was LOVE that motivated him to restore the gospel to us even after people killed his Son! and it was LOVE that allowed him to give us the Book of Mormon so that we could be guided better back home to him. and it is LOVE that i am trying to learn so that i can have a REASON to help those investigators make it back home to Him as well :)

well, i LOVE you all :)
have a great week!
