| My New Companion! |
I got a new companion! Her name is 손아름 자매님! But we can call her Sister Son for those of you who can’t
read Korean :) She’s great. Defiantly a change but hopefully it will be good.
One thing I have learned so far is Sister Stradling and I really did have it
good. Something you don’t realize until it’s gone but Sister Son is great too
and she’s fluent in English so that’s a plus. She went to BYU before she came
out here.

We had a lot of member visits this
week because sister Stradling was leaving. When we visited with Sister Kim in
our ward (I haven’t talked about her yet with you guys) she said the closing
prayer to our visit and she prayed that my new companion would be able to fill
the gap that sister Stradling would leave in my heart. It was adorable.

| Eating Bab Bean Su. Bean Ice Cream. It was deliious |
We also met with Amanda this week
again! She showed up to English class out of the blue and wanted us to help her
study for her English test again. We read a little bit of the “Your 4 mins”
talk from this past conference with her and she liked it. We asked her to read
the rest and we’ll be meeting with her again on Tuesday. Hopefully more
interest sparks there.

We also met with Mary and Jani! They
are so adorable. They were so confused when Sister Stradling was gone because
we didn’t have time to tell them she was leaving but our lesson with them went
really well. It’s really nice to have a Korean. I finally know what’s going on
during all the lessons! Mainly because she updates me on what she said after we
are done. I still can’t understand much. But we taught them the first half of
the plan on Salvation. Then committed them to read the scriptures and pray
every day. They said they would. We gave them a little piece of paper
that showed them how to pray. And it was so Cute: after the
lesson was over and we had prayed and everything we asked if they had ant plans
tonight and Mary said she was going to pray! It was adorable. We just have to
get them out to church. That seems to be the struggle recently with our
investigators.

| Silk Worm Larva! Yes I did eat it. Dad should be proud. |
We weren’t able to meet with Sister
Oh this week because she was out of town but she said that she would go to
church in Gwang Ju (which is where she was) I think she forgot that she said
she wanted to get baptized this week but that’s okay because we still have some
things we want to make sure she knows before she makes that step. Like the
baptismal interview questions. But I’m not too worried I know she will get baptized
when she is ready :)

| The New Group! They got rid of two Elders adn combined districts. It's kinda weird honetly...but good. |
I had a really good last
companionship study with Sister Stradling. I wanted to share it with you. I
read through Elder Nelsons talk from this past conference and one line really
stood out to me. It said "Daddy don’t worry about me. I know I will be alright!"
when I read this I thought about how this is probably exactly what I said to my
Heavenly Father when he sent me to earth. Now I just have to prove to him that
I will be alright by serving him faithfully and always following him. I
also thought about mom and dad as well. Don’t worry about me. I’ll be
alright. I promise. It’s hard out here but it’s so worth it and I have grown so
much closer to my heavenly father in the few months that I have been
here. Thank you for raising me in the gospel. Because I know that this church
is true I know that I, and the whole family. Will be alright if we just put
forth the effort and follow God :)
I hope you all had a great week. I
love and miss you all!
