I have seen a lot of great results from applying what I learned from my leaders recently. And, this last week together we have been able to achieve things that we have never been able to before.
I learned a lot about everything from my companion Elder Lee. I know that one of the bigger reasons that I was put with him was to be able to improve my Korean, but out of all the Koreans in the mission I was put with HIM in this area. As I have been given the chance to work with him, I have had to step up my game and really stand for what I know. With Elder Lowe my trainer, I was told what goals we were to achieve, told everything that I need to improve on, and kept under strict rules, and then I was left to find the find right path to take me to the destination that we need to go to.
But, when I came to 동대문, I was the driving passion and dream finder. If we were to go the extra mile, it was because he gave me the reigns, and he was there to support me where I fell. Most of the time it was Korean where he supported me.
My companion is a talented person, and easy around people and makes it chill, and it definitely makes it comfortable for people to get brought into a new culture. He doesn't realize how awesome he really is, he has a lot more potential then he gives himself credit for.
With my next companion my goal is to be completely on the same page, unified, and one! Sometimes if your speak different languages then there can be a lack of communication. Isn't that a funny thing! Hahaha! And, so I craved that unity. It just took a lot more effort and time to be on the same page. I wanted him to flourish with his natural talents and gifts to further the work here with some fun flavor.
And, of course I want to work my guts out, that is no question. I want to grow together.
I know that God wants us to experience things so that we may grow and that he puts us in the families that we are in for a reason, it is no accident. And, we can find out what we are supposed to do if we pray to know what difference you make with yourself to better help those around you. All we have to do is earnestly seek it and He will give to us gladly.
Off to another adventure of a week!
A street food that my comp loves and shared with me. It is actually very delicious! It is filled with red bean paste.
Grammy this one is for you. My comp had no idea what this was until an elderly brother in the ward gave it to us as a gift when we visited him. It's a back-scratcher!
Eating out with the recent converts in the ward. There is is no better chicken than chicken in Korea, especially compared to America.
Transfer Calls, they are all leaving me this Wednesday! My whole district. BYE BYE
Mongolian member in our ward!!! Cutest thing!
If you look in the Window you can see our wards recent convert and us sitting on the bench waiting for the subway.
Korea loves art! Everywhere you walk there is "art".
