[ EPIC WEEK TO SAY THE LEAST :) ]

WOW! I can't believe what a week we had here in Bu-Cheon. Just unbelieveable to me. We really are seeing the fruits of our hard labor here over the last 4 months or so. The area has really been coming to life. Just incredible how the Lord has His hand in this work.

I don't even know where to begin to tell you of the miracles we've seen. I'll begin with one that started about 2 months ago. So I don't know if you remember, but about 2 months ago I met a lady who called out to us by our name, I ended up giving her a Book of Mormon and since we were super sweaty she wanted to buy us ice cream. I was never able to get her number. Well I ran into her on the street like 3 or 4 times since then. Then one morning I saw her and I totally blew it. It just was like awkward. Kind of like a hello but I dunno it just was awkward hahah. So right after we walked away I turned to my comp and told him how next time I get the opportunity to see her I will get her number and set up an appointment. Well sure enough, later that VERY SAME DAY, as we were getting out of another persons car, boom there she was!! I was shocked to say the least, but I went right up to her and got her number and set an appointment. We met again this last Saturday and the lesson was unreal! She took notes the whole time and accepted what we call a soft baptismal commitment so easily. We have another appointment tonight :) Her name is Oh-Hyay-Young.

Another miracle happening here this week is with Oh-Seung-Hee. She is just soo awesome :) She came to church again this week! And sorry I tried to get a picture with her but she said she doesn't like pictures hahaha but she said to tell you hi for her. I will just get a picture with her at the baptism ;) Well I just blew the big surprise ahha. Yes she has accepted a baptismal commitment for the 21st of this month! Her daughter also accepted, but there is just a little problem. There is like a rule that they have to come to church at least 3 times before they can get baptized and she can't make it right now, so I will talk with the mission president about this. Her daughter's name is Lee-Sue-Jeen, or Sarah. Sister Oh will be joining us at General Conference on sunday.

And for the last HUGE miracle of the week. The 3 kids. This week we were just out contacting at one of our normal spots and two kids were walking so I said hi to them. We chatted and I invited them to our church on saturday for some ping pong and to show them a video introducing our church. They agreed. This is kinda common, but usually ended with a fake number or them punking. Well this is a little better story than that. They showed up Saturday and actually ended up bringing a friend too. We hung out for a little then watched the DVD, The Restoration. They watched very intently and liked it. At the end they all accepted a soft baptism and agreed to church the next day. Sure enough right as sacrament meeting started the three of them walked through the door! We should be meeting this week and eating ramon and sharing a little more about our church.

So at church this week we had 5 poeple there and our ward just loved us hahaha. We really are working our tails off and are seeing the success from that. I know that all of this is becuase He is right here in the work. I would be nothing without Him in this. There is no question about that. I look forward to hearing what He has to say to the world next week. It's weird that it will be my last one as a missionary. I don't understand how that is even possible haha.

Well family, I love you all. Take care. Til next week... :)
