I don't have much time today so i will quickly update you on the miracles that happened this past week:
1. So there was this 12 year old girl we met on our way to a less active member's house last week; she was walking and sister kim said "hi" in english and then looked at me and i didn't even see who she was talking to but i turned around and took the que and continued in english with "how are you" and that's really all it took to see a huge smile on this cute girl's face! and we talked and set up an appointment to meet! and guess what? SHE REALLY CAME! and she said that her parents don't have a preference of what church she and her sisters attend! and she was really excited to come to our church and asked about the kids her age, and guess what? turns out that she already knows a family in our ward because they used to live next door to them and so the kids played together all the time! and the families have a good relationship with each other already! MIRACLE :D yay for awesome solid membersss! and she said that she wants to come to church next week and she gave the closing prayer too! sister kim and i were like, whoa, what just happened! where did you come from?! so we're going to meet her every saturday and teach the lessons and we're going to get the member family to continue being awesome and being friends with her family! we are so so excited!
2. we were able to attend stake conference on sunday and we found out that the seoul stake and the north stake are now combined! and 서대문 신촌 wards are combined too! everyone was really surprised to hear that! it's a lot of change but it was so awesome to see how all the members were optimistic about this and taking it as a chance to progress and grow together. because sometimes, change is necessary for progression :) and we were able to hear from Elder Kikuchi too! he talked about his favorite childrens' story: Lambert the Sheepish Lion and he was a real fun story teller ;) it's a story about a lion who grew up with sheep and then when a pack of wolves attack, he realized that he's not the son of a sheep; he's the son of a lion. and he said that likewise, many of us don't fully know that we are sons and daughters of our Heavenly Father. It was such a spiritual meeting! before we knew it, it was time to go! wow the 2 hours just flew by! and i also saw all these people that i knew before from 서대문 ward including 할머니 할아버지 and it was neat; i love them :)
ahh no time! i'll share more later! thought of the day: someone said that the trials that lie before us are never bigger than the power of God behind us. So true; even though sometimes, our planners look white and clean because we don't have many appointments, things just keep happening and we just keep seeing miracles as we do out best because it's not our work, it's His.
love you all!
