Nov 23
This has been another great week. Monday especially was so cool! Often while we are street contacting, (and we street contact quite often) people don't really want to listen to what we are sharing. But it was magical Monday, and we met so many amazing people! One woman was a little nervous as we started talking to her. But we ended up talking for a good 15 minutes as we walked her home, and she was sad that she had to leave. Then we started talking to a lady at a stop light. She immediately lit up and started lots of questions about what we believe. We explained our belief in Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and The Holy Ghost. She asked about what the Holy Ghost is, and after we explained, she asked if we would be able to teach her more about it. She took a Book of Mormon out of our hands and started reading and asking questions about everything. We set up an appointment to meet again, and asked her to read the introduction before we meet. She asked if it would be okay to read about Nephi too, and then ask questions about it when we meet. It was an absolute miracle, and we walked away with an absolute knowledge that there are people out there being prepared. We just have to open our mouths and share this wonderful gospel with every person we see in order to find them!
We also received our transfer calls this week. Sister Evans and I will no longer be companions but we will still be living in the same house. She will have a new Korean companion, Ahn Jeong Mihn, and will be working with all our current investigators. I am getting moved to Jungrang Sisters 1 and will be serving with Kil Soo Ruoy. We are 'white washing' meaning both of us are new to the investigators and area we will be working with. And we will be the new Sister Training Leaders for our zone, something neither of us have done before. It's a little overwhelming, super humbling, and we are excited to work and learn together. We had the same trainer so we are actually 'sisters' here in the mission, and she is adorable! It's going to be a fun transfer! And I'm excited to still be with Sister Evans, even if we aren't companions. She'll get to see me plenty, since we still live in the same house and all.
I was also able to call Song Hyun Young, the woman who was baptized in my first area last year. I haven't really been able to keep much contact with her, but it was her year mark of being baptized so I really wanted to talk to her. She was really surprised to hear it was me, and it was so good to hear her voice again! And we were able to have a real conversation for the first time! We tried last time, but I really spoke..well, very little Korean, so it was great to actually talk to her! She is doing great and I love her so much!
Things are going great here in Korea! I love it here so so so much! There is absolutely no where else I would rather be. Have the best Thanksgiving ever, and remember to look for all that God has blessed us with. He's given us so much, oh how blessed we are!! I love all of you so much! Have a great week!

A couple cool quotes about Thanksgiving!
“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.”~John Fitzgerald Kennedy
“Gratitude is the inward feeling of kindness received. Thankfulness is the natural impulse to express that feeling. Thanksgiving is the following of that impulse.” ~Henry Van Dyke
“I give thanks to my Creator for this wonderful life where each of us has the opportunity to learn lessons we could not fully comprehend by any other means.” ~Joseph B. Wirthlin
