Tonight is transfer calls. We are pretty positive me and
Sister Cho will not be staying together. Really sad, because we love being
together.
This past week, on Wednesday, we gathered together to
hear Our Mission President's Farewell Speech. He is leaving after this week. So
sad. He is a great man. So humble, always smiling. I will miss him and his
wonderful wife.
Then Sunday, yesterday, was Ward Conference, so we wore
our HanBoks. The members loved it. But I realized while in the
elevator I forgot to but on my massacre. So I just looked gross in all the
pictures. Its so hot in Korea. We are always sweaty and having that little
touch of massacre makes a difference.
Later that day we went and did a lot of street
contacting. We had fallen behind 40 contacts and needed to catch up. The hour
went well but we met a man who I got so frustrated with. He started out by
asking if we knew Mitt Romney and then ask "What do you believe?"
Sister Cho gave him a summary of the restoration and
other basic Beliefs. Then he went off about how a church needs to have an
apostleship. Which we told him we did, but of course he refused to listen. He
would just talk over us. So finally I asked him a question "Is there a
true church on the earth?" And he ignored my question. So my companion
said, "She asked you a question and repeated the question. All he said in
response was "no church is perfect." He was so annoying. He just wanted
to argue. He didn't believe he even went to the true church. Then he just talked
to only my companion and told her "This American is lost, but you, as a
Korean, have a chance to really think about these things. Then Sister Cho
responded, "I am Korean-American". LOL. I just stopped saying
anything, because I was so annoyed with this man. It was not easy keeping a smile.
Sister Cho wrapped it up nicely by simply telling him he can know for himself
if these things are true or not. Then he left.
I have met several people like this on the street. Every
time afterwards and during the conversation I am so frustrated. Because they
are out to prove you wrong and have no desire to hear what you have to
say. But every time it happens, it strengthens my testimony because this church
has the answers that depute their claims or even supports their argument of
what the true church has. Even though that man said Christ's Church needs an
apostleship and we AGREED! He ignored that and continued to argue about it,
when there was no argument to be had. Aaaah!!! The saying is so true, if they
are a prepared person, they will listen.
