PATIENCE
Sad news, our investigator Kim InHwa is no longer on date
to be baptized. Last Monday she called us to go eat, but it was P-Day and I was
grocery shopping and making kimchi to prepare for our zone meeting lunch on
Wednesday. Apparently Sunday we said we could, but that was defiantly a
miscommunication. And in the end she felt really sad. So we were worried we had unintentionally offended her, but
thankful Friday she answered our phone call. Sounded happy and said she'd see us
at church. But on Sunday she didn't come, nor did she answer our texts or phone
calls. When we prayed Sunday night on what to do, we just got the impression to
cool it for awhile, so that is what we will do with her. Sad, because we would
have loved to have a baptism this month, but it has got to be on the Lord's
time and not ours. So we just need more patience.
Sunday was a busy day. The two wards combined because a
Seventy came to visit. His name is Choi Yoon Hwan. He served as a bishop in one
of the wards here. It is where he raised his family. Fun to see him and during
his talk make references to personal experiences with the members here. He shard one about Miss Ju dating her now husband. She now has
three daughters, two are in college.The wards I am serving in have literally grown up together. I really like how close knit the wards are here. I only wish I
could have understood what he and his wife talked about, but they both talked
so fast. But Sister Cho gave me a good summary of it.
This past couple weeks I have really gained a witness
that bishops and those called into position really are called of God. I can't
give you the details of the situation, but our Bishop has untangled a really
sticky situation. As a third person I was able to watch him work under the
influence of the Spirit. Everything worked our perfectly. We really do need to
trust in those who have stewardship over us. The Lord gives them inspiration to
help and guide us. And as we follow that counsel given, it will all work out,
because it's God's counsel to us. I know the Leaders of the Church are called
of God and act under the influence of the Spirit.
