Well the day is almost here! It's almost Christmas!!!! I will be calling home in just 7 days! WOO!!!!
Anyways, we have had another busy week here in 금천 but it's been good. This morning we had to take superrrr cold showers because our hot water boiler wasn't working. Maybe it was just to help wake me up this morning. haha.
This week has been full of Less-Active visits. Our bishop has given us a huge project of visiting all the less-actives in the ward. A few weeks ago was stake conference and it was a broadcast from SLC with President Monson. He was really stressing the importance of bringing back the less-actives, hence this project. Anyways we have been walking all over our area trying to find these houses. Most people have either moved or their house doesn't exsist (knocked down and built apartment complexes.) However, we have been able to contact a few that are really nice people. Right now, there is one lady who wants to come to church, but her husband doesn't like our church and won't let her go. It's sad, but she is a really nice lady and maybe one day her husband will come around.
This Thursday we will be having a big Christmas Conference with all of the missionaries from the Seoul Mission. It should be really fun. I'm doing the opening prayer though, I'm a little nervous. Becuase of this conference, we will be having p-day after from 3-9! sweettt.
I don't know if you guys heard, but the President of North Korea died! Kind of crazy!!!! I am not sure what exactly will happen, but I hope that South Korea/U.S. trys to do something to keep his son from taking over.
Sort of weird, but there is this one girl in 금천 2 ward who is now here for winter break from BYU and guess what. I taught her one time at TRC in the MTC. It was way weird seeing her again, but actually being able to speak to her and understand. I thought it was pretty random.
Our investigator 김미량 (Kim - Me - Ryang) is not progressing too much right now. She is having a tough time recognizing that she is feeling the Spirit. She isn't quite sure what a "good feeling" is. We have a lesson set up with her for tomorrow and we are going to have a newly married couple from our ward come with us. I really hope that it helps re-spark her interest. I think we will be watching the DVD Finding Faith in Christ.
We have been working hard to find new investigators, but we haven't quite found the prepared yet. We have met with a couple of new people, but they just aren't interested yet. They have Book of Mormons, which is good, but they don't want to meet again as of now.
Last night was awesomeeee!! I got to go to the year end music event for Seoul with our recent convert 이동구. My favorite part was of course the chirstmas music. It made me feel right at home. I was LOVIN it. haha. There was a very special spirit in the room.
Well, Merry Christmas to all of you. I am so grateful for our Savior Jesus Christ. I am grateful to be in the service of Him. I love Him and His work so very much. I testify to you that He lives. This is His church. The truth is on the Earth today.
I love you guys sooo much. I hope that you are spreading the Christmas cheer to everyone. ^^ Have an EPIC Christmas week. MERRY CHRISTMAS!
