HUMP DAY

August 20, 2017

Hello everyone! This last week on Thursday was hump day! So sad, it's going by so fast. I got a half a shirt, half a tie, and half of a bunch of candy bars. I didn't do anything fun for it cuz I had a lesson to prep for. But this week we are going to find live octopus to celebrate. I'm pumped.

Things are going good over here in Korea.  This week was good. We have a ton of appointments set up for next week, so I'll hopefully be teaching a lot of new investigators.  For now the only investigator is 김홍섭 Kim Hongsup. We had a super awesome lesson with him! We are doing 30-30, which means 30 minutes of english and then 30 minutes of church.  He's fluent in English so we can talk about God while teaching english too haha.  We asked if we could teach him the gospel in Korean, kinda to see if he had any church interest and he said yes! So we asked him what he though about God and he said the coolest thing.  He didn't believe in God right now because so many people are poor and suffering. But he's met us a few times and thinks we are really great guys. He says he get a special feeling when he's with us because of the way we act, so he's beginning to think that there is a God. We taught about God, and about prayer, and then invited him to pray at the end of the lesson and he did! It was super awesome, the spirit was really strong when he prayed.  He is a really special guy.

I also had the special opportunity to interview a baptismal candidate! Her name is Hannah Kim, who's Korean, but that's what she likes to be called.  She was so awesome! So prepared, it increased my testimony that people are out there.  The spirit was really strong in that meeting. And since stake conference was right before her baptism I got to go see it! It was a really awesome thing to see. The spirit is really strong in those kinds of things.

This week I found a scripture that I really like. It's Alma 24:14, if you want to see the scrip then go read it! It's about God, and the plan of Salvation.  It says in it that God made the plan because he is loving, and merciful.  That is the reason that everything works, why we get the opportunity to live the plan, and live with our families forever.   God loves us all to do all of this for us, even though we all fall short, because he loves us and is merciful it's all possible!

Hopefully next week I'll have some more good news about investigators for you!

I love you all! Have a good week!
