Start of Transfer 8!!

Hey Family!!

 

Happy Birthday to Luke!!  You are a teenager now, I can hardly believe it!!  You have grown so much while I have been gone last night we were looking at pictures and one of the other sisters saw your picture when I went to the MTC and then your picture now and could hardly believe you are the same person!!

 

Today I officially started my eighth transfer and my fourth here in Cheonan!! Our district didn't have much change, two Elders left and two Elders came.  It is really nice cause we can just keep going the same as last transfer. 

 

We finally colored Easter eggs this week, a little late but we did it^^  They worked out pretty well besides the fact that white eggs don't exist in Korea so our eggs turned out to be a lot more brown and natural looking colors, haha!!

 

We have 3 invetigators who are all friends that we meet together, Sunny, Crystal, and Yon.  Yon has been trying to get her Canadian citizenship for a long time and it miraculously came through this week.  We were on the phone with Sunny and when she was telling us about Yon's citizenship she said,"I think it is because she is learning about your Mormon God!!" hahaha, that was the most hysterical thing coming from a Buddhist!!

 

Friday my companion had a meeting in Daejeon so I was able to go to Daejeon and go on splits with some of the other Sisters for the day.  It is always so fun to talk with other Sisters and hear about what is happening in other parts of the mission.  I was with Sister Pappa most of the day and somehow we were able to weave our way through the city and find the famous tie lady and during that we realized that summer has most definitely come!! ahh!!  That morning when Sister Lee and I were walking to the Mission office from the bus terminal a lady approached us and was saying how bad my back and body are, my body is super messed up and the mission has only added, well she walked down the street with us massaging my shoulders for about five minutes it was quite funny.  She wanted to do some crazy oriental medicine treatment on me but we had no time.  It is so funny to me when I think of all the random things that happen to us as Missionaries.

 

Yesterday after church we met up with a new investigator, she is English interest but also interested in hearing about our church.  We talked about the book of Mormon, our church organization, and a lot of other things.  It was so interesting to me because she is not a member of our church but she said everything made so much sense.  She wants her church to start doing tithing like us^^  It really shows that our church is guided by God not by man.

 

I hit my year mark this week so it has really hit me how short this time is.  I am trying to soak up all the time I have left and give my all to this work.  Love you all and hope you have a great week!!

 

Love,

 

Sister Jacklin
