oh boy these past two weeks have been so so crazy! But full of so so so many miraclessss!!! Yay! So here's what's been happening in a nutshell:
1. ok so jee, i just got notice from you and from our mission office about my departure date being changed from april to march! boo. but i'm sure it's that way for a reason! :/ (remember this smiley face jee? teehee) thanks for being so optimistic though sis :)
2. We had transfers two weeks ago (sister kim went to 화곡!) and I am training a sweet Korean sister named 이정빈자매님 and she's just great! she's always willing to do anything we need to get done so i love that about her :) Oh and i've always heard of lots of miracles happening in an area where a new missionary comes in but i'm seeing it first hand now! All of a sudden, we got referrals from people left and right and we actually are teaching 3 new investigators this week! WOW. We've been trying our best to stretch ourselves and do our best and blessings have really just been pouring :D boy, not only is this work spiritually rewarding but it's funnn :)
3.so other neat things happened too during the past two weeks but my thoughts are currently consumed with something amazing that happened this weekend! So we got a call from our APs this past Friday night, that on the next day, we would be teaching two chinese people who just want to be baptized! WHAT??! yeah that was what i thought to, where did you come from dear miracle? they speak little a little english but no korean so there is a sister in our ward who is super good at chinese (everyone says she's like a native!) and so we got to teach in korean and english and that sister translated for us! it was SO COOL!!! and they were so so prepared! AND REALLY, THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT WE WEREN'T EXPECTING! so one of them got baptized yesterday and the other is getting baptized today!! what a blessing it was for us to be able to teach these amazingly prepared people with our translator! it was the sweetest experience ever because even though i couldn't understand what they were saying before the translation happened, we could feel the spirit so strongly because they were so prepared and so thirsting for knowledge! even though we taught all the lessons in 2 days (we taught 3 in one day and 1 the next day! sister 이 didn't seem like a new missionary!) the two people were so interested and so they just kept asking questions and weren't tired or 지쳐 at all!!! it was the neatest thing everrrr! we were so so blessed! :D also, i want to learn chinese now lol :) i learned one thing: jjun lehi (yeah, like lehi from the book of mormon!!! that's how i remember it lol) means "대단해요" or that's great or something like that. i know it's got a positive meaning but i don't exactly know what it really means :P but i mainly like that it has the word "lehi" in it. cuz lehi's awesome.
4. okay so the thought i'd like to leave you today: i've been continuing my studies in the Book of Mormon in 3 Nephi and i read the part where Christ asks Nephi why he didn't write down Samuel the Lamanite's prophecies. and then i remembered the part in ether 2 where the Lord chastens the Brother of Jared for three hours because he didn't call upon the Lord. and then i remembered a talk given by Elder D. Todd Christofferson's talk in conference a few years ago where he talked about how the Lord chastens those He loves so we can improve and become better and worthy for celestial glory. And as i've been thinking about how we are all pushed and stretched/ trying to push ourselves and stretch ourselves not only in the mission field but just in life in general, i understand Christ's love for us on a totally different level than i knew before. Elder Christofferson says "If we sincerely desire and strive to measure up to the high expectations of our Heavenly Father, He will ensure that we receive all the help we need whether it be comforting, strengthening, or chastening." and i know that this is true :)
love you all! have a great week! :)
