MIRACLES
HELLO
EVERYBODY!
Pictures:
Baptism yesterday...Sister Kim, our lovely Grandmother Park, devout member
Sister Jeong, me
Eating
hae (raw fish! Yes, I did that before,
but this time IT WAS STILL MOVING WHEN I ATE IT!)
Maybe
you are all wondering, does it feel real?
Last email, last week...
Surprisingly,
the answer is yes. It hit me Friday
night after mission tour. I just excused
myself after planning and went and sat on the bathroom floor and cried for
about 20 min. I couldn't help
myself...ha, ha, I'm crying now just thinking about it. It doesn't matter how great of a writer I
become or how much time you give me...I will never be able to express this deep love and
gratitude I feel to have been able to serve my Lord as a missionary in beloved
Korea. I am blessed to have been given a
love deep, a joy incomprehensible.
I
know that He lives and that He loves us.
God is our Father, and His son Jesus Christ is our Savior.
He
is a God of miracles. Just one example if my fingers can fly fast enough!

Hey Family!
Arggh, this
email will be really short, I'm sorry!
There is so much paperwork and such that we have to send in to the
mission office...crazy stuff, going home.
Even if I were to TRY not to think about it, it would be impossible!
Happy
Chuseok! The streets are empty and
silent but we are taking this P-day to have a big dinner with a less active and
we are excited for all the yummy, deep fried food!
Thanks for
all of your sweet notes and emails! I
got all the letters from the Young Women from girls camp! Thank you all so much! Love you tons!
Till next
week! LOVE YOU!!!

You
Won't Belive It But...MISSIONARY MAILBOX
Dear
Family!
Never
thought that it would come down to it, but I sent my last handwritten letters
last week (dated the 25th). Well, I
might send some more, but today was a pretty busy P-day and anything going out after
today is pretty much guarranteed to get home (gulp) after I do. But let's not
talk about that! It kind of hurts my
heart to break down and email my last three weeks, but I've decided that letting
you all know about the miracles around here is more important to me that
anything else! Also, hate to admit it,
but letters take time, and I'm going to give everything in the next couple
weeks to living here, in Korea.
Yesterday,
for the second week in a row, our new investigator family (yes, FAMILY!!!) came
to church! We called the mom Saturday
night to make sure they were coming and she said, sorry, they wouldn't be able to make it because they were
busy. The feeling I got, though, was that
she's just a little overwhelmed by everything right now. They met us (and our church) for the first
time last last Saturday at English class, came to church Sunday, came to the
Mon. night English class, chatted with
us by phone Tuesday, had their first lesson Wednesday, English class again
Saturday...that's how we like it, actually!
Contact with investigators that often is what we strive for, but I think
she was a little overwhelmed. They were
pretty surprised last week too, when church was a whopping three hours long! And such a different style from the churches
they are used to.
