Hey family!!
Another week come and gone...what
happened this week?...it is honestly all a blur but I'll try and remember the
important things!!
Our investigator, May-Hee. I talked
a bit about her last week. She is a 25 year old student from China. She went to
the dessert party with us and had a great time, even though we had to convince
her to come with us. We planned to meet her on Thursday but when I woke up in
the morning there was a text waiting from her saying her professor called
saying she needs to go back to China early...meaning immediately!! NOOO!!! We still have to teach her the Gospel before
she goes to China!! We were able to meet
her one last time that day and she made us a delicious Chinese lunch!! I loved it. Some of the tastes were similar to the stuff I
ate in Xian. We are really excited that she can go back and see her family but
sad to see her go so soon. We made sure
to give her all the church materials we had in Chinese before she left^^
Tuesday night we had a dessert party
with missionaries, members, and investigators. It turned out to be super fun. We did a relay game where you had to wear
gloves and use chopsticks at the same time. Not the easiest thing in the world!! I was talking with one of the Elders
investigators and he was telling me all about the missionaries he originally
met in Seoul and how great they are and then he showed me a picture and it
turned out to be my friend Riley Hale! It is a small world even here in Korea.
Wednesday we went to Gwangju for a
meeting with our Zone. It was a great boost to start the transfer!! One thing I
loved was something our Zone Leader, Elder Khan, gave a training on. He taught us about finding our own Sacred Grove
to talk with the Lord and receive guidance. First he focused on the importance of
preparing so for us as missionaries that is waking up, exercising, and getting
ready. Then we find a quiet place alone and pray to our Heavenly Father and
then spend some time thinking and being able to receive revelation from God.
This should be our morning devotional with our Father in Heaven. I really loved
this!! It is important to really take some quiet time to talk with our Father
in Heaven and really feel how close He is. As I am trying to do this I am
already seeing myself open up to learn more and be guided by Heavenly Father.
Yesterday I gave my first try at
translating church into English...hardest thing ever!! During sacrament meeting there was one older
man in the ward who gave a talk and I didn't even try to translate!! We have a
Canadian member who just moved here last week so I think that me and Elder
Driggs are going to get some good translating practice in the next few months!
I just realized how much more I need to study Korean!!
Sorry, not much exciting to share
this week! love you all and hope you are enjoying the end of summer vacation:)
Love,
Sister Jacklin
