today was transfer day and so we just got settled in, i am staying in my area and i got a new companion! his name is kim dae yun! haha almost the same as our less active friend kim dae hun. He is very funny and I heard he is a hard worker too! so thats good! Right now its about 5:30 so I really dont have a ton of time. We have been busy today because of transfer meeting and then getting all of his stuff situated. This week was ok, we met on saturday with Vicky, Julie, and her husband mr yu. We did a lot of free talking, they asked me questions about america and we just talked for awhile about whatever they wanted to. For some reason Julie always says that she wants her kids to grow like me, and might bring her kids next week so I can talk to them... kinda weird? haha Her kids are very rowdy and dont obey very well so she wants to try anything to help them i guess. After she said that, Vicky asked me what the turning point in my life was so I told her about how I started to love the gospel when I was about 17 years old. Loving the gospel has helped me to feel God's love and purpose for my life. before that, i always tried to find happiness through other ways, but couldn't. Once I learned to love this gospel, I was much happier and realized what important things in life are. They couldn't meet for very long and we weren't able to give a message so we gave them homework to read an article from the liahona about standards and how they can help us. It was cool to see vicky smiling so much when we gave her homework, because I always remember the first time meeting them and how much she hated when we would talk about gospel related topics. I think she is starting to change very slowly. Julie told us again how she wants to believe in god but doesnt know if she can. We always ask her to pray to find out but she says shes "not ready yet". Gah! haha weve told her before the only way to know is through action (prayer) but she is just scared I think...
we werent able to meet with Kim dae hun this week, he was very busy and didnt have time. we talked with brother Yi about modern day prophets and shared President Monsons talk from this past general conference. He couldnt really understand because his hearing is very bad but he got most of it. He is so awesome and love that guy! Ill let you all know how my new companion is next week! thank you!
