wow you looked so gorgeous jee!!! and the Drake's yard looks great!!! minhee and leash, thanks for all those pictures!!! i'm going to develop them so i can use them during BRT with my investigators!! :D I can't wait to see more when i get home! :D
so guess what? we had transfers and i'm now in my new area and it's a place called 홍제 (Hong Jae). and it just so happens to be in the Seoul Stake. and it happens to be the closest sisters' area to 서대문 which happens to be where 할머니 할아버지 are! lol i had no idea it was so close! So last week, we went streetboarding and 전도ing as a zone at Sodaemun and it was so funny walking by 할머니's neighborhood! bahaha anyway, my new area is great. it has just tons of hills so i'll have nice healthy calves after i'm done here :) we went up a hill to visit a less active my first day her and yep i felt 호제's welcome in my legs! We have investigators but i haven't met them all yet so i'm looking forward to that this coming week.
my new companion is sister 김유희 and she this is her 3rd transfer and this is her greenie area! She's super fun and she works hard and catches on real fast so it's been great! i do kind of miss my old house because this one is a little...old haha but it's not bad! the weather here's been great. 36 degrees in our house but no mosquitos! :D We've been doing a lot of door knocking/ 가가호호 but you know what? the first day we were doing it, this random lady said "i don't want to hear you talk about your church! but it's hot. come on in." it was sister kim's first time getting through a door during door knocking and so she was super excited! this lady was a member and leader of like a relief society type organization of some other church! but she was so nice and she gave us drinks (배즙) because it was so hot! she and her friends were working on decorating fans with pressed flowers so that was so neat to see too! there are some mean people out in the world but there are also super nice ones too like her! yay for nice people :D
on sunday, we went to our ward and turns out quite a few people know 할머니할아버지! and the bishop (유종욱b) here was daddy's friend when he first got baptized 27 years ago! small small world :) anyway, we met one of our investigators on sunday and it he's really really logical so it's hard for him to accept things because he always questions things and considers everything a good theory. and he said that he has too much pride so he can't use his agency to do what he wants to do like follow our commitments! i was like "wow, this guy has some tough concerns!" and then it was the COOLEST THING EVER. i saw oh so clearly in my mind a verse i read in Alma a few weeks ago about Alma going out to reactivate those who fell away from the church. He says that in order to get rid of the pride of the people, he would use two things: the word of God and pure testimony. and i remembered where it was in the scriptures right then and when i shared that with him and said that as he keeps meeting with us, we can share the word of God and our pure testimonies to help him get rid of his pride, he accepted the answer real well!! what's funny is that even right now, i don't remember the chapter or verse it was that i used! but right when i needed that verse, i just SAW IT IN MY MIND! wow. bravo spirit!!! man i am just so grateful that Heavenly Father is using someone as imperfect as ME to bring to pass His great work!
thought of the week: i'm reading in Alma 49 about how Moroni fortified the weak cities of Ammoniah and Noah and the Lamanites were like whoaaaa! and they got super scared and shocked at how much preparation Moroni did in strengthening the weak spots. and then not one Nephite soul was lost in the battle! prepared people really see miracles. so siter kim and i are going to be as prepared as we can be so we can see miracles while we're together :)
i love this work. and i love you all! congrats jee!!!!
sister cho :)
