Another crazy week, but nothing really all
that new to report. We're working really hard to help the Members get
excited about missionary work, and as we've been doing that, so many
other things have come up as well. Helping them have more FHE,
encouraging home teaching, every aspect of the Gospel has been
influenced a lot lately.
There's a lot of work for us, but I love it. The
Lord's hand in this part of the work is strong. We're going uphill, but
we've got the Lord at our backs.
The only
really hard part has been working together as a companionship. Because
my companion is so new to Korea, a lot of things we're doing is hard.
Lots of meetings, lots of talking with members, lots of Korean. But he's
handling it great. It's just been hard for me to really think of things
that he can help with. So much of it I really have to do alone most of
the time. But I need to find a solution to that. He needs the practice
and I need an extra set of hands if we're going to be able to keep up.
The Stake President is serious about this work. He's met with us a
couple times and told us himself. This is our chance. For the first time
in who knows how long, every member has their mind on missionary work.
If we miss this opportunity, we're not getting it back. That spirit
that's here won't last long.
Needless to say, a little pressure at the moment.
And we're still pushing. I love the Gospel. It pushes you. It
strengthens you. Heaven knows, this work has changed the way I look at
things. But I've still got a few things to learn. Especially about
working with stress, not letting stress work me.
You guys are the best. Thanks for everything you do.
The weather is cooling down, so hopefully we'll be able to get things
up and running again soon. It's insane really. Looking at all the people
the Lord has called to these areas. They're powerful missionaries. All
of them. Makes me wonder how I came to be called here. So often I feel
like a child among giants, not fully capable of this. But I trust the
Lord. He's never let me down yet, and I can't let Him down as long as I
give my all.
I love you! Have a great week!
