pretty cool week we had in jinhae this week! so elder Ringwood of the north asia presidency came to our mission on wednesday and had mission tour! this was the second mission tour in just a short while! He will also be speaking next weekend in our stake conference so that should be good. ah he is an amazing man, so filled with the spirit and filled with so much love. i forgot to bring my notes with me today but ill try to share some of the things that i learned. We talked a lot about how the scripture stories have the same principles as today and how we can compare our lives to theirs. In 1 nephi chapter one it talks about lehi praying, receiving a vision, seeing christ and the 12 apostles, receiving a book, preaching to the people, and the people wanting to kill him. Elder Ringwood showed us how this first chapter, the chapter that every member reads and rereads over and over, relates almost exactly to Joseph smith and his story. also in alma maybe chapter 17? it talks about missionary work and the sacrifices weve made as missionaries to come here and serve the lord. How great is our calling! When we talked about these patterns in the scriptures and today's situation, i really thought about how the lord is the same yesterday today and forever. how He works and deals with men in general. I know He loves us so much. We didnt teach too many lessons this week, and our investigators seem to be falling off a little bit, we need to work better, but i know he loves all of us as His children. He wants the best for us, so He sent His son Jesus Christ for all of us. With His help we can do all things. elder Ringwood also brought us to a scripture in Moses, i believe, where it talks about making us as strong as might water if we put our trust in Him. If you think about Tsunamis or other natural disasters, you can see how strong might water can be. I know Heavenly Father can make us strong if we remember who we are and put our trust in Him. Talk to you you next week everyone! love you all.
