This week has been awesome as always. We were able to go to the temple on Tuesday which is always such a blessing! We passed some missionaries from the Busan mission, who were going to attend for their first and last time before returning home. It made me realize just how lucky I am to be here in Seoul where we attend every transfer. What a blessing it is to have the house of the Lord so close!!
We were passing by this cool shopping area, and saw a mini soccer field set up. They asked us to shoot, and if we scored a goal money would go to charity. I was super excited, my companion not quite as excited. I went first, scored, we cheered. Woo! Then my dear companion went. She shot the ball far over the net, with her shoe going with it down the street. The goalie sprinted off to save both items, and they got it all on film. Such a fun moment. I think the companies name on facebook was "facebook.com/shoot4love". They filmed the whole thing so it may be on there, but we aren't sure.
So our investigator who came to church last week, Ee Me Kyung, wanted to meet this week as well. But when we called her, her number no longer existed. We were super bummed because that was the only way we had to contact her. But we prayed that we could somehow meet again. Then on Saturday, she showed up to English class, gave us her new number, and said she wants to attend church and feel God's love. It was a miracle! She stayed for English class and then came with us to the stake music night|! It's really interesting how different it is here. Each ward in the stake (6 wards) had their choir perform a song, and then had the missionaries in each ward also perform one. The missionaries are so much a part of everything the wards do, it's pretty cool. Our ward had been practicing for months, and us missionaries have been practicing for about a month now on our Hakuna Matata performance. We were the only ward not doing a spiritual song, so we figured it would be a hit, or they would despise our lack of spiritual perfomance. Well, we got there and they had judges and prizes and everything. When we sang, it was amazing!! Our ward had never done that well before. It was extremely powerful and the spirit was there with us. Then it was the missionaries turn. We wore animal ears and performed our song, dance moves and all. And it was a hit! Thank goodness, everyone loved it! We had so much fun! (It's all filmed on my camera, but we can't send videos so you will have to wait.) At the end, it came down to our ward and another ward for first place. And we won! Woohoo! Our bishop is super competitive and had the BIGGEST smile. He was so proud of our ward, and he brought a Costco cake to church the next day saying "Congratulations" for everyone. SO much fun.
We are working hard to find people who are prepared and ready to hear the gospel. We find them everyday. Unfortunately most don't realize it and will need to accept it later, but we are truly seeing miracles everyday. Like the woman we met on the street, who told us that we gave her faith that Christians are good people, and maybe she should rethink her beliefs. Or the less active who wants so desperately to have her non-member family members join her in the Celestial Kingdom. The church is true, God is real, and He is working wonders all around us. I love you all, have a wonderful week!
