week 16: an yeoung ha say yo from sister cho

first thing's first: minhee! i'm SOOOO glad you had fun at CCS choir! and a solo?? aww man can't wait to hear you sing :D if you have time, try and write down some of those thoughts in a journal (notebook or computer) so you can look back on it and remember those awesome things :)

so on tuesday we went to the temple! that morning, THE SUBWAYS WERE SO FULL!! everyone was squished up against everyone else! but the good thing was that when the subway stopped and started moving, usually we have to hold on to the handle things if you're not sitting down but since everyone was squished together and leaning up against each other, we didn't have to worry about that lol but the subway that left before the one we got on WAS EVEN MORE FULL! and it looked like there was no room but here's the crazy part, PEOPLE STILL TRIED TO SHOVE THEMSELVES IN! and the crazier part was that SOMEHOW THEY FIT! one guy squeezed his behind into the subway but his arms and legs were still sticking out so he spread his arms and legs to span the doorway and
pushed himself in! bahahaha wow! i was soooo surprised lol

anyway, the temple was so awesome to go into the korean session! cuz all the english missionaries went into the english one and there wasn't enough room so they had me go into the korean session and i loved it! :) and Pres 송 (the temple president i think) and his counselor Pres 홍 say hi daddy!

so this past week was a bit cold but it didn't matter because you know why??!!! I GOT MY FIRST PHONE NUMBER DURING STREET 전도ING! yeeeeee! seriously, it was the best feeling ever! so the cold was kind of an after thought lol it was this cute girl who's a super nice high school student and she was interested in learning more about the english program! so we're going to let her know when the next class is :) it was soooo cool :)

and we also added a new investigator! she's just finishing up high school and my companions found her 전도ing by some apartments and she's got such an open heart and mind! we kind of got to know her and then we started talking about religion and i thought maybe that would scare her a bit but she was so cool about it! she was cool with beginning and closing with prayer and she wanted to meet again so we have another appointment with her! seriously, Heavenly Father prepares his children to receive the gospel! they are all around us! :)

oh and teaching english class has been a blast! daddy, helping out at the monterey korean school really prepped me for this! so thanks for letting me do that with you and mommy! it's been a huge blessing! we have so many kids in our class! there are members' kids and we also have some investigators coming too! :)

i love korea. i love being a missionary. i love this gospel. it is so perfect. Christ did everything for us so that we can return to our Heavenly Father. all we have to do is try our best to change to be better. and as we continue following Christ, we are promised that we can "inherit the kingdom of God." (3 nephi 11:33) inherit. like receive EVERYTHING He has. and He has everything. like lasting and eternal happiness. what an awesome deal, yeah? :)

have a great week! love you all!
