What a fun, crazy week!
This week was easily the craziest week ever.
We went on 2 exchanges - I left our area and went to another
area . . . twice. We had Missionary Leader Council (MLC), Temple Day, and Zone
Training.
We were pretty busy but we had a blast doing it!
With all that, we were also to get some amazing miracle
lessons.
On Monday, we had our weekly visit with a recent convert at
her restaurant. We sat down and began reading with her from the book of Mormon
in the middle of her restaurant. A man eating lunch close by overheard us and
came over to ask us what we were doing. He asked a lot of questions about our
religion and about the Book of Mormon. Immediately, the recent convert spoke up
and bore her testimony on the Book of Mormon and the Bible. She said it with so
much conviction. Sister Partridge and I were just sitting back watching her
share something important to her. It was a good reminder that as missionaries,
it's our job to not only help strengthen members, but also to support members
in their own missionary work. We were so proud of her!
The next day we had MLC which seemed like forever (maybe
just 7 hours . . . but still). Despite the length, learned so much and focused
on a talk called Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ by Elder Pearson.
The next day I went on an exchange to 이천 (Icheon not to be confused Incheon). Icheon is out in
the middle of nowhere. It's definitely country but since I've lived in cities
this whole time it was fun to experience that. It took an hour bus ride out
there. I got to go with Sister Park (박우림) and with her little English
and my little Korean we got along really well! It was the first time she led
the area and we had lots of fun adventures!
The next day was TEMPLE DAY!! Always the best day of every transfer. It is
such a blessing that I'm in a mission that can go to the temple often.
I'll send another email with pictures :)
I slept at my house that night but then packed again for
another exchange the next day.
On Friday we had Zone Training where we took what we learned
at the leadership meeting and trained our specific zones on it. It was also
Sister Partridge's last zone training - she gave an amazing talk and shared her
amazing testimony. This mission will miss her so much :/
On Sunday she also gave her 마지막 말씀 or her last talk. Then, our
district sang Love at Home with an arrangement that our District Leader, Elder
Thorup, composed. It was really good!
Because Sister Partridge is leaving after being in this ward
for almost a whole year (wow) we have a lot of meals this next week. We will be
well fed this week!
At the Temple, all of her (still-on-mission) companions were
there! She got to take a picture with all of us:
I love you all!
Until next week,
Sister Holdaway <3
