this week was another great one yeee! i love the gospel gahhh :) so here's what's been going on:
1. my visa info came in and i laughed out loud when they told me to fill out the papers again because they threw away the other copy because it was too old or something. for some reason i thought that was going to happen :P so i filled it out again and took one of those hideous passport pictures at walgreens and got everything taken care of on thursday! the travel office said that if everything goes well, i will be leaving on Jan 16th so we'll see what happens :)
2. Daddy: Don from the travel office said he would need a copy of the letter that verifies my korean citizenship renunciation. did he contact you about that? if not, can you call in and check with what he needs? thank youuuu :)
3. so of course there was another miracle that happened this past week! we are teaching this family and they are inactive but one of the girls is baptism age. and they are great and so sweet but they didn't seem very motivated about coming back to church and christina (the girl) didn't seem like she was interested in baptism :( and they hadn't been praying and reading and getting to church :( we as a companionship had been praying to know what to do because there was no more we could teach them because the next step is for them to come back to church and for christina to be baptized. we prayed and studied about what we could share with them and sis Mousseau read in 1 nephi about how lehi had to leave EVERYTHING to follow God. we decided to teach them about this story and how we need to leave everything behind, not necessarily riches and a nice home (like lehi had to) but we need to leave things that get in the way of us getting to church, praying, and reading your scriptures! so we went to their house and guess what? THEY READ AND PRAYED AS A FAMILY THAT PAST WEEK! and you know what the biggest tender mercy is? THEY READ EXACTLY WHAT WE READ WHEN WE WERE STUDYING FOR THEM!!! the Spirit was sooo strong and they knew that they were doing the right thing! and what do you know, THEY CAME TO CHURCH THIS SUNDAY! even the dad was like "man, i can't believe i'm at church. and not just that, we're all here at 9AM church!!" that's what the gospel does; it changes you :)
4. seriously, when we leave everything behind, Heavenly Father can give us everything he knows is best for us. i mean Lehi dwelt in a tent! (1 nephi 2:15) but when he sacrificed what he had, he was blessed. and their family was guided to the promised land! that's my goal! to let go of everything so God can lead me to my promised land! yeeee :)
5. love you all :)

in the relief society room: we did a role play during district meeting and we were all a family so that's our family portrait!
and this is what our awkward family was like during the role play because the role play was about getting a family together to teach and removing distractions haha it was real fun!
