November 24, 2013 The Constant Miracles


Hello Family!!

Hope everyone had a wonderful week and is gearing up for all that yummy thanksgiving food I am dreaming of. We are going to an American style buffet next week to celebrate thanksgiving.  

This week was really great, always full of random adventures.  Friday, after weekly planning we decided to head out to one of our little towns an hour away.  As we were putting up our first English class sign we had a young mom approach us and wants us to teach her young daughter English.   She was totally okay with us doing the 30/30 program with them and we are going to visit twice a week.  We were so excited and it was such a miracle.  We knew we were meant to go there that day.  These are the moments that make missionary work so amazing!!

We are really working, praying, and fasting for our investigators that they can get their questions answered through pray and accept this gospel.  They are all such wonderful women and I want them to have the blessings of the gospel.  we have discovered that the hardest thing is to actually get investigators to church.  Our mission is doing a program to all give a gift to Christ for Christmas of one baptism.  We have some amazing investigators and I really think that we will at least have one baptism before Christmas:)

this week our ward had the primary program, and it was so cute and full of laughs.  The primary is about half the size of our Utah ward but I think they sang twice as loud (Koreans LOVE to sing).  Not sure how I ended up in a country where they love to sing since I have the worst voice ever!!

One other random story of the week;  Last week was mushrooms this week it was tomato juice...but my companion is a genius, she poured a little in my glass swished it around and poured the rest in her glass so it looked like I drank it, haha!!  We are getting pretty creative at avoiding these things.

We are approaching the last couple weeks of our transfer and I am getting anxious to find out next Monday if I will change areas.  I am still in my first area and would be happy to stay but would also love to see another area.  I just don't want to leave my companion.  We are the perfect pair and I think the other sisters think we are insane sometimes!!  We'll see what happens.

Love you all!!  Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Love, 

Sister Jacklin
