2^nd Transfer  September 16

Family and Friends,

 

I made it to my second transfer, wow!! I already feel like time is flying by and this next transfer will be so so busy!!  There is so much that happened this week that I want to share.  Sister Spencer left for another area this week so me and her had a sleepover in her room Tuesday night and us four sisters made one last big meal together on Wednesday before she left.  Koreans know how to do meat!!  Thursday we went to a woman named Judy's (she is from English class and completely fluent in English) house for dinner which I loved because I miss family dinners.  Afterwards we discussed a little about the Gospel and gave her a Proclamation to the World (our big message this week).  She agreed for us to come meet again and to also teach her two kids, they all have so much potential and I am excited for them to learn more about the church.  Friday my companion had a meeting in Daejeon so I was able to go on splits with my MTC companion Sister Livingston.  We had so much fun even though it was pouring rain.  It feels like Washington here!!  We had rain for three straight days.  Saturday we met with a referral from the Bishop who is in her thirties and just got married.  She is a golden investigator!!  Then we had an investigator come to English class who is another woman in her thirties that seems really impressed with the church and ready to learn about it.  My friend from high school, Christian Graf, just got transferred into my ward which has been such a blast.  He helped me with the beginners English class this week and it was so much better.  We brought a little more energy into the class and were able to make it more engaging.  We have been coming up with some great ideas to improve English class.  Sunday, President and Sister Shin gave a fireside here in Cheongju.  We had two investigators attend (the woman from English class and our other investigator who just set a baptismal date) and they really felt the spirit.  One of them wrote me the cutest note in broken english that said she loves this church and knows it is true and that the people are so kind.  It was an amazing moment for me to hear that confirmation that she was feeling the spirit.  

We found five new investigators this week and I know it is because the spirit has been present.  My companion and I have really worked on being happy and having unity and I have been amazed by the difference it has made in our work.  We will have a busy transfer with our investigators, but I am so excited to see all of them progress and hopefully be baptized.  I have had a great week and have just felt the energy and potential in our area pick up, I am so excited to share the continuing miracles with everyone.  I am looking for the little miracles everyday and as I do this I see so many.

This week is the Korean thanksgiving so we are focusing more on zone activities to improve our teaching and language since there won't be many people to talk to.  And we will also be going to some member's homes to celebrate.  I now live with three Koreans so I am going to have them teach me all about the Holiday!!

 

I love you all so much and hope everyone is doing well!!  I miss you all!!  Glad to hear the family is doing so well.  Good luck to Dad with his new calling, I know you will do great!!

 

Love,

 

Sister Jacklin
