Week 88

hello! we got early permission to leave this morning because we are going to a aquarium in a different city for p day! looking forward to it. as for this week it was really good. i was having a hard time the past couple weeks but now it seems a little bit better. honestly the situation is the exactly same, but i took this week with a new, postive attitude and it made all the difference. we still dont have any new investigators, we found a few new people to come to english class, but maybe no gospel interest. we went to busan on friday to have MLCM meeting for all the zone leaders and sister training leaders. we hiked up a mountain and talked on the way up. at the top of the mountain we listened to a talk by the assistants which was really great. He seemed a little nervous doing it in korean but the spirit that was there made up the difference. He talked about how through christ, we can do anything. We are living a "similar" life to savior, in the sense that we teach with some who listen and a lot who reject the truth. always following his example will help us to be more successful missionaries and be able to be like him. I also came across this scripture this week which brought me a lot of peace and comfort!

Jacob 3:1 " But behold, I, Jacob, would speak unto you that are pure in heart. Look unto God with firmness of mind, and pray unto him with exceeding faith, and he will console you in your afflictions, and he will plead your cause, and send down justice upon those who seek your destruction."

This week has been a lot of patience and prayers with the Lord doing exactly what this scripture teaches when it says He will "console you in your afflictions". it seemed like really bad situations turned into good ones, bad feelings turned into good. learned a lot this week and am excited for next week! love you mom and dad!

Week 86, 87

hello,

hey thats good you are feeling better dad, im glad. ya i am planning to go to byu idaho again. I dont know a ton of people going, so just whatever apartment and some good classes if you could. is there something i can help you with or will you just do it? thank you dad! as far as my time in jeju, its been pretty good. my companion is still struggling with the thoughts of going home and being trunky. Me and him were able to talk aobut how hard we were working and it seemed to help him pick up the pace a little but then it slowly went away after a few days and is still a struggle. I feel like I want to work together with him and am waiting for him, but since he doesnt want to work i have wasted some time as well. this week i feel like the best thing i can do is be a good example to him by working with or without him, always trying to include him. this has been a tough transfer so far but i feel good right now. i feel like i have a better mindset and know exactly what i want to do! this week should be good! Ive learned through a lot of different experiences that doing things the "Lord's way" versus "my way" or the way someone wants to do it. especially being a missionary, if you dont work, you arn't happy. im so thankful that the lord blesses us through our efforts. I know He lives and he loves everyone! through showing my companion the Christ-like love he needs we will be able to work well together! we will see what happens, thank you mom and dad for everything. talk to you soon!
