Can you believe that another transfer has come and gone? Well, I
cannot because it seems like Sis. Kelly and I were just starting our
second transfer together. On Saturday, Transfer calls arrived and it
looks like I will be staying in 안양!. I know, I was
really surprised because no one has stayed here longer than 4
transfers. Sis. Kelly will be in the same zone but is going to be with
her first Korean companion! Haha, I am so excited because that means she
will be embracing Korea faster than ever! I must admit
that I was a bit jealous, but I am really excited to meet my new
companion! Her name is Sis. Nebeker who came to Korea the same time as
Sis. Kelly and I think she might be from Orem. I don't really know
because I haven't had the change to talk to her yet.
It will be fun and who knows, she is probably the key to making more
miracles happen in this area.
This past Tuesday, we had another appointment with 손순옥자매님. As we
were planning and preparing for her lesson, Sis. Kelly and I had this
feeling that we should prepare lots of scriptures using the Book of
Mormon and the Bible. As we were teaching her about
the Plan of Salvation, all of the questions that she asked, we had
scriptures to help answer them. As we did that, the spirit was invited
and we felt the presence a lot faster. 손순옥자매님 recognized that what we
were saying were true because she stated that she
felt the spirit. She said that we could be pastors someday, which I
take as a compliment. ^^
Yesterday, Sis. Kelly had to give her farewell speech on the pulpit
and it was adorable. Everyone was laughing because she tried her best
to give her talk in Korean. Although it wasn't perfect, all of the
members told her that they felt the spirit and
understood that she really wanted them to help with missionary work.
After sacrament meeting, a lot of members came up to us and invited us
to dinner. In the next 2 days, we have.....8 meal appointments? Do not
ask me how we are going to do it, just know that
we will make it work. Lately, Sis. Kelly and I have been meeting with a
less active member and helping her feel like she is still welcome at
church. One of the things that has really helped her feel comfortable
around is by doing our nails. Normally, I wouldn't
be for painting my nails but this is a great way to get to know her.
Since I am staying here in 안양, I am going to make it a goal to make this
sister feel like this ward is home. That is what this ward is starting
to feel like to me! I love all of the members
here and I just want them to always remember that church is a refuge
from the world.
Oh, I also ate pig blood sausage yesterday...bad news. Oh man, it
was terrible and Sis. Kelly and I just couldn't eat it without laughing.
Somethings are just not meant to be eaten by me. I think that is one of
them. Maybe I have become a little bit pickier.
I would write more, but I feel like my emails are turning into
really boring novels. Even I got bored reading my email over again.
Haha.
Love you!
Sis. Chao
