This
week was good! Since our mission president is going to Japan this week for a
mission president meeting, this week was really busy with meeting. Zone training on Wednesday, a follow up meeting
for all the new missionaries on Tuesday, a Thursday p-day, and exchanges on
Monday. Sorry that was not at all in order... but you get the
idea. So lots of riding buses and subways! There were all good meetings! I am
making some good changes! Another cool change is that our president made it a
rule to sing hymns in the shower. So that is interesting and good!!
On Tuesday, we met
with the couple that is doing the English program. They read Alma 32. And just
asked good questions. So we talked about how we want them to know for
themselves. And asked if they want to see if our seed has fruits. They said it
would probably take time but that they are willing to plant the seed if you
will. That was great. Then on Saturday
we had a meeting with the guy who came to church last week. He is super nice
guy probably in his 60s. He said our church feels very family oriented and that
we are very different from other Korean churches. We taught the restoration,
and said we wanted him to get an answer himself. We set a goal for a baptismal
date for Christmas eve. He asked if he could get an answer that fast and we
said yes so he is moving forward with that goal. He also brought a Book of
Mormon he received from a missionary 10 years ago. He too will read Alma 32 and will hopefully
make some good progress. We asked the recent convert if his son would be
interested in learning about our church. He had us ask him. So we did and he
said yes. When they came, the son and daughter came! We are reviewing the lessons with the father
while teaching the children. It is great. The son, is the cutest kid ever. He
didn't used to believe in God, but he said he now does. When he first came to
church, during the sacrament he felt a sudden peace, so he now believes in God.
Both kids said they want to get baptized so we set another baptism goal for
them on December 10th. It was just an
amazing Saturday!
Sunday was stake
conference and we met one potential investigator and his sister, and introduced
our English program and gave them a book of Mormon. Miracles are happening! :)
Spiritual thought for
the week- I have been reading Matthew and just finished. Reading the gospels,
you would have a really hard time understanding Christ's atonement and really
his whole purpose. That comes through apostles, and prophets explaining and
expounding. I the rest of the new testament, old testament, in the
book of Mormon and from modern prophets and apostles. So just we are so blessed
to have people still teaching and expounding upon the live and words of
Christ!!
