Week 1
I am in my first area with Sister Lemons! We are serving in the Seodaemun Ward and Seoul English International Branch. Everyday we are blessed by the Lord! We are teaching people the gospel and proclaiming with all our hearts the love and joy we feel.
In response to this we have received a few funny looks, noticeable stares, warm smiles, peace signs, and lots of giggles--gotta love it :).
Why are we here? Wonderful question. Let me tell you. We are in Korea--paying our way, putting off school, eating lots of unfamiliar food, and learning a super hard language bc we know God lives. He is our Father and we are His children. He knows us. He loves us and wants us to be happy. And through the restored gospel we are free. The truth gives us knowledge and light, to live and to be who we truly want to be. Through Jesus Christ, all our losses are made up and we can overcome all things.
Learn of His gospel. I know it is true. If you already know it's true, strengthen your testimony. And as the truth sinks into our hearts we will more fully enjoy and access the blessings God has in store for us.
As Paul proclaimed, "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ; for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth" (Romans 1:16).
:) Smile and press on.
