Hey Family!!
I officially am with my new companion and it has
already been the best four days of my mission. My trainer left our area
in really bad condition and left me completely unprepared to introduce it so we
are having to work really hard to figure things out. And we are co-senior
now so we both have a lot more responsibility. It is the most tired and
happy I have been. We are working very hard and have goals to make this
area much better.
Saturday of this week we had a stake sports day
that was such a blast!! The missionaries from our Zone and half of another Zone
were there. It was so fun to see everyone and meet the new missionaries.
It was also a great time to bond with the ward and I really made an
effort to attempt to talk to people. All the women played a game of
kickball and unfortunately my ward lost. Somehow I signed up to kick
first, thanks to the language barrier. Our recent convert, of one week,
was the coach and it was so good to see them bond with the ward. Some of
the moms in the ward were hysterical and had no idea what they were doing.
There was hula-hooping contests, dodge ball, and delicious ward picnics.
I have to say food at Korean ward parties is better than in America!!
I have already begun to see the miracles of hard
work. Yesterday we wanted to visit a less-active but could not find
their house on the map, so we decided not to. After visiting a recent
convert and some other failed visits we somehow stumbled upon the less-actives
home. It was such a miracle that we magically found it. They let us
in so we were able to talk and introduce ourselves. Her son is active and
her daughter actually attended church that day. So we are very excited to
work with her and hopefully help her become active again.
It is starting to get cold here in Korea though the
mosquitoes are still eating me alive. My companion is teaching me to make
yummy Korean food and I am just so happy. Missionary work is so
incredible and I feel so blessed to be out here right now. Love and miss
you all!!
Love,
Sister Jacklin
