So we had no hot water all week. Which means that there was a lot of
screams of pain in the morning and at night when anyone showered. I didn't realized water could be so cold. It was terrible. even when its 91
outside with 80% humidity no one wants to take a shower with absolutely
no hot water.
On to other events of the week: it was really slow. We have no
more investigators and it was HORRIBLY hot so we visited a lot of members. Which was good because walking outside was miserable. The past
few days have been cooler though .God's tender mercies.

Anyways on Monday we had FHE With Sister Oh and her family and we
talked briefly about the priesthood and Brother Park (her husband) just
milked that only guys get it. His come back for everything through out
the night was "well at least I get the priesthood" or "I'm right because I
get the priesthood." It was hilarious. Then of course we had to explain
that just because he gets the priesthood doesn't make him more
important. We also visited them on Wednesday this past week and at the
end of our lesson about callings in the church we asked brother Park to
pray and sister Son and sister Oh talked for a little bit and I noticed
that brother Park pulled out his phone and typed "Prayer" into Google. That's when I realized that maybe he doesn't remember how to pray so I
pulled out our little page of how to pray and put it on the table. He
looked so relieved then offered this really simple really sweet
prayer. I love the first few prayers people give. They are so genuine
and the spirit is so strong it's great. They also got confirmed yesterday
in church. our ward mission leader confirmed them and their son and
when we were all talking in gospel principles class they couldn't believe
that our ward mission leader didn't prepare when he was going to say
before hand. It was really cute :)

Oh also I forgot to tell you. Last week when Sister Oh and her
family finally showed up to church you could tell that it had been a
rough morning. Na-Yeon and Na- Oon (their other daughter) both had red
eyes and sister oh looked adjusted. The first thing that went though my
mind when I saw them was "wow Satan is working hard of this family" I
know that they are going to be strong amazing members and I know that Satan knew that to but even though he tried he couldn't stop them from
joining this amazing Church. Take that Satan!
This week was really kinda hard actually. I was really frustrated
that I still cant get the language and it was weighing me down all week.
Finally on Thursday during companionship study I lost it and started
crying and told sister son about how frustrated I was with Korean. Then
she told me something that I will never forget. She told me that when I
bear my testimony in Korean that Spirit is so strong. She has heard me
bear my testimony in English but nothing compares to the spirit that is
present when I bear my testimony in Korean. She said that she is constantly asking herself if her spirit is that strong as well. It
touched my heart. And after that conversation, we met with three members
and I actually knew what was being said and could be a part of the
conversation. It was like God was telling me "Be patient. It's coming."
