Happy Sol-Nar Family!!! J
Happy Korean New Year Everyone!!
It Was a different week here for us
because of the holiday but we ate lots of yummy food and had lots of fun times.
Monday after our contacting activity we went to a cougi (meat) buffet with all
the missionaries. Somehow I have been in Korea six months and this was my
first time to a cougi buffet. It was heaven especially for boys (aka the Elders
LOVE it), Drew and Seth would just love it. All the meat you want and you
cook it yourself at the table. Don't worry I ate plenty of food, maybe
more than some of the Elders... Also this week the Relief Society President
had us over for lunch on Solnar (the holiday this week) and we ate dokguk (rice
cake pieces in a soup, I can't describe it but it is delicious) and lots of
other delicious Korean foods.
Because of the holiday we spent Thursday and Saturday with our District at the church doing District meetings, pingpong, learning cooking and exercising from each other, pingpong, games, pingpong, made delicious food, and more pingpong. It was just a big party especially cause the Elders have picked me as their new target to bother and make fun of all the time, it is almost like Drew and Seth are here in Korea with me, haha!! We had these little yogurt drinks and I was somehow gullible enough to let them convince me that it was made out of cat milk...
I saw a guy at the grocery store this week that looked just like Drew, I almost went running to him until I realized it was a Korean guy, haha!! Also ran into an American lady in a small town outside the city this week that was so excited to see missionaries in her area; she told us all about the neighborhood and said we can come take a break at her house anytime. It was so nice to talk with an American and I think it made my companion realize how I feel all the time because she couldn't really understand the conversation, haha!!
We have a Baptism scheduled next
week for our investigator who is sixteen years old. She is super excited
about it and she says such sincere prayers, I am so happy for her.
We have a huge amount of youth in our ward and she has just become part of them
very quickly:) We had a cool moment with a member this week; we were
supposed to visit her but she was so busy, but we ended up at her house and
went with some of her family to visit a less-active. When we came back we
almost didn't get to share a message (their house is also their restaurant) but
we asked and she came out on the porch so we could share a quick message.
I shared my favorite scripture Moroni 7:45-47 and my companion shared her super
sincere testimony and the member was crying because of my companion’s
testimony. She bore her testimony in church about it yesterday and it
just showed me that even though she was busy we needed to visit her and there
was a reason we had to be persistent about sharing a message. God is
there to help us but we always have to do our part. That is one thing I
have seen so much in my mission is that we need to pray and fast for the
blessings we want but then in order to receive them we have to get moving and
do our part to receive them and then God will bless us. We need faith and
works to accomplish the things we want.
I am really trying to take in every
moment right now and enjoy the time I have to serve a Mission. When I
have a happy positive attitude I enjoy things so much more and see more
miracles!!
Hope everyone enjoys the Super Bowl
and I'll be cheering for the Seahawks:)
Love you!!
