Hey
familly!!
This
week I have like no time to write a whole email again. I know sad.
With our zone we are going to the zoo and it about 2 hours away so we
can't stay long too long. (Yeah we were going to go last week but we
took the wrong subway so we went to China Town instead)
We
watched conference this week. IT WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! I really
loved it! I will say the Saturday session didn't apply much too me
because it was about marriage and family but I did still get a little
out of it for my and my companion :)
I
really liked how the Sunday session was based on the how the simple
basic truths is all we need to focus on in the church. It is good to
know all the details but just like me as missionary, we only teach
the simple things because that is when the Holy Ghost speaks to us
the best. And that is the answer I needed. This last transfer it has
been really hard for me to teach. I always want to get into things
that aren't really necessary for people to hear... I think that is
why I was sent to Korea to help people but not to overbear them but
because of my small knowledge of Korean I can't expound on too much.
:) I also learn that we each must have a testimony of the
atonement and what it means to us. I have had a pretty decently good
easy life. I never have had to use it as much as I have on my
mission. I never realized how much "disobedient" I was
before my mission. The point of the atonement is so that we can
become like God. That is why the fall happened. Christ literally
broke the bands of death that we are just in a free fall. Because we
can be forgiven and now that we know good and evil we can one day
return to the presence of our Heavenly Father.
Because
we have been white washing I have not had any lessons this week. We
had one and today (actually while I have been writing this email) I
realized that the things that I learned in Conference, must be
applied in my mission. I think the Lord needs me to be prepared with
my lesson plans and my simple doctrine so that when my companion
leaves this transfer I will be able to take over. I have not been
able to teach at all! It is crazy. I really know that the Lord is
blessing me each day that I am able to teach because it really isn't
not me doing it. :) So if you could pray that I can learn how to
teach this week. I would love it so that I can be more prepared for
people.
In
my first transfer my Zone Leader once told me that if I am prepared
with just one lesson plan that God will give me someone who needs to
hear exactly what I prepared for, nothing more. That can be applied
to life. We must all have our personal testimony of the simple
doctrine so that when we are in certain situations that we maybe able
to overcome them or help someone else understand more fully.
I
really do love my mission. My companion is awesome. I haven't really
told you much about her yet. She is flawless in Korean. I kill her
this transfer. She is an amazing singer and love soccer. She is
almost as weird as me and she does a killer Brian Regan
impersonation. She is not trucky at all. She is one of the hardest
working missionaries out there and she is great at talking to people.
Which I am not. I thought I was until I became companions with her ;)
So
I love you all. Remember who you are and what you stand for. Gain
that testimony for yourself; don't rely on others.
I
love and miss you all sooo much!! Be safe!
Love,
Sister
