hello everyone. well transfers were last week and guess what? i
have a new companion! I am senior companion. his name is elder
clawson. he came to korea on tuesday. which also labels me as a
trainer. shocked!
this week has been interesting i have been able to see how much
Heavenly Father plays a huge role in the language. i have worked hard my time
here to learn korean to do my best but it just hasn’t clicked. you have
to hear and understand. then speak and boy is it hard. but i have been very
blessed this week as to how my 'ears have been opened' and my 'tongue has been
loosed' i can only say things that i have studied but the Lord is helping
me understand everything that i need too.
WE have found possibly 3 new
investigators. last night we visited some members and it was the first
time i have visited members where i have actually spoke the majority of the
time. the Lord is truly in this work.
my comp is a workaholic. we have been busy lately and all he
wants to do is go and talk to people. obviously the language is difficult but
he is brilliant and is picking it up super fast. i'm trying to find the balance
between pushing to motivate and still making sure he is having fun and not
hating his life. he is a great missionary and willing to work hard.
yesterday i had a chance to stand up in front of the priests cuz
they wanted me to say some good words i guess. i went off about elder
christoffersons talk about 'manning up'. i thought it was interesting to see
that i am not a man nor close to it but it was a good experience.
this work is crazy and is even better now that the Lord is using
me to speak korean now. my heart is full of joy and i don’t know how i
can thank Him anymore for what He has let me do this last week. we are
tired. this work as a senior companion is so different.
i'm blessed to know that He really does love and care about all
of us and the Lord does have a timeline. He has a plan.
