Well I hope everybody is having an amazing conference weekend. And if everybody is wondering I will be attending conference this next week. Korea has to wait one week for translation but it's amazing how fast it gets done and how fast we can get it. Well in Korea everybody meets at the stake centers to watch all of conference and it's such an amazing weekend. It seems like last week I was up in Suwon with Sister Kim and Junesoo coming out to General Conference but turns out that was 6 months ago. Time needs to go a little slower right now. Just my opinion.
Anyways this was a very fun week so far. I still feel like I'm terrible to Elder Hughes but he's just doing amazing. We have been out all the time that we could because we had a busy schedule this last week with the new training program, service opportunities, spending time with member's, and helping our little Korean companion Elder Kim get ready to go. That was some sad news is that Elder Kim is probably on a plane right now on it's way to Utah still. Well it's really good news because I'm really excited for him to go to Hawaii but I'll miss our little Korean member of our family here in Jeonju. We also were able to go out and visit a lot of members this week and work with them a lot. Our new Bishop who has come into the ward has just been so amazing with helping the ward's missionary work to get going. We spent some a lot of time inside our member's house this week teaching our lessons to them and they had such a great time it seemed like. We have been building some relationships with our member's and it makes the biggest difference in the world. We spent time moving a couple hundred 80 pound bags of salt for member's this week and some of them told us that if we don't call them to have an investigator over for dinner in the next couple of weeks that they would be sad haha. And I also came to the realization that I have been in Jeonju since early December. And I really want to just stay in Jeonju forever and I hope I can be here longer. Time is flying by right now and it feels like I can be doing so much for everybody in this area and I love everything about it. I feel like I just need more time for everything these days but by the time I hit my bed on Sunday night I'm just gone haha. I love everything about my mission and the people I'm meeting everyday in Korea. I have also just grown to love the gospel and especially relying on it more than I ever have before in my life. Doing weekly trainings these past couple months have just made me focus more on a lot of the things I wasn't focusing on a lot before. It has been such an amazing time to just learn at all times and I'm so grateful for that knowledge that I have always feel like I have lacked.
And Elder Hughes my new companion has been just amazing. I feel like I'm learning just as much as he is these days and we have just done nothing but work this past week. He had a very busy first week and we're going to try and do even better this week. I also feel like I have just been horrible to him haha. I thought of me standing on a diving board when I was little and my Dad in the pool telling me to jump and that he would catch me.... but he didn't haha. But hey I can swim now. But don't worry Elder Hughes has just been amazing. He was the first group of missionary's to come out of the MTC with only 9 weeks of training compared to the old 12 week program and he has just amazed me. He has such a strong testimony and he came out here to get to work and it has been a great week already.
Well I love all of you and I hope you have an amazing week because I know I will.
