This week went by crazy fast! A big reason was conference, but also because
we were able to meet people during the week also. I’ll just skip to the end of the week real
quick. We had 5 people come out to
conference!!! The members seemed pretty
shocked, but they kind of excluded them after which was pretty
disappointing. We have sooo few members
and they’re all really close, so it’s almost like they don’t want anyone new to
come in. Anyways, the first one to come
was Sis. Moon. I wasn’t able to really
talk with her after, so I don’t know how she liked it. We met with her once during the week and
talked about A LOT of stuff. She doesn’t
really have anyone else in her life at all, so it’s good for her to talk with
us. She said ever since she started meeting
with us all her loneliness and bad dreams have gone away! That was super great to hear. We extended a baptismal invitation and ………she
said she wants to read and learn more first.
But she said she’d get baptized when she knows the BofM is true. She also said she wants to start paying
tithing right now, which made me want to cry because she has very little, only
government support. She’s been having
questions lately about just not knowing what to do in life, so hopefully we can
help her out.
The second one who came out was Kim
Hyobong, the old guy who came out to church last week. We met him once during the week and taught
the restoration. He’s just a really
chill old man who is humble enough to be willing to give things a try.
The other people came from the Jo
family! They’re the best, I love them so
much. We met them once during the week
as well and their aunt just happened to drop by, so she joined us for the gospel
portion. We reviewed the restoration
with the help of the kids, and I think the aunt really liked seeing that. We focused on prophets and talked about
conference. The mom said she’d love to
come, but works every day from 9-5. That
hurt to hear! So we didn’t expect them
to come, but they were able to! I asked
her how, and she just said that her work was switched! So that was a cool miracle.
We had the less active lady call us
because her baby son we sick, so we went over and gave him a blessing, my first
in Korean! It would’ve been better if he
wasn’t screaming though. She said
something about how whenever she needs help, she thinks of us. It made me think that it is easy to think of
God and pray when things are hard, but we need to remember Him and especially
be grateful when things are going well.
I’m grateful for the great conference
that we were able to enjoy. One thing I
learned is that the Lord is the one doing the work, we just do the little
acts. I was really able to see that as
well when He provided a way for the Jo family to come out to conference. I am grateful for the chance to do my little
part in this great work. Thank you for
all your love and support and especially for all your prayers. I love you all and hope you have a great
week, and remember the good experiences you have had in this great gospel.
Love,
Elder Jace Anderson
