The world is lit

I love #LightTheWorld! It's such an easy reminder to do those little things that make a big difference in our individual lives. And it helps us to minister like the Savior did, one by one.

Hope you're having a great Christmas season! Keep lighting the world!

Trick or treat

Since Halloween isn't really a huge thing in Korea, Sis. Bae wanted to know about what we do. As i explained it to her, it started to sound familiar in an eerie way...

Putting on special clothes: check! Knocking on doors: check! Getting surprised at every door: check! As missionaries, we're surprised when people actually open the door and talk to us or let us in. We're also surprised at how many people don't want to talk to us and let us in.

Could one, therefore, infer that being a missionary is like Halloween? Every. Single. Day?

Hashtag

So there's this quote (and hashtag!) that have been in the news a lot lately. It reminds me of something that missionaries all around the world do every day.

Mysterious ways

After talking with the couple that answered the door, we found out that the lady we were looking for had moved! I was all prepared to be disappointed, but they (1) had the address, and (2) were interested in what we had to say! They thought it was really funny that Sis. Green didn't know much Korean, but they were really impressed that she was willing to try — and that made them want to know more!

They gave us the address AND made a return appointment? Who could ask for anything more?

Door approach

OK, so Sis. Green is brave — but she still needs to learn the language. She got us in the door, though. When they answered, they thought it was pretty funny that she could only remember how to say hello!

Stage fright

I don't know what happened! I've been knocking on doors and talking to people forever, it seems like. But for some reason I got really, really, really nervous when it came time to knock on this particular door. I don't think it was the Spirit telling me not to, or somebody else trying to stop me. I just got scared! Good thing I have a brave companion!

Best night ever in Daegu!

So the time we spent with our new investigator, Sis. Choi, was MARVELOUS! The spirit was so strong there, and she was so ready to hear everything! Being part of something like that, to be an instrument in the hands of our Heavenly Father, is beyond words! 

That's unusual!

Oh.
My.
Goodness!

You won't believe how crazy it's been! There's so much to tell and I just haven't had time to sit down and write about it! I only have a few minutes now, but let's catch up a bit!

So, when we last met, Sis. Han and I were knocking on doors and we just got in to see a lady who thought she knew us. Here's where we left off.

It was so exciting to (a) get in a door, and (b) have somebody not only excited to see us, but someone who REALLY wanted to learn more!

That's kind of crazy (in a good way), right? Like, she thought she KNEW us? How awesome is that!

I'll tell you more in just a bit!

A familiar face...!

Nobody

It's interesting how many people I've talked to who aren't there. It's almost a game among missionaries to guess what the excuse is going to be when we knock on a door. The top excuse is "nobody is home," followed by "the baby is sick" or we already have a church." Then there are the folks who let you in. I like them!

Entering the not normal

So we had an experience the other night when we were out teaching. We had a little extra time before we had to go home, so we started knocking on some doors.

More to come!
