yes last week was my year mark! ugh... time really does go by too fast. I remember when i was in my 1st transfer and i went on exchanges with elder campbell. I remember asking him how long he's been on his mission and he said about a year. it seemed like one year would never come but it came faster than i couldve thought... everyone says the second year goes by faster but i sure hope thats a lie.. haha darn. as far as last week goes, our new investigator, dave, dropped us and said that he doesn't really want to learn about god anymore. If he wants to learn about god later, he will call us. that was a really special moment in my mission, honestly. My companion and i started from square one and explained about the nature of god and his love for us. after we talked and he told us he didnt want to learn more, i just kept thinking to myself about how this gospel has helped me and how it could help him. nothing too special happened, just a "testimony builder" kind of feeling came over me and i thought about how this gospel REALLY CAN help every single person who accepts it. It was sad to see, but he used his agency for himself and im sure he'll be back to learn someday!
our other investigator brother Whang didnt meet with us this week. We tried calling him like he told us too and said that he will call us later. he told us not to call and he will have us over again later. hopefully it all works out with him.
on sunday the sister missionaries had an investigator and her son come to church for the first time. the ward did a great job with fellowshipping them and i think the son really felt welcomed and liked coming to church! our ward members are so awesome.
well, as ive served my mission for just over a year now, ive never really had much progressing investigators or a ton of people to meet with, but i know my testimony has definitely strengthed and the message i get to share each day is true. through our actions, other people are blessed and i can see that everyday. im so thankful to be in korea for the next year! have a great week everyone, talk to you soon!
