As
for last week, we have been searching for new investigators and God has
really blessed us this week to begin finding. We especially are excited
to keep meeting the man we met on the street a couple of weeks ago that
I think I mentioned in my last letter. He goes by O.B. Kim as his
english name. He's a pretty funny cool guy, but the best part is that he
has opened his heart to seek the opportunity to change and improve his
life. He's pretty wealthy and has lots of time but I think he's
beginning to realize that he's not really happy and he thinks he might
be able to find it here. (He's right!!!) Please keep him in your
prayers!
We
had a funny little experience in our apartment the other day. One of
our members was clearing out some food in their house and gave us a few
leftovers, one of which was a little container of Hershey's Cocoa (100%
Unsweetened ^^). Our beloved Korean Elder who lives in the same house as
us, Elder Won, was pretty excited when he saw it and said he'd have to
try it later. I asked him if he knew what it really was and he said, "Of
course! Cocoa!" So I left it at that. A few days later, as my companion
and I were finishing planning, he came over to me with the container in
his hand and said, "Elder, this stuff is super gross!!" Haha we got a
kick out of it. He tried to eat it like hot chocolate and wasn't too
impressed ^^
For
P-day today, we had a really cool opportunity to go on a tour of one of
the historic cities near Daejeon. My favorite part of the tour was the
ancient Korean fortress with a big stone wall that winded up and down
the hills around the area. We were able to walk around the perimeter and
I felt like I was in Mulan. It was pretty neat. I'm getting pretty low
on time, but I'll try to send at least one picture or two.
In
our efforts to find investigators this week, there were countless
situations where thing just worked out in ways they really shouldn't
have. We just seemed to be in just the right place at just the right
time with just the right people far too often to label it mere
coincidence. I KNOW that God exists and that He is undeniably guiding
this work and our individual lives. I KNOW that He witnesses of His
existence, His love, and the truthfulness of His restored Gospel through
the spirit. I can never deny the witness of the Spirit that Jesus is
the Christ, that He did atone for our sins, and that all of our efforts
to follow Him and help others do the same are 100% worth it 100% of the
time. I love and am so grateful for each one of you! Have a wonderful
week!
