Week 35

Hey everyone,

 

This week was awesome! We were able to meet again with those two old guys we met. The first, brother Ban Seong Jool we met with only once, but it went ok. We followed up on the commitment we gave him last time to pray in order to know if God exists and he did! but... he didn't recieve any answer and still doesnt know if God exists but he said he will continue to meet with us! Since he is really old, we want to help him have Hope. He doesnt have much hope for the future since he doesnt believe in god, he is blind, and is very old. We helped him understand our message's purpose, which is a message of hope! And what do we have hope in? Hope in the Lord Jesus Christ and His Atonement. As we explained the importance of the Savior I kept getting this overwhelming feeling and reconfirmation of how much our savior loves us. he suffered and died for all of us. I hope brother ban can understand that someday! we recommitted him to pray again, this time with real intent. the other old guy, brother han was adifferent story. as we met he told us that he read the pamphlet but he hasa big problem with joseph smith. his presbyterian faith is very strong and he doesnt agree with modern day prophets. he said that we have the bible and we dont need to know anything else. he told us that we ccant meet anymore and dropped us after we bore our testimonies of god and joseph smith. shoot... we might try again to visit him in the library once in awhile but not too often. sorry not a ton of time today, there is a huge cherry blossom festival in jinhae that lots of missionaries are coming to. may god bless you! have agreat week everyone! love you all.
