잘 지내셨죠?!
This has been a wonderful week! I love Spring!! I love Korea!! I love being a missionary!
On
Sunday, there was a lesson about the resurrection and we were all asked
what we think of when we think about resurrection. My favorite answer
was 봄 (aka Spring!). Spring is such a beautiful symbol of rebirth,
renewal, and of life. We all experience every variety of "winters" but
we have the ultimate promise that every winter will always be followed
with a spring, including death itself followed by the glorious promise
of a resurrection!!
Our
investigators are doing well. This is the last week before 조병수's baptism
and we are all just praying that he will be able to keep the word of
wisdom this week and be clean and prepared for baptism!!
I
don't have hardly any time, but one thought I have had recently is
related to Korean taxi drivers. We don't have cars or bikes and we take
taxis fairly often, sometimes because it's cheaper with 4 people
together and sometimes just because we need to get around fast. As we
strike up a conversation, we often ask them how their job as a taxi
driver is and how they like it. The majority of people we talk to say
that it is miserable and there is nothing good about it, but there are
some people who seem to just love what they do and have plenty of good
to say about driving a taxi. It is the same job! Same city! Taxi drivers
have a pretty hard job here in Korea, but somehow there are some people
who know how to make the most of it!
Recently
I have thought a lot about how important it is to just have a positive
perspective. It's so important to make the most of each phase of life
while we've got it!! Love the people! Be grateful! Live and learn! Serve
others! Serve the Lord! See and love all that is good and glorious
about life! I can promise it's there when we look for it with the hope
of the gospel and with the eye of faith! I am so grateful for the
opportunity I have to preach this gospel. I know that it is true!!
I love you all! Have a wonderful week!
Love, Elder Tolman
PS:
My Bishop made me promise I would send this picture home to prove that
they took good care of me on my birthday. They are the best!
(It was mine and also another one of our member's birthday dinner)
