The Start of Transfer 3 in Cheonan
April 14, 2014
Hey Family!!
I hope you are all enjoying that
wonderful Hawaiian sun and getting really tan!! Luke, listen to Mom and wear
that sunscreen, Dad still thinks he is going to tan but I have just
faced that I burn and wear sunscreen!! haha, Moms always know
best:) I think I am as white as I have ever been, I need that Hawaiian
sun instead of the rain we have been receiving.
It has been a very busy week here
because of transfers. We spent the beginning of the week literally
running all over town so Sister Lee could say goodbye to members. I was
so exhausted and don't know if I have ever eaten as much food as I did this
week. But I won't complain because we were spoiled, we even
got to eat crab at this delicious buffet!! It was really sad to say
goodbye to members of my district who have really become like family but we all
know we will see each other again and there are many more adventures to come
throughout the mission and after.
Thursday I met up with my new
companion, Sister Lee Ji-woo. We served in the same Zone together for
three transfers when I was in Cheongju so we were shocked and so excited to be
companions. She is an awesome missionary and teacher so I am super
excited to serve together and I know we will see so many miracles!! She
is a go-getter personality and has confidence, so I know that with the two of
us put together we can do missionary work better than I ever have. This week we
were able to set a Baptismal date with our cute grandma investigator. Her
daughter moving back from New Zealand has made all the difference in her making
this final commitment to become a member of the church. It also turns out
that her daughter is very close family friends with my companion and her
family. 신기해요!!
So, we are working towards that Baptismal date and really making sure that she
understands the reason for Baptism and the principles we believe in our church.
My companion is Sister Training
Leader so we went to Daejeon on Friday and I was able to go on splits with some
sisters I have not been able to see in forever, and we had such a fun
day. We did some studying together and then went out to do some
proselyting. One of the sisters we were with is killer at talking to
people on the streets, so I learned a lot! I have never talked to so many
cute grandmas in my life, with a few grumpy ones mixed in. One made a
heart with her arms and said she loved us as we were leaving, so precious!!
We were able to watch General Conference
this weekend, and it was so great!! It has been amazing to me that
as I have sat down and really listened to the talks that they have talked about
some of the exact things I needed to hear. I liked a lot of the talks but
one I wanted to share is Russell M. Nelson's talk about letting your faith
show. We have faith in the things that are most important to us, whether
that is Christ, movies, celebrities, sports, or whatever we spend our time
thinking about. So we need to realize what is most important, Christ, and
then put our whole faith in him and act on that faith. As we act on that
faith we can grow our testimonies, become better people, and bless others
lives. Only through Christ can we overcome all things so even in our busy
lives we always need to remember Him. If you can't tell, faith is
something I have been thinking and studying so much while on my mission!!
Sorry there wasn't much to report
this week, I promise to have lots of fun exciting stories next week! Love
you all and hope you enjoy your time in Hawaii!!
Love,
Sister Jacklin
