The Sunday before yesterday President and Sister Taylor came and taught about having your own Sacred Grove each morning. They invited the district to pray for 10 mins in the morning, with a specific purpose, like Joseph. And, we have been visiting members to follow-up/recommit them to what Sister Taylor invited them to do. And, they are reacting a lot better than we thought. They have already experienced revelation and are having good experiences.
This last Saturday a typhoon hit our zone. And, one of the members was following the commitment like Sister Taylor asked and she had the Spirit come over her, telling her to get her family together and head over to her father. Once she got there she saw that her father's home was having major leakage due to the heavy winds and pouring rain. And the whole family worked together and everything turn out alright!!!
I am grateful for the promptings of the Spirit to guide us in our everyday lives!!! I know that if we have fervent prayer, it will open our minds to the insights from on high!
We in DongHae, really want to kick off English Connect!!!!!!!!!!!! (Here is a link to what the headquarters in Seoul is doing. https://www.facebook.com/englishconnectHHC/)
They have it only in 3 areas in Seoul, but are now ready to reach out further!
When I first came to Korea, we used a program that was made by missionaries and some members here in the mission. But, just recently the Church Headquarters has come out with a formal and official English program, called English Connect! And, here in Korea we do it using the Helping-hands just like we did during the Olympics!
When I was on exchanges in KangNeung, I could literally get instant good impression on people by saying, "Do you remember the people helping out during the Olympics wearing yellow vests?" And, they all know! President, the APs, and Elder Huillet and I really want that to be the same for every Korean.
I think it is the next step to bring good a image and draw more attention to the Church and how we aren't like the 100,000,000 of other churches that Koreans have to choose between. Of course the restored truths are what draw attention for those who do get baptized. But, in the society we live in today. People don't want to hear a lot about religion. So, we are approaching it like Ammon does with the Lamanites who don't want to hear the message of the Lord. By really caring about their concerns and devoting our lives to making their lives better. For Ammon it was watching over the king's livestock. In Korea, people are really concerned about English!
Every single Korean wants to learn English! Whether they are curious or it is so they can be successful career wise. I can see us becoming really big! And, that we can have good image with the people we meet on the streets!
"Joseph took his question directly to Heavenly Father. He sought personal revelation, and his seeking opened this last dispensation. In like manner, what will your seeking open for you?" I feel it coming. We are pioneers over here! What does the Lord want to open up for you in your lives??
Love you all!!
Hiking 무릉계곡, Exchanges, and the Typhoon!
