wow so much happened this past little while!! so here we go!
1. so last week when i didn't write much, IT WAS MIRACLE WEEK!! because we got 4 new investigators and another one this past week! so basically, sister hill and i have been doing everything we could think of to find new people to teach but we couldn't find new investigators. but we kept going and doing the things we needed to/could do in order to keep showing faith--like 전도, we 전도ed A TONNN!! i got to the point where i questioned whether or not i really knew what faith is because i thought i was exercising faith in finding new investigators, but it didn't seem like our efforts were bringing about anything! and right then, we got a phone call from our district leader who gave us a referral of a mom and a daughter who want to do the 30/30 program so we met them AND WE'RE MEETING THEM EVERY THURSDAY NOW YEEE! and then, we had a lesson with an investigator that we recently met AND SHE BROUGHT A FRIEND. wow. that was AWESOME. but here's the best part: so last saturday, sister hill and i were wondering where we should go 전도 and we thought of a place called 구로 Digital 단지 역. we hadn't really 전도ed in that place much so we decided to go after English class. we tried to get on a bus that would take us there but all these buses lined up in a row and the ones we wanted to get on were in the back and we figured they'd stop closer to the front but they just left!!! so we missed a few buses like that and then we missed another bus because we asked the bus driver if his bus goes to that place but he said no but then while it was driving off, someone told us it does. lame huh? so 10 minutes later we finally got on bus but this one dropped us off a street next to the cross walk we wanted to be at. but we decided to 전도 at the crosswalk we got off at first (cuz there were SO MANY PEOPLE THERE!!!) and then make our way over to the other place. so we talked to people there for a while and then we were just overwhelmed with how many people there were so we just decided to go down to the other cross walk. and right when we got to the next crosswalk, a lady walked up to us and asked us what we were doing. she came from 부산 so she had an accent and she looked mid 50's. and she was so so super nice!! and she told us she wanted to meet us!!! I KNOW, MIRACULOUS RIGHT? if your jaw just dropped, then you may now close your mouth tee hee ;) so we met her and we told her about a ward picnic we were having on wednesday and she was like "oh great! that'll
be so much fun! i'll take my sunglasses and everything too!" sister hill and i were like "wait, what's going on?!! so many blessings!!" so she came to the picnic and she came to church this past sunday too!! she was like "okay well i'll see you next sunday too, right?" bahaha it was so awesome! so i think i have a better understanding of the idea that miracles happen after the trial of your faith. (i realized i don't get to pick the duration of the trial of faith period :P) and i definitely have a better understanding of the phrase "blessings poured upon you" because they were totally poured upon us!!!
2. so monday we went to the zoo as a zone and it was sooo fun!! i held a baby leopard (that's trained so it was real nice) and a NON poisonous snake!! it was super hot so even when we're not doing anything, we just sweat. so it's way gross but you get used to it :P but nonetheless it was so much fun :D
3. so on tuesday, we visited that girl, remember the 11 year old who asked when the missionaries are coming back? yep her! we visited and she just was totally NOT SHY anymore!! and we played some games and then taught about prayer and turns out she's been going to a random church close to home BY HERSELF because her family doesn't go but she wanted to!!! so she has had a desire to go to church! and guess who popped into the picture: sister cho and hill yeee! yay for the spirit who knows everything and gives us promptingsss! so that went super well! we want to invite her to family home evening with a ward family on an upcoming monday!
4. English class is going great! boy i love teaching! we reviewed "where are you?" "im in the kitchen/yard/bathroom/etc" and "what are you doing?" "i'm eating, playing soccer, washing/etc." so that we can present it as a skit at the end of this month for our english class presentation! it was so cute, this little boy was like "i'm in the chicken!" because chicken was a word close to kitchen! and i remembered jee you and i had that problem too when we were little! and remember "보란색?" bahaha
5. the church is true :) and miracles come in the Lord's time if we are just doing our best in being obedient during the trial of our faith. i knew this principle in my head while growing up in the gospel and attending church and seminary and stuff. but now i can say that i know this principle with all my heart :) read ether 12 if you have time! i always just thought of verse 27 when i thought of ether 12 but there's so much other good stuff about faith in it too!
6. i'll send you all those bows when i can jee :)
7. love you all! have a great week!
