December 1^st!!!!

Hi Family!!

Only 2 weeks and I'll be back home to spend the Holidays with you!!  I am so excited to be home but it is definitely sad to end the mission.  I have mixed feelings every day.

This week was very good.  We made an extra effort to talk to people on the streets and buses this week; no matter how long I am a missionary it is still scary.  But it is fun to meet new people and funny things always happen.  This week a group of three women got on the bus, one sat down next to my companion, one next to me, and one in front of me.  The one next to my companion asked for directions so then my companion asked me since I know the area best.  Well those ladies got a hoot out of it and got the whole bus laughing.  They thought it was so funny that the Korean asked the foreigner for directions in Korea.  They laughed for about five minutes straight; funny but hey, I am completely competent with directions and can speak Korean!! haha!!

We have a super sweet investigator, Sister Kim, and we are studying English with her two seven year old sons.  They are the cutest and always take us out to show off their bikes when we finish.  They don't have a religion so she is really open to listening to our message.  Last week we gave her the B of M and when we visited two days later she had read and marked it and come with questions!!  Yay, this was a miracle in my eyes since lots of investigators don't keep commitments.

Our investigators are doing good and we are really trying to get some of them to progress.  A few of them really don't feel the need for religion so we are really working to see the things they worry or are curious about and how the gospel can help us find answers.  I have received so much help from Heavenly Father and feel so blessed that I have grown up knowing the gospel; I just want other people, our investigators, to have this same blessing.  But we cannot make anyone feel that way and I know that God in his timing will open their hearts to the gospel.

Love you and hope that you have a great week:)

Love,

Sister Jacklin
