Tongyoung: Dawn of WWIII

HELLLLOOO!! This week has been fabulous! Super fun, super blessed,super successful, super busy and kind of stressful! So yeah an average week on my mission! The only part of this week that has been a little unnatural was this morning when I woke up to a text saying due to recent activity with north Korea, please prepare for a potential evacuation. We had to double check all of our 72 hour kits and review your evacuation plans. haha then i got a call from my district leader explain somewhat what happened! But don't worry President Hinckley told South Korea that as long as worthy members are attending the temple he promised the people of South Korea that they will not go to war with North Korea! So missionaries are literally saving the country of Korea from war! Haha except everyone is going less active! There are 80,000 members in Korea but only 10,000 active.... so we got to stop that! 

Anyways this week has been super superb! First off it was super busy due to preparation for our Easter Party! The members didn't want to do much help in preparing it so they gave all the responsibility to 4, 19 year old kids to do all the work. So we had to cook a huge last supper meal, of fish, unleavened bread ( I made that), Greek yogurt, fruit, nuts, berries, grape juice, cheese, and other stuff. 

What we did is we wanted to experience Christ lasts week. So we walked in the church and had palm leaves in the entrance and were showing the bible video of Christ walking into Jerusalem. then we went upstairs and had a table with the last supper on it and read from the bible, after we watched the bible video of the last super. Then we went to the atonement room and watched the atonement and then finished int the Resurrection room and watched prince of peace then bore testimony.

Next is our investigator who is Chinese. We met him on Tuesday and taught him the restoration. We used a pamphlet in Chinese and one in English. Because he cant speak Korean or really great English, we let the pamphlet teach and we ask questions. Then we met him at church yesterday, and he came to all 3 hours. During the 2nd hour we taught him the 3rd lesson, gospel of Jesus Christ, he really wanted to get baptized because he wanted to follow Christ. We extended a Baptism invitation for the 30th and he said yes. We are not sure he understands exactly what the entails so this Tuesday we are going to make sure he understands! He is super awesome and super prepared.  

This week has been super awesome! I have learned that the Atonement doesn't only affect our sins, but everything. This week was super stressful but when I focused on Christ and let him guide me I received so much peace from the Prince of Peace! I love you all so much! Make sure you read the Book of Mormon every day and you will receive blessing from on high!
