Forever a Missionary at Seoul: Week 58

A NEW Area, NEW people, NEW companion!
Although it is sad to leave behind what I have worked hard to build in 태백 (Taebaek), I am excited to start new.

(This last week I left my area to go to Seoul to meet as Zone Leaders and Sister training Leaders to meet with the APs and President and Sister Taylor) MLC was fantastic! I loved the Spirit that was flowing in that room. It honestly was just like President Nelson described counseling with the twelve.

"When we convene as a Council of the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve,our meeting rooms become rooms of revelation. The Spirit is palpably present. As we wrestle with complex matters, a thrilling process unfolds as each Apostle freely expresses his thoughts and point of view. Though we may differ in our initial perspectives, the love we feel for each other is constant. Our unity helps us to discern the Lord’s will for His Church."

Since the first day I stepped foot in 동해 (Donghae), I have seen miracles. I know that God has been blessing my companion and I because we have been exercising our faith. There have been new investigators, families, and baptismal dates given. I am thrilled to be in the work of the Lord.

I have recently been trying my best to approach missionary work just as the early Saints did. The earliest missionaries were always so bold with their testimonies and touched the hearts of men because of the powerful Spirit that testifying brings. I want that.

I also admire the way they were able to build from the ground up. (That is exactly what our Zone is doing in 강원도 Gangwon-do, the zone that Elder Hulliet and I are to watch over).
And, though their numbers were few, they were faithful and true the revelations of the Prophet Joseph Smith.

Sort of a side note~ It is fun to let go of fears, ain't it? Because when you have an eternal perspective in mind, none of your obstacles seem that big of a deal anymore. You feel as if you can do anything.

Elder Hulliet and I get along really well. He, for sure, has a strong testimony. He has lived all around the world because of his Air Force father. He really, really loves Rob Gardner, because of me. I think get a lot more laughs with him then previous companions, but he does speak a lot of English. Excessive usage of English has now started to make me feel cringey. Haha, It's hard to speak Korean, when English is what you hear. Haha, but that is just one thing. He is leaving for home in 5 weeks.

We are both excited to be able to help our zone know the "Why" behind what they do through deep understanding of doctrine, and to help us all as a zone put in to application "How" we can accomplish revelations for the Seoul Mission. That is what we are here to do, to minister and help individualize the revelations we get from our leaders. We customize it to fit those we are responsible for. Here we Go!!!!!!!!

I love serving in the country side, but more importantly, I love the people!!!!!!!!

So many blurry pics, my bad...

My dear loved Brother Lee from North Korea~ He is the best and will stay faithful to the end

Intestines soup!~ I enjoy Korean food more than you all think!

My new Apartment complex (Next time I will show the inside, I am tidying it up. But, It is the biggest in the mission I hear. Though there is only the 2 of us in the House)
