Week 4 in Korea
Well, I have lost track of what week it is to title
my email!! haha!! It has been a really good week for me here. I was
able to go on splits for two days this week with Sister Spencer, we were so
excited!! She has been my lifesaver out here and I don't know what I
would have done without her. We spent those days in her area and headed
out to some of the 시 걸 (countryside) areas. It was so fun to see
the more rural areas and I was in heaven being surrounded by hills and green
everywhere. We kept saying we were having "ensign moments"
because we ended up on some random dirt road that led back to some house in the
middle of nowhere. One house back there had cages full of a ton of
dogs...you know what that means. We talked to the man that lived there so
then we set out on a mission to find all the other "dog killing children
of God" haha, we thought we were pretty funny!! That day we also
went to the open market and got a few Korean treats along with the best peaches
ever, they were like candy to us. Needless to say, Sister Spencer showed
me how to work hard those two days. I have the blisters, sunburn, and
sore feet to prove it but it felt so good to work my hardest. Also during
those days we taught an eight year old that is preparing for baptism and you
will have to tell Phoebe that I told him about her and that she had just gotten
baptized!! Our two investigators (the mother and son) were baptized this
week!! It was such an exciting day especially because they were so
excited to be Baptized. Our district sang a song at the Baptism, always
an adventure. The Korean elder loves to sing (and sing loud) but doesn't
have the best voice...we all laughed the whole time we practiced. The son
also ended up having to get Baptized on Sunday morning because the font was
freezing cold and when he went under the first time his feet came flying up and
we could not get him to do it again. It was an adventure filled Baptism
but also the spirit was very strong. I love Korea more and more all the
time and feel really comfortable and at home here. I have made cabbage
and onions a few times as comfort food, it hit the spot. Mom and Dad, so
glad you were able to try Korean food and kimchi. Kim chi is good but I
definitely would not choose to eat it alot. We just threw out all the kim
chi in our food. But all the other Korean food I have tried is amazing,
they definitely know how to do meat here.
I hope everyone has a great week and that everyone
is getting excited for school!! We have a busy week here in Korea with
zone conference on Wednesday!!
I love you!!!
Love,
Sister Jacklin
