this week was a good week in daemyoung, this week we were able to meet again with brother yun haegn! it was a really good lesson, we taught about the plan of salvation. as we talked about how the plan was made for our eternal happiness, he really started to feel the truthfulness of it. he said that when he learned about the restoration everything made sense and he understood everything in his mind, but he said he feels like he is learning within his heart, not his mind. he told us about how he trusts us and opened up a little bit more to us. he was in jail for a little while of his life and once he got out, he started to look for God and wanted to change his life around. we asked what his life purpose was and he said that he wanted to give lots of money to charities and be able to help them out haha but then he explained that when he helps people, especially when it is a big sacrifice to him, it makes him feel happy. we talked about how the plan is made for our happiness and we can feel that for eternity. he accepted it very well and the feeling in the room was very tender. he actually came to church this week and stayed for sacrament! it will be exciting to meet with him again this next week! that was the main highlight of the week. today we went to costco (my 2nd time in korea) and ate at the food court. also me and another missionary bought a big box of mozzarella cheese sticks so we'll see how that goes... haha love you!

hello everyone,
this week was a pretty good week in daemyoung. so this week as i spent almost the whole week eating costco foods like cheese sticks, steak, sugared cereal, muffins, and kettle chips i felt sick almost everyday after eating them haha i cant go back to the US... ill be done for! so this week Yun Haegn was busy with different things like his family and heading out of town for a few days so we werent able to meet with him for this week. he did come to our english class on saturday but had to leave quickly because of an appointment with his friend... but we met with brother hong woo shik this week and he is having a hard time right now. he really wants to know about god these days, and he will start meeting with the other elders every week. he will also start coming to church after about 2 weeks where he will be out of town. man.. he just doesnt seem to have a lot of hope in his life. when we talked, he said all he wanted was a feeling that God was there. he said he never felt it. It was really sad hearing that, because we tried to explain that feelings of peace and warmth are from God, but he wants a firm "god exists" kind-of feeling. we testified that god loves him and wants him to recognize these feelings. it was a very humbling experience realizing what i know from personal experience and seeing someone else not have that same experience. im glad to know that god loves us and that he exists :) because of that, im able to serve a mission and have even more experiences like this! so thankful! love you mom and dad
