yeah i am sure getting a boy ready is so much
cheaper haha all the permission stuff was so expensive and then even
while you are on your mission you still spend money on clothes because
you hate the clothes you wear all the time. at least for elders all they
have to worry about is ties haha except lots of elders here spend lots
of money on ties haha
This week has been good!
we had Zone conference this past week and i learned alot.one thing my
mission president wants the mission to work on is our language skills
because a mission as a whole we arent doing very well so they talked a
lot about that this conference. so one thing they challenged us to do is
make a new language study plan and actually use it (i had one from my
first transfer and never used it...) and they changed our language study
to an hour for this transfer only!! so i did that this week and it has
been great! just in the past week i have seen a big improvement in my
korean! i wish i had been studying like that my whole mission! we had an
appointment this past week with a member from another mission because
she wanted to refer her son in laws cousin to us (and she needed a
translator because the girl is from france and speaks little korean) so
we went to lunch with them on Saturday and i was actually able to help
translate what the member was saying to the french girl and then what
she would say back. and a lot of the words they used were words i had
just studied this past week. so had i not listened to my mission
president and tried harder at studying i would have missed out on the
chance! the girl was really sweet. she didnt know she was going to be
meeting us when she came to the lunch. she thought it was going to be
just the member but you could tell she was glad we were there to help
both of them. we were able to talk to her a little about the church and
how it started, and we walked over to the temple to show and talk a
little about it. i dont know how interested she was but she was
listening! she said she would love to meet us again and go grab some
food sometime. we dont think she wants to meet us for the gospel part
more as friends but we have to start somewhere right?!
i
loved General Conference so much! yeah i was able to watch it in
English the set up a room for the English speakers to be able to watch
it. my poor companion watched the first two sessions in English but the
last two sessions she was able to watch in Korean. Nicole one of our
recent converts was my companion for one of the sessions and then
another sister in the ward from Europe was my companion for the other
session so that way my companion could actually understand everything
that was said. it was such a neat thing to see President Nelson be
sustained as the new prophet. i dont remember all that well when
president monson was sustained so that was really neat. i was able to
have a lot of prayers answered through conference, so i hope all of you
did as well!
we have found a few new people
this past week, but we havent meet with them yet, we have appointments
with them all this week, so we are hoping some have more then just
english interest!
our mission this transfer is
also working on giving baptismal commitments so starting April 10th
everyday we have to at least give one to either an investigator or
practice with a member to become more comfortable at giving them,
because to be honest i am not very good at it since all our
investigators are English interest only, and i am scared that i will
make them feel to much pressure and then hate missionaries all together.
but as we practice this week i think ii will be able to learn how to do
it without making them feel any pressure! so i am excited to work on
that!!!
well i love you so much!!!!!!
