Hello Family!
Well, Summer has definitely arrived in Korea and Sis. Kelly
and I are melting. Sadly, I don't think Summer has actually started but it sure
feels like it to me. Sis. Kelly and I are hoping that it will not be as intense
as everyone says. Who knows though, we may have an advantage over Elders
because we get to wear skirts everyday. This week has been filled with miracles
and Sis. Kelly and I are seeing quite a bit of progression among our
investigators this week.
One really notable thing that happened this week is that our
district received 6 referrals, the sisters alone received 3! It was amazing.
Things are really starting to pick up and we are meeting our potential
investigators this week. I guess what they say is true, the Lord will help you
find people people to teach. Another notable thing that happened this week is
that Sis. Kelly had a street lesson! Lately, she has been struggling with
street contacting. One day, we were at a park and I told her to talk to a woman
sitting on bench watching her children play in the water. At first, Sis. Kelly
was super hesitant, but she mustered up the courage and went to talk to her. As
I watched her, I was praying that it would be a great experience for her. Well,
one thing led to another and the woman she met was really interested in hearing
about the gospel. As I listened to Sis. Kelly talked, I could feel the spirit
especially when she bore her testimony. I jumped in every once in a while to
translate and explain things simply, but it was a powerful lesson. We hope that
she will call us back, but her friend is a pretty hard core missionary from
another church.
We also met with a couple of members this past week. I am
really excited to work with the members more this coming transfer. President
Morrisse has really emphasized to us that we need to help strengthen the ward
and its members. The bishop of our ward has asked us to take a bigger part in
the YW program. We have started attending their meetings a little bit more and
the YW have really started to open up to us. It is great!
Oh, I also became super domesticated this past week. I made
banana bread and it was delicious! I also cleaned the entire house in a
skirt...including the bath tub. Haha I never thought this day would come, but
here it is....I can actually clean in a skirt and bake. Weird. I still cannot
cook the best, but Sis. Kelly is a champ and is letting me try things out on
her.
Other than that, I don't really know what else to say. Sis.
Kelly and I laugh a lot nowadays and we have started talking at night. I know,
terrible idea but we just have so much fun together. Oh, yesterday was Sis.
Kelly's birthday so in order to celebrate her birth we are looking for Taco
Bell!
Love you,
Sis. Chao
