dear people i love:
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S DECEMBER ALREADY!!!! wow, seriously time flies! so this week was really cool. both aspects of the meaning implied. we had lots of little miracles happen and it was also time to bring out the winter coats and scarves!! :D
so something really really awesome happened last Wednesday! we were on our way to a district meeting in 신촌 and so we were going to take the 110B bus that takes us from our house to 신촌 ward. the bus came and sister lee and i got on and i sat next to this girl. i said hi and she just smiled and said she was surprised how happy we were. and thus started our conversation! we talked about the weather and our families and stuff and she kept looking at my Book of Mormon. She asked if she could look at it and of course i said go for it! and she said that she hadn't been religious until some hard times hit her life and she felt like she should lean on God. So she started attending a church and has been reading the bible but she was interested in the Book of Mormon because she's never heard of it before! So we talked about how it's another testament of Jesus Christ and it also contains truth. I told her she could have my copy of the book if she wanted it and she was like "yeah, i'd really like that." and then as we got close to the next station, she pulled out her phone and was like "well, I get off at this stop but would it be okay if I got your phone number so I can contact you sometime?" you could tell she felt a little awkward in asking for someone's number that she just met on the bus but i was like REALLY??!!! DID SHE JUST ASK FOR OUR NUMBER BEFORE WE COULD ASK FOR HERS?!!! WHAT??! :D yeah. that definitely happened. so we're meeting her next thursday for 김치돈까스김밥 (my favoriteeeee at 김밥천국!) and to talk about the Book of Mormon! it was sooo cool! cuz usually we initiate most conversations and usually we bring up religion first and we talk about the book of mormon first and we ask for their numbers but SHE initiated everything! it was so so cool! this work really is true! elder dean, our AP who is going home this week, said in his departing testimony that although it's amazing to think that God can move mountains, what really amazes him is that God can move people's hearts. mountains aren't alive and they don't have agency to choose. but it's really amazing when God can move people who are alive and have agency to choose! so so true!
Thought for the week corresponds to what you said daddy about how important it is to listen to the promptings of the Spirit! it comes from president Uchtdorf from this past general conference: "Let us listen to and obey the promptings of the Holy Spirit. As we do so, Heavenly Father will reveal to us things we never knew about oursevles. He will illuminate the path ahead and open our eyes to see our unknown and perhaps unimagined talents." i know that i am a daughter of God and i can do and be better as I try to follow the Spirit :)
Have a great week!!
Love you all!
Sister Cho
