This week has been super awesome. We have seen a ton of miracles recently. We went from having only two investigators at the beginning of the transfer, and since then we have been able to find 3 new ones! And the thing is we aren't getting lots of people to call and meet up with later but the ones we do meet are super prepared and have a good rate of turning into investigators.
On an exchange last week Elder Johnstun gave a name card to a man on the street who ended up actually calling the number, which is a super miracle, but we were able to meet him and his family at their house! First time I've been in an investigator's house other than Hamed back in Andong. We were able to talk a little bit about the gospel, and introduce the church. We also taught their 6 year old son and his friend English. It was super fun. We'll be meeting them next week and teaching them the message of the Restoration, and also English again!
We also had a Miryang Branch picnic. It was at 위양못 Wuiyang pond. The branch was super excited about it because there was a sister missionary that served in Miryang a long time ago that came back to visit. We ate 삼겹살 (Samgyeopsar) delicious pig meat. It was so good. After that we went to 도계 (Dogye) for district meeting and district jundo. While we were jundoing there was this kid who asked one of the missionaries what happened after he died, he said he had been to a lot of churches but none of the pastors could tell him. So he said they would meet again and gave them his number! Super prepared kid! Miracles are everywhere to be found, even outside of your area! We see miracles like this all the time here!
We had a super cool experience on Sunday. President Barrow came to Miryang for church! I don't think there was a single second in that church meeting where I didn't feel the spirit. He and Sister Barrow taught about the Spirit, it is so important to listen to the Spirit, and Elder Rasband and Joseph Smith promised that if you act on what you think is maybe the Spirit you'll get it right 9/10 times. That's the only way we have been able to find people to teach here, is listening to the Spirit to put us on the Lord's desired path. The other cool thing was that President Barrow and the Stake President talked with our Investigator Ku Minjoon and basically told him you need to get baptized and were super bold, the spirit was so strong there. I think it could've been a changing point for our Investigator. He is super awesome. The goal is to get him baptized in the next two transfers before President Barrow leaves.
My spiritual thought is a commitment, that's the best way for you all to learn and feel the spirit. Go read Mosiah chapter 14. Just do it! And ponder what the Savior has done for you and how much Faith he must have had to do what he did. How can you get that kind of Faith? What do you need to change to have Faith like Christ or Abinadi who taught this message to King Noah and gave his life for the gospel? What ever the Spirit prompts you to change, do it, and I promise you all that he will strengthen your faith.
I love you all! Have a great week!
