this week was a really good week in the korea busan mission! lets start off with the bad news... so our investigator brother Jun Tuk Chun met with us this past week and we talked about eternal families and why they are so important in our lives. originally we had planned to invite him to be baptized at the end of march but something just wasnt right. we continued to talk and then as he was talking about his progress he's made he said that he doesnt want to come to church or try to pray because he doesnt have that much faith, and then he left after that... dang. that was a tough one. ive been praying very hard for him the past couple of days and i fasted for him this past week. he was really making some progress until recently and then very gently dropped us in my opinion. after that lesson i was pretty sad that had happened and realized how much i love him even though we didnt meet too often. also, this past week as we met with members and recent converts weve been talking about happiness. we always asked the question "when are you most happy?" and we got a variety of answers but when my companion and i really thought about it, the best times are when we can share this gospel with other people and the blessings that come from living this gospel. Recently ive just been thinking about how this gospel has really blessed my life. a scripture that is used a lot Mosiah 2:41 came to mind. very simply it says to consider the blessed and happy state of those that keep the commandments of God. And it really is that simple! Only through this gospel can we be truly happy, and as a missionary ive really felt that and know that is true. ahhh... i really thought brother Jun would progress more, maybe he will! i dont know, but i pray that he can realize that through jesus christ and this gospel he can be truly happy. please pray for him! thank you! love you all have a great week.
