yay the weather has been getting cooler! it used to be 36 in our house but now it's 31 yay!!! and some trees have started letting go of their leaves!! (not many but still! i love that it's getting cooler!)
so this past week has just flown by! it's been full of member 식사s and lots and lots of streetboarding! we streetboard with the zone every week on thursday and last week was 서대문 and this week it was 삼청! we streetboarded by some college so we talked to a lot of students! there's so much energy when we streetboard together because you really realize that there are so many missionaries all around the world doing the same thing we're doing all with the same purpose of inviting people to come unto Christ! we also had a lesson with an investigator whose sons are members but she's keeping close to the religion she's familiar with which is 천주교회. she's really nice and she made us 돈까스 last friday but we need to figure out how we can get her to open her heart; her heart is closed because she doesn't want to lose her friends she made at church. anyway, her little 10 year old son is so cute! he's a good example to his mom because he is truly converted. like when we were teaching he wanted his mom to say the prayer but she wouldn't so he whinned a little and she still wouldn't so he said, "ahhh, fine mom. this time i'll say it. and you listen carefully and learn how i pray and then you have to pray next time, okay?!" and he prayed like he was writing a journal, it was so cute! he said "Heavenly Father, the missionaries came over while mom was making food and mom looked through sister cho's photo album and my brother showed sister kim his beetle collection. please bless the food. in the name of jesus christ amen." so so cute! :D i hope we can help his mom know what the solid sons know :)
so there aren't a ton of members in this new ward. all the members are solid! but especially cuz this week was 휴가 everyone was gone on vacation. so usually we teach primary at church but i taught the young women this past sunday and it went great! it was real fun and i truly gained a deeper appreciation for such solid fellow young women and solid leaders like sister lund, sister lemmon and sister davidson and all the other amazing monterey ward leaders!!! it's so great how as missionaries, we are being "used" by Heavenly Father in all sorts of ways in addition to the way that i thought missionaries would be asked to do missionary work! Sister kim and i are really enjoying it :)
thought for the day comes from President Uchtdorf's talk "Waiting on the road to Damascus." He talks about how sometimes, we just wait for things/miracles to happen to us that will strengthen our faith or we wait for experiences that Joseph Smith or Saul had. he said sometimes we wait for a whole painting of Christ to be given to us, but instead we are given puzzle pieces that we can, over time, piece together/ strengthen our faith! we can't just wait, we have to keep working and before we know it, we can have the solid testimonies that we so desire. There were a bunch of great quotes but i can't remember them off the top of my head so read it if you have time! :)
love you all!
