My Mission to Korea

AN UNEXPECTED MIRACLE

This past week has been extremely busy. This past week we have been preparing for our English presentation that happened Saturday. Between me and Sister Cho, we made all the animals, signs, and with the help of the Bishop and Elders, the TV set. The whole project of making props got really big and I feel bad to say it took away from doing missionary work. But lesson learned for us and the English coordinators. We all realized, even though the presentation went really well, that it was too big and time consuming. So next time it will be a smaller scale.

All who came to the presentation really enjoyed it. The theme of the presentation was "Watching TV". So each presentation was a TV show. For our class we did a Barney and Friends like TV show, but the Korean version. I played BoMi Onee, the host of the TV Show. It was fun. Even though rehearsal and practice was crazy, the kids did great when it was the real thing and the parents loved it.

After the presentation of the older kids and the High School students, we had shops set up and gave people fake money. Then everyone had to speak English to us in order to get food. The presentation looked legit and was done very professionally. So much fun to do, but I am glad that stress is gone and I can just focus on missionary work.

After the presentation we went to go meet our investigator Kim InHwa. We've only met her a couple times before. But she came to our ward picnic and to church once. She hasn't been able to meet us for the past two weeks, but Saturday night she could. We planned on going to a free concert together but when we got to her house she told us she was too tired to go. We both we very disappointed, but the Lord had other plans that need to get accomplished.

Instead we talked with in her at her house and taught her the second lesson. She understood it all very well and agreed to get baptized on July 21st! She kind of said "yes" in passing, so Sister Cho asked again and she said "Yes, give me my calendar" and wrote it down. It was so miraculous. It truly was a Spirit led lesson. That morning we had no time to role play before the lesson, but I just opened my mouth and everything came out of me so fluently. Gift of Tongues! So awesome and NEEDED! It was a great lesson. So we are super excited considering me and my companion have been struggling with finding investigators for two transfers. It was an unexpected miracle. It is so important to realize how everything happens on the Lords time and not our own.
