week 58: 하이~

Dear People I Love,

Wow time just flies. Seriously! I feel like I just email you!

Anyway, this is what happened this past week in a nutshell:

1. We had a Thanksgiving dinner this past Thursday at an American family's house and it was so so fun! (All missionaries were invited by the English branch families which we were so grateful for!) So we had turkey and mashed potatoes and like a ton of different pies! it was so yummy and the family who invited us over was so fun! I love happy families!

2. We had 보쌈 at a member's house on Sunday and he's the one that i'm related to and guess what? he found old pictures AND DADDY, YOU'RE IN THEM! bahaha it was so fun to see pictures of your youth :D

3. During 전도, we came across this lady who wasn't very friendly at first. she just pretended to ignore us but we delivered our message and then just talked to her about normal conversation things like the weather and stuff and she just opened up!!! And told us about her life and her grandchildren and then wanted to buy us corn on the cob! but we said we were ok :) but just reminded me of how important it is 1. not to judge. and 2. to just be a friend, as cliche as it sounds :)

Thought for the day: I've been reading and thinking a lot about the concept presented by Elder Bednar in 2 Nephi 2:26 about acting and not being acted upon. I've realized how important it is to be active in making decisions so that we act instead of being acted upon by our surroundings because we have more freedom and control when we act first. And I've realized that we can show more faith when we choose to do something rather than being slightly pushed or pressured to do something. And when making decisions and acting, the most important is to proactively choose to give ourselves to God. In a talk called The Fourth Missionary, it said "God cannot work on what he does not have, and He cannot have you, unless you give yourself to Him." It's been a great week but sorry I didn't give you many details! :P But conclusion: church is true :)

love you all!
