so this past week we went to the temple and it was fabulous! and our district is great :)
on saturday, 금천2 ward had their young womens new beginnings meeting and the YW president asked me to speak on personal progress and so i was worried that i wouldn't be able to say everything i wanted to say in the way that i could say it in english--but guess what? i was totally able to say everything in korean EXACTLY the way i would have in English! so i wasn't 답답해 like i sometimes am when i speak gospel korean. it was awesomeeeee. yay for the Spirit who can help us do things that we can't do by ourselves!!! and i was able to think about personal progress and how awesome it is! so minhee, keep it up miss, kay? you're doing great :D
yesterday was a crazy sunday because this investigator (who we didn't expect to come to church cuz she's only interested in speaking english) came to sacrament meeting! this work really is the Lord's work. because we never guessed that out of all the people we're meeting, she'd be the one to come!
also, there's this 10 year old girl who we're teaching and she only lives with her dad and her dad's gone all the time so she has no manners and is quite rude to the other church kids and she doesn't have a long attention span so when we try and teach her she always interrupts with random questions and goes off on tangents. so we were
really having a hard time with her but she came to church yesterday and wanted to sit by me; so to tell you the truth, i was kinda scared because i don't like being strict/the mean person telling people to be quiet and stuff. but i decided to sit with her anyway (after i said a prayer in my heart of course! :P) her hair was a mess because she does everything herself and her dad doesn't really care. so before sacrament meeting started, i french braided her hair with my hair tie and bobby pins and she LOVED IT. i didn't think it was that big of a deal because mommy, you did it for me ALL THE TIME and taught me how to french braid. but i guess it meant so much to her because she
doesn't have a mom. and she just beamed. and she just walked around with a huge smile on her faceeee because all the other kids noticed and said they wanted their hair like that too! and during sacrament meeting, she sat quietly drawing pictures on a paper instead of being roudy like she normally is. i like cried in my heart, if that makes any sense! i felt so much love for her and felt so bad that something as simple as braiding her hair made her feel so much love. and then i thought of how loved i am by my awesome mommy. thank you so much for everything mommy! everything. from braiding my hair to 잔소리s. thank you for everythinggggg! you're the best!
enough of that mushy stuff. anyway, in a nutshell, life is great. and i am learning more than ever how to love people. the church is true. do missionary work everyone! that's our calling as it states in 3 Nephi 5:13 "Behold, i am a disciple of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I have been called of him to declare his word among his people, that they might have everlasting life."
