It's kind of cold in Korea.

Feb 8

This week has been such a great week. And if you refer to the subject line- it has been extremely cold. Yesterday was -11 degrees Celsius, but then you add humidity and wind. Yeah it was cold. But that's also the time we see the biggest miracles it seems, and just assume the weather is Satan trying to stop us! Yesterday we were walking down the street and met a woman who was very excited to talk to us. She seemed familiar, and then she asked my name. I told her 'Gu Seh Rah' which is my Korean name. She looked at me funny, and then said "But I know your real name. It's Wonder Woman!" Yep, we met the same lady on the street again! We ended up talking for about 50 minutes and this time we got her phone number! Then we tried to visit a less active who wasn't home so instead visited a woman we met a few months ago. She was home, and was so excited to see us. She has really been struggling lately and goes in for knee surgery this week. We told her we would love to visit her at the hospital, and help her with anything else she needs. (she is around 75ish) We have visited her several times before, but this was the first time she let us pray before we left. Miracle!

This week was my last zone training, which is super weird but hasn't really sunk in yet. We are really focusing on teaching skills this week, and to help show why they are important, we did the same visual president did at Mission Leadership Council. We offered a moon pie to one of the missionaries. Then we stomped on it (it was opened and sitting on a plate) and asked them to take it. Then we had a non-stomped on moon pie and asked the difference between the two. They were exactly the same thing, but one was presented so poorly no one would want it while the other would be eaten by almost anyone. It was a silly example, but they really seemed to understand. It was really fun!

Everything has been such a blur! Life is good, I love Korea so much. I love my companion, and all the incredible ward members we are so blessed to serve with. This is truly God's church on earth and I am so grateful for this opportunity to share it full-time!! I love you all, have a great week!

Love, Sister Shanelle Seegmiller :)
