week 72: hi hi :D

3/4/13

Dear people i love.

Boy this week has just flown by! We are loving 봉천! and we actually cover the 노량진 area too so that should be neat! :) Our new missionary is sister 구수미 and she's from Busan and she's so cute and fearless! We are always so happy and really enjoying the work!! 

So this is what I wanted to share with you this week:

This week, I've been studying the war chapters in Alma and i'm reading the part about Amalickiah. it's really interesting to see that while Amalickiah really uses all sorts of tricks to try and reign over all the land, "Moroni, on the other hand, had been preparing the minds of the people to be faithful unto the Lord their God." It was as simple as that. It's a running theme i've seen during my mission: As we are trying our best, everything works out the way Heavenly Father wants them to work out. We had an experience on Wednesday (after transfers) coming back from meeting the new missionaries. We had all this luggage when we got on the bus (because there were lots of missionaries taking the same bus leaving back to their areas) and slowly, all the missionaries got off and we were the last ones on the bus because we figured out we can take the bus to our area instead of trying to lug our stuff through the subway. This man on the bus started talking to us about the shortest way to the area we were going and we shared a message with him and he wasn't interested but he was very nice. then it was our turn to get off. We were about to get off when we realized that one of sister Arthur's suitcases was missing! ㅠㅠ The other missionaries who got off before us must have taken it off thinking it was theirs! So we got off the bus and thought about what we should do. (It was so neat because both my companions were very calm :) The man who was on the bus with us came off with us and tried to help us. And while we were calling other missionaries to see if they had seen the suitcase, the man just stood next to us, thinking of how he could help! We thankfully got word that someone had turned the suitcase into the police station so the Assistants were able to pick it up! We were all so relieved and happy--and so was the man! We thanked him for just being there and trying to help and we were about to leave and he said "well, I'm not interested in your message or english, but my daughter might be interested; well, at least in the english part. Let me give you my number." wow!!! (it was cool because it was our new missionary sister 구수미 who brought up english class while we were on the bus! she was not afraid to talk! :) So it was so cool because we actually met his daughter last Friday and she brought a friend too! We introduced the program to them and they said they'd want to talk to their parents about it but they said they'd call us back. Regardless of what happens, I know that the Lord can work through us--through our strengths and our weaknesses! It was no coincidence. nope nope! :) We are excited to see more miracles as we try to just be faithful to our Heavenly Father this transfer! it's scary to think this transfer is so short but i'm working to make every minute count :D

love love love you!
