Dear Family,
Now it is just the two of us in the house. Me
and Elder Perry. I like it. There is probably less talking and stuff, which is
to be expected with less people, but we can focus a lot more! Elder Perry gets
a little stressed sometimes with Korean and everything, so we are setting some
good companionship goals and district goals. We talked about being accountable
to each other within the district, but we didn't have really any good ideas of
how to be accountable to each other. Ideas?
We played soccer and basketball! And
technically I am the DL right now, Elder Cowles was, but he went home so I am
now. And the ZL's we text and call mainly. We had zone training this week as
well. And went on exchanges with them
This week was pretty rough
as far as numbers go, but it was a good building week. We have some good
potentials! Plus we met with Adam, who said he just feels really calm and good
when he is with missionaries and at church. So he has a lot of potential. We
taught him most of the restoration and will finish next time, and give him a
baptismal date. Then there is a kid in the ward who wasn't baptized at 8 I
guess, so we will have to teach the discussions there as well. Plus we have a
Chinese investigator named Han Je Sung. There is an awesome recent convert in
Yeoung Dong Po who is Chinese, and he just finished his semester so he can help
us teach. So hopefully this next week we will have more lessons and
everything.
So you might ask how we spent our time this week. Well is was super fun... Our ward mission leader gave us a list of less actives and asked us to go confirm their addresses (Korean's move a lot, so it seems kind of pointless to me). So we spend most of our free time walking around trying to find addresses without smart phones with a super confusing system that is now changed to a new address system. So that is fun. Although it really is just time street proselyting which I really don't mind at all. I like walking around Korea trying to talk to people and everything.
So our basic day: we have
studies and normally one other scheduled thing like district meeting, English
class, soccer, weekly planning, etc. Then for the rest of the time we try to
find people. That is basically what we do!
So my spiritual thoughts
this week ended up focused on prayer. I was thinking about how I could feel the
spirit more and just improve as a person. I fasted about what I need to
improve. Ultimately I read some scriptures that basically say if you pray you
will have the spirit. And so I studied about prayer. I realized my prayers are
not nearly what I think they should be. So I am trying to be more alert during
prayer and just express my thoughts and emotions more. Make it more unique from
day to day. Plus I always need to focus more on others! So just barely starting
that process of trying to have more sincere and powerful prayers, I realized
really does bring a sense of peace more and I think will over time invite the
spirit more fully into my life. So I am excited to try to get better at prayer!
Anyway I love you all.
Hurrah for Israel!
