dear people i love.
so this week has been full of so many cool miracles! :D let me share one of them with you!
so on Tuesday, we were coming home from a meeting called Zone Leader Council where we were trained by President and Sister Christensen on how to teach according to the Spirit and the meeting was really so spirit filled! (It's really cool to hear from all the zone leaders of the mission; i'm so grateful and humbled that I've been able to attend the past 3 times as the coordinating sister because i've been able to learn so much from each of the experienced zone leaders and i've really gained a motivation to do and be better as a missionary as i've heard from each of the elders and also from President and Sister Christensen. President and Sister Christen sen are truly called of God; for lack of better words, all i can say is that you can feel it in their presence and through their words.) So after this meeting, we were on our way home on the 7018 bus and there was this couple sitting next to us across the isle. So we started talking to them and actually the man just pretended like he wasn't listening and it was just the lady 아줌마 who occasionally smiled as we lead the conversation. and turns out they were going home from visiting their child's home to eat 떡국 for the new year and we started talking about families and we explained we teach about eternal families and introduced the Book of Mormon as evidence of God's love for all His children. I offered them a copy and the wife turned to the husband who had heard everything but never looked at us :P and she whispered in his ear something which we assumed had to do with taking the book we were offering. and then the husband kinda shook his head and the wife gave us a smile and said "we don't need one, thank you." we said that was fine :) we had delivered our message but we wanted to keep talking to them so we just continued the conversation for about the next 5 minutes about their family and also about how we made 떡국 at home and how that was an adventure! then we stood up to get off at our stop and the lady whispered something in the husband's ear again and this time the husband guy kinda looked at her softly and had said something approvingly back to her after finally looking at us (yay!) and the bus stopped, the doors opened and we pressed our bus cards on the card reader machine to get off and said good bye to the couple. and the lady said last minute "um can you give us one of those books?!" sister lee and i were like SUPER happy---but we were just about to get off so we were surprised and the bus doors were open for us! so sister lee said to the bus driver "uhh!!! 아저씨!! 잠깐만이요!! can you hold on just a sec?!" (but all of that was in korean, don't worry haha) and we took all the 전도 cards out of one of them and gave it to her quickly! with just enough time to tell her to call us later! we were just so shocked after we had gotten off the bus. and we wondered whether a change of heart (it was a small change but still, a change!) could really happen in like 5 minutes! and then we concluded that yes it can, because God can do anything :)
it reminded me of something i read recently in an old liahona where elder Lesueur stated, "We are all flawed in some significant way...we need only give our best effort to the Lord. In turn he will bless us and magnify us and, in a marvelous way, make us whole." we aren't perfect, but as we act on what we know, He can work miracles :)
so many other cool things happened this week but i don't have time to share them all :P
have a great week! love you all!
