Forever a Missionary at Seoul: Week 62

This week was officially my 1 year mark in Korea!!!!!!!
I can't believe it! Ah!

I love these people, with all my heart! They have taught me so much. I can't believe that I am on the downward slope. But, I don't feel as if I am going down, I feel as if I am accelerating up and I am never going down!

This week we found 3 investigators!!!! We are finding more and more people. It is great! And, we are meeting them fairly regularly. I love this work. You can never see the progress or the magic in the moment with language skills or investigators' progress and so on, but that is just how it works. Just add at little time to dedication and it becomes rich!

Looking back a year from now, it is so crazy the things I have able to do with the Lords help! I have felt the Lord guiding me and I have seen many miracles and witness that this Gospel is true. I feel I have been able to have a better grasp of His reality and of His glory.

General Conference was a blast!! President Nelson has so much energy! A lot more than I thought. I feel like he is going to be around for a while. And I can't forget about the apostles. They are such inspired men!

This last transfer I have really enjoyed making the Transfer Training Plan a part of me (The picture, we get one of these every transfer). That's very exciting! Plus Elder Jack N Gerard's reflections on life and having eternal perspective have inspired me to make a "Semi-annual Training Plan" based of the specific prompting I received this Conference!

Elder Huillet said right after General Conference finished, "Ahh! I just want to see the next Conference already!" But then I replied with "But, if that were true, where would be the time to prove ourselves? I am excited to organize the promptings I receive and prove that I will become what His servants have taught. And, then finally after 6 months we can see how far we have grown and become better prepared to receive higher knowledge in the next one."
It reminds me of what President Nelson said last conference
"As you repeat this process day after day, month after month, year after year, you will 'grow into the principle of revelation.'"
I want to repeat this process following up with myself and with the Lord every 6 months to see if I am growing into the principle of revelation (following the prophet). (Revelation is the means by which our Father in Heaven Communicates with his children here on Earth. What better way is there than the "Lord's Mouth piece")

We got to do this bit on our own! General Conference is probably one of the closest way to really here God's voice and his will for the Earth is right now. What a great opportunity!!!!!

*What is your "Semi-annual Training Plan"? What does God want you to become and work on? Even if it is one thing, it is worth committing to it! But, make sure you look over your plan daily to God in prayer. He will show you the way!!!!!!!!!

Korean version of Chinese food (It is the best I have ever had, if I take any of you back to Korea and want to show you Chinese food it would be here!) (Pork-cutlets are best in my greeny area ;) )

The Costco of Korea. E-mart samples! These are good side dishes. I love the dried Squid

This was a yearly fireside that got the whole district together.

I had to go to Seoul to re-new my foreigner card. (1 year in Korea!) I went with Elder Whicker because he came here the same time as me!

Elder Whicker and I were still coming back from Seoul when we were supposed to have our Weekly District Counsel (Good thing we already do them through Video Chat!)
