We are shout for joy!

Are you shout for joy, two?!

Hi everyone.

The title came from a hoody that I saw while biking one day. It pretty much made my day - the second line came from the other missionaries making it more fun.

Anyway, this past week has been pretty good. Of course, just as I sit down to let everyone know how it went, I can't remember anything. So, that's all. The week was good, I'm still alive. Hooray!



How mad would you be if that was really it? :D

Mr. Beh got confirmed a member of the church this past Sunday! It was really awesome. We also had transfer - I'm beginning my third transfer today. I'm still in Wonju and still with Elder Lemons. President wants us to work hard on converting the rest of Mr. Beh's family, so that's our companion goal for this transfer is to baptize the sister, his fiance, and his daughter. The mother will then follow! The fiance has been having some word of wisdom problems - she enjoys her coffee and doesn't see a reason why she has to stop. So, we've been teaching a lot about the Word of Wisdom, revelation from Joseph Smith, and how the gospel blesses families if the principles are applied.

The weather two weeks ago was really really warm, so of course the past week has been cold again. It snowed one day, and rained just yesterday. Not as exciting, but I think with the weather bumps we've been going through, some good ought to come out of it and it'll get warm soon enough!

I've also discovered something really neat from the scriptures that I thought yoos guyses might enjoy. Remember my analogy about the roses? I found a scripture to back it up now! Alma 32:26ish to the end. I don't remember exactly right now, but that's about it. It's the analogy of the seed compared to the word (yes, it is the word. Not faith. If you disagree, then you are disagreeing with Elder Bednar of the Quorum of the Twelve. :D). I made a really cool connection about how, when the seed isn't nourished and the sun comes out and withers it up, the plant then must be removed and cast into the fire. Just like the rose, when I put it in the sun and it withered. I knew the value of the plant, thought it could be saved, and restored it back to life through the life-saving nourishment that it needed. Just read the scripture and see how you can apply to yourself! It's fun.

We also got to meet with another lady last week - she's been a regular. She has two little boys that's really really hard to deal with, but she's a really great investigator. She said that she was looking around on the internet one day and saw a picture of the Salt Lake Temple. Then she remembered the pamphlet we gave her, so she flipped through that. It really really caught her interest. She wants to find a way that she can help her children more effectively. So next time, or soon, we get to explain more about temples! It's going to be really cool. I think she's close to baptism, and hopefully we can get a date from her soon as well.

But anyway, now that we're in our fourth transfer, Elder Cameron has given the Zone a goal of fifteen baptisms. Since we're out in the country and this is the "hard place", it's a pretty high goal. We have 17 potentials right now, right at the very beginning of the transfer, so I think that this'll actually go through! I have some pretty high expectations and good goals for this transfer. It'll be awesome!

Anyway, I think that's about all. I'm still alive! As aforementioned. Still working hard, too, and still kicking Satan in the shins. I hope everyone else out there is alive, too! But more importantly staying happy. 'til next week! :D
