happy new year!
christmas and new years here in korea was great! we ate the usual new years food, rice cake soup. really good! this week was really good! we met with yang jae hong again and had some really really good lessons with him. we are still teaching about the plan of salvation and talked to him about the atonement this week. the lesson we had with him really seemed to be led by the spirit. he asked what happened after christ died, so we talked about the Resurrection and his visit to america. we turned to 3 Nephi ch 11 where christ comes and he is just flipping through the pages and finds verse 38 which talks about us repenting, being baptized, and becoming like little children in order to go to heaven. he said "this is an important sentence" in english haha we asked him how that sounded to him and he said it was good. we felt prompted to ask him to be baptized on the 25th of january but he said he never thought about getting baptized. he said he will think about it and pray about it. the spirit was so strong in that lesson, it seemed impossible for him to find that small verse, but after he did and we talked about it, it led to talking about baptism. that was a really big testimony builder for me about the power of the spirit, how it can touch lives without them recognizing it. the next time we met, we finished the plan of salvation and he really liked the 3 kingdoms of glory. he said because we believe in the 3 kingdoms our church is very charitable towards everyone. he said because of that, this church is now "his church". we again talked about baptism and he said he doesnt know for sure yet, but he is leaning towards getting baptized. the feelings we had and the way he is progressing right now really make missionary work worth while. this week me and my companion have made some more personal goals to be more humble, be more uplifting and really trying everything we can to help our investigators. overall wonderful week!
