dear people I love,
It was another great week here in Seoul! But I don't have much time today!
Our ward got combined with 녹번 and 불광 and it was SO SO SO cool to be able to see a full chapel! It felt like church in america especially cuz the building we meet in is very much like the american church buildings! It was really cool. Yay for more family names to get to know :)
So remember the miracle student we met on the bus? yeah, well we met her again and as we did "how to begin teaching" like it says in PMG (so inspired, by the way) with her, she had mentioned that she wants to know about the Plan of Salvation so we taught her about the pre earth life and she just had a TON of questions! It was really interesting because I guess I had taken that knowledge for granted! Like we learn from primary that we lived as spirits with our Heavenly Father and that we chose to follow the plan God had for us to come to earth. But a lot of people don't have this knowledge and I knew that but it clicked for me more as I met with this sister and saw how she wanted to know more about the pre earth life! She liked the scripture Jeremiah 1:5 (that the Lord knew us before we were born) and wanted more information from the Bible about it. We ran out of time so we are going to continue teaching about it next week! We are so excited though because she seems to have real intent! There is nothing more awesome than being in a room with the spirit. and someone who WANTS to feel the spirit.
Okay, so it's already time to call for Christmas already!! I will call korean time: December 25, 2012 at 11:00am. and we can talk for 40 minutes! California time i think that's December 24, 2012 at 6:00pm, right? yay i'm so so excited!
Short and sweet thought for the week comes from elder marvin j ashton: "The oil of spiritual preparedness cannot be shared." I always wondered why the 5 virgins couldn't share their oil, but i realize more and more everyday that no matter how much you want to share spiritual preparedness with others/ no matter how much others want to share it with you, you are in charge of collecting that oil drop by drop through things like prayer and church attendance and scripture study (cuz other's can't do that for you!). I have so many weaknesses but as long as we're trying, we have heavens' help so we're good :)
love you all! i'll send pictures next week! love you!
