i hope everything is going well for everyone! cuz i'm doing great here! every day is just so awesome :) 하루하루가 너무 재미있어요! and jeehee hope your week is going great even with all your tests, calling, and other stuff! (oh ps. I WOULD HAVE NO FEET IF I DIDN'T HAVE THE UGGS YOU SENT ME FOR CHRISTMAS! seriously, i wear them almost everyday and they are so warm!!!! thank you thank you thank you!! my comps decided they want some too so we're probably gonna get some for them next pday!)
so this past week, we had a baptism! and this was a miracle baptism! so this sweet gal named 미선 (haha i have a hard time remembering names but this one i can remember thanks to mommy!) and she just got baptized a little while ago and i guess without us asking for a referral, she just brought her sister 미정이 to one of the lessons! and she wanted to be baptized! how awesome is that? so this past week, i had the opportunity to teach a real person in korean! of course i had a lot of help from my companions who are awesome and they are so experienced! i'm learning so much from them--which is good because the style of teaching koreans is different than what i'm used to which is teaching american people. so anyway, we just reviewed all the lessons with her from the restoration to all the commandments and it was so fun! what was cool is that 미정 is a little slow so remembering things is really hard for her so sometimes she freezes during her prayers because she forgets what to say next. but miraculously, she remembered SO MUCH when we were reviewing all the lessons and she was shouting out all these answers that we didn't think she would have remembered! and she gave the closing prayer and it was the SWEETEST prayer ever! so simple but pure and beautiful! gahhh she's great! she was so happy when she was baptized; i didn't realized how much she really wanted it after seeing her sister go through with it too.
anyway, i love it here! it's really awesome because when we're hungry, we just whip up some korean food and sister park (one of my companions) is a way good cook so when we are 출출해, she'll just cook up things like 떡꼬치 (my new favorite food!) and 국수 just like mommy did for us at home! i love it! oh and my companions are amazing! i didn't have time to write about them much last time but Sister Park is from Gwangju and she's been out for a little over 6 months and she's the cook i was talking about :) she's super cute and i actually took a microbiology class with her sister a year ago! she's so good at teaching lessons in ways that people will easily understand so i'm learning that from her :) and Sister Bae is from Daegu and her family is really well known in the church in korea; her dad is like a stake president i think! and she's crazy good at street 전도! so i've been learning a lot from her too!
as for the weather: well, it's super cold but it's bearable! oh and 할아버지's friend delievered some coats and super cute scarves that 경언니 wanted to send me so please tell 할머니 that i got everything and that everything fits and that i love it all! :) i couldn't have asked for a better family :P
and yes daddy, i can see korean now so you can write in korean! love hearning from you! and thanks for letting me know about 환오 오빠 and 수진언니! that's so exciting! i'm sure they're having a great time because it's really impossible to have a bad time when you're proclaiming such a beautiful and happy message!
and the thought of the day: i was reading in 1 nephi chapter 11 when nephi sees the vision his father saw and it's the chapter where like every verse it says "the Spirit said unto me: look!" and i thought it was really cool that RIGHT AFTER that, it always says "and i looked" and then Nephi sees awesome things that the Lord wants him to see! i was thinking about how sometimes, we get promptings to do something, or we learn something awesome because Heavenly Father wants to show us things that will bless our lives and those around us, but then we don't act on it! so i'm going to work on "looking" when i'm prompted to "look." cuz every good thought is from God :)
anyway, i hope all is well! 사랑해요 ^^
