we had transfers this past wednesday and sister park left for 인천 and i got a new companion and her name is sister hill. she's from virginia and she's been out for 9 months and she's so awesome! super fun and she works hard but doesn't get stressed which i absolutely love about her!
it's so funny when we go 전도 because everyone just stares at her because she's got blonde hair and she just says "hi!" and they all start giggling and stuff (especially the students here! hahaha it's so funny!) and the little children are so funny, they just flat out say "hey mom, look there is a foreigner there!! look look! her hair is blonde!" and they point and the moms get embarrassed hahaha but 전도ing has been more exciting because i'm with an american--well an american who looks american if that makes sense lol
and on saturday, we had 민지's baptism! it was so crazy cuz she's a little rough around the edges so she was a little roudy but it went well. the members could tell that it was hard teaching her because she has a really low attention span :P but it'll be great for her to continue growing and progressing in the church to become what Heavenly Father wants her to be :) but that was really rewarding to see her be baptized! lots of people brought her gifts and she said thank you to them-- which a few months ago, wouldn't have happened because she didn't know how to thank people. so it was great! but she didn't come to church on Sunday cuz she went to her aunt's house so she'll have to get confirmed next sunday :P
everything's great here and i love my new companion :D scripture for the week: mosiah 18:26 "...but for their labor they were to receive the GRACE of God" the foot note for grace says blessing, reward, wages. and i never thought about it (because this scripture is actually talking about the priests back then of the church that alma was able to helpe establish so i didn't think it had anything to do with me) but whatever we do in our lives, if we labor with all our heart might mind and strength, we can receive blessings temporally and spiritually :)
love you all :)
