If any of you know the song "tear in my heart" by twentyone pilots the song starts out by singing an-yong-hasayo! Which is hello in korean! just by the way!
Wow so this has been a crazy!!! week! haha ummm where to start! Umm first of this was transfer week! And I thought that me and my companion were safe! haha my companion had a mental breakdown and.. well lets just say he is struggling taking care of himself let alone a trainy! so we got transferred! Umm the even CRAZIER news is... well lets just say I met my new TRAINER in the MTC!! haha My new trainer is elder youngblood! He finished his training 2 days ago and has only been here for 1 transfer longer than me! haha luckily he is SUPER good at the language, I have no idea how he is that good after 2 transfers! haha so i lucked out! He is a super cool kid and has a strong testimony! I am excited to learn from him! We are going to need to work really hard becuase of how new we both are but we will see a ton of miracles in this next transfer! I am really excited to work with him in seogwipo! Umm it is really funny! haha So seogwipo is the farthest area away from the mission home! haha And the youngest mission companionship is there! haha plus we are the only companionship on the whole south end of the island! haha We are going to see lots of miracles!
Umm what next... As far as missionary work we have proselyted a ton!! Had one guy try and pay us for a Book of Mormon and he seemed pretty interested but would never answer our calls or texts and had a couple of other close calls but nothing has stuck yet! I have faith that with the combined faith and hard work from me and Elder youngblood we can turn this area around and instead of being the hardest area in the mission we can make it one of the most succesful areas in the mission!
Ok next Wow i feel like alma, nephi (the later nephi), moroni and those prophets just because of how worldly seogwipo is! It is super sad! We cant walk down any street in the city without walking past at least 2-3 strip clubs, hook-up rooms, etc. It is so sad! Everyone here drinks and smokes from the early morning to the night! These people need this gospel so bad in there life's but they wont listen to us because they dont want to change! Lots of people will tell us they know they do lots of sins but they dont think they can be saved, even when we tell them they can! It is very frustrating!
Ummm ok my weekly miracles!
So last thursday we flew down to the mainland for half training meeting and we arrived back in our area at 8pm so we had 1 hour till we needed to be home and we hadnt ate dinner yet! but we decided that since we had no time to prosolyte that day we should prosolyte for the next hour and eat after 9. So we had more success than usual and like the 6th person we talked to asked us if we had ate yet so we said no then he told us to follow him took us into this fancy french pastry shop and spent like 30$ worth of pastries, bagles, and french bread for us! After we tried talking to him and he wouldnt even take a message card! he just quickly left! haha The lord blesses his missionaries when we sacrifice for him! there are scriptures all over that say dont worry about where you shall live where you shall eat or anything like that but we need to only worry about the work we are called to do and god will take care of the rest! I have a testimony that that is true!
Another miracle happened 3 days ago! I had 17$ for the rest of this week and i still needed to buy groceries and pay for travel fees going to busan and back a couple times (it was going to be 45$ in travel fees!) We were talking about it when my companion happened to look down and notice a 50,000 won (50$) on the side walk. Now it was really dark outside and pouring rain! Somehow he noticed this small piece of paper on the ground the coolest part is that it was pouring rain but my companion said the money was completely dry (even though it was lying on the wet ground) he said it didnt start to get wet until he picked it up and then i got a little wet from the rain! WOW what a miracle! I now have money to pay for everything i need, its gonna be tight but it will work out!
Ps we have nick named our area SOGGY-po because of how much it rains here! haha it has rained at least a little everyday for the past 3 weeks! haha
Love my mission so much! I love seeing gods hand in my life!
