life here is fabulous as always :) so here's what happened in a nutshell:
1. We had temple day on Tuesday, and of course, since 할머니 할아버지 are so 열심히 and diligent in attending the temple, I was unexpectedly able to see them there! and the weather was so so nice! seriously, fall in korea is the BEST!!! and to be at the temple in the nice weather with family i love, there was nothing more i could ask for :)
2. This past Thursday, we had a Mission Tour and President Ringwood visited our mission! His wife spoke about how hard things are worth it when you look back after it's over! So she encouraged us to keep going and gave us a "mom's pep talk!" And then President Ringwood talked to us about how we can prepare for the upcoming General Conference because our Heavenly Father can really answer our prayers through the talks given at this time. He told us this story of how last conference, there was a man who had a child who was very sick. And he was in the hospital and he was just emotionally a wreck because he cared so much for his child and it was just so hard for him to see his child sick. On Sunday, he was sitting at the hospital and the thought popped up into his head that maybe he could get General Conference on his phone. So he turned it on. Elder Nelson and Elder Rasband both spoke back to back about people with disabilities. And this man just happened to tune into conference right at the time when one of these two speakers (can't remember which one it was) stated beautifully and peacefully that some of the sweetest of God's spirits are sent to earth in frail bodies. And then the doctor came into the room so he had to turn off his phone. But through those 30 seconds, this man received the message that he needed to hear from God. President Ringwood then stated that our Heavenly Father is aware of us and our lives, down to each second. Are we prepared to allow his hands work miracles in our lives? It was just a great spiritual meeting!!!
3. Our investigator that we miraculously met on the street, remember the 12 year old girl? She came to church! And the primary kids were really noisy and loud for some reason this past Sunday and so I was so afraid that she wouldn't like being here. But all I could do is pray so i just kept praying in my heart and begged Heavenly Father to have her feel the Spirit somehow. And you know what? when people are prepared, it doesn't matter if there is a huge typhoon trying to swallow them up; they are solid and steadfast. and she told us that she liked it and we're meeting her next week too! God really works in mysterious ways!!! And we taught her the 1st lesson and she hugged the Book of Mormon we gave her so so tight when we asked her to read the introduction--like literally hugged it with a huge smile on her face! She said she wants to get baptized!!! MIRACLE! We're planning on October 20th but we have to make sure we get permission from her mom so we're going to prayerfully meet and talk to her mom this week! Gahh! there are so many other small details that i wrote in my journal but I don't have much time so i'll write more later :P
Jee: thanks for your email! you and max look like you're having so much fun!!!! and nope, i don't think i have anything else I need for now :) but i'm not in a rush so don't worry! Also, i need your new address!! and if you could, could you get me Stephanie Averett's address through my facebook? She got baptized while i was in Salt Lake and i want to write her but I don't have her address! Send her a message through FB and see if you can get a hold of her if you have time :) love you sis!!
Daddy: your letter was so touching :) 늘 감사해요 아빠 엄마. 행복한 가정이 있다는 것이 얼마나 큰 축복인지 매일 매일 깨닫고 있어요. 사랑해용~ ^^
Thought: President Ringwood said that what kept nephi going and what allowed him to say "I will go and do" is found in 1nephi 2:16-the end. Simply said, he found out for himself that these things are true. And never strayed from it :) may we all do so if we haven't yet :)
love you all!
sister cho:)
pics: from the templ with our president's wife and 할머지 :)! i'll send more later!
