I have eaten way to many Kebabs this week. If you
don’t know what a Kebab is....don’t Google it....just come visit me and we will
go get them! I got them on my exchange (i exchanged with Soeur Rose, she is German,
and has been dying to try on in France) and then me, Suin, Soeur Bentley, Elder
DuPre, and Elder Taylor got Kebabs to celebrate Suins Baptismal Interview...which
she passed with flying colors! Moral of the story: I ate way to much of that
greasy goodness this week. NEVER AGAIN! ....haha
It amazes me how much stuff we accomplish in one
week. Literally we have done LOADS. We started off this week with Leadership
Council aka Jedi Council. It is a training with all the Zone Leaders and Sister
Training Leaders. Meaning I got to see S. Mod and Stevens. It was the greatest!
Soeur Mod stayed the night and it was a party!! So fun to catch up! The Jedi
Council was amazing. We actually watch the video #becauseofHim....clearly I
cried. It was amazing! Jedi Council was extremely inspiring and I grew such an
appreciation for the leaders of the mission! Our Assitants are FABULOUS (Sagers
and Visser) and all the ZLs and STLs are QUALITY! So grateful for the
opportunity to associate with all of them! I also got to see Elder Hapi and
Olivier! Elder Olivier gave me the nicest compliment. Telling me that I he
could always count on me to work hard and do my best and was one of the most
faith filled missionaries he has worked with. It was way to nice of him! I have
been so blessed with the ZLs, DLs, and STLs that have taken care of me! They
are so Christlike! I hope I can get up to their level! At the conference
President talked about the BOM. We prayed to have a spiritual witness right now
that the BOM was true. He prayed for us and the spirit was SO powerful. Unreal.
I can’t explain it. I have been having so many spiritually powerful experiences
lately. I can really feel myself becoming close friends with the Holy Ghost. I
am coming to know him more. It’s a fun journey.
So I know you are all dying to know! Suin was
baptized! It was the most beautiful service I have attended! The spirit was so
strong! As she was up bearing a POWERFUL testimony me and Soeur Bentley
realized how much of a miracle she is. She was baptized in a month...4 weeks! I
literally was there for more than half of her experience with missionaries! The
service was magical. She was slightly
afraid of water (like most Asians) but it went well! We had loads of support at
the baptism. We had such a powerful musical number. Packie, a young adult here,
happens to speak a little Korean. Well she sang a musical number and did half
of the song in French (which is her second language…and speaks fluently) and
then surprised her with a verse in Korean. Of Course Suin BURST into
tears...along with the whole room. It was so powerful. Suin was beaming!!! She
kept saying "I feel like I am getting married today...I AM SO EXCITED!"
She is absolutely fabulous. After the service on the metro she said...."I
think I need to marry a Mormon...I better start looking...So I can raise my
children with these beliefs. To be strong. And go to the temple." #GOLDEN
We are going out to Korean BBQ to celebrate this Thursday! She is determined to
come to BYU. We taught her the entire lesson in French because as I said...she
is FLUENT but has been attending English class so she can get accepted! She is
adorable!
This week was Zone Training. Which was so much
fun! We got to teach half of it. I LOVE teaching. I LOVE it! We taught on the questionnaire
we have started doing while contacting (which is SO inspired! It works
wonders!! we set so many RDVs, get numbers, etc.) It went really well. Soeur Bentley
and I are loving each other...at least I really love her! hahaha She is such a
joy to work with! We are really connected on our wavelengths...its been so much
fun! We ate dinner at one of the Senior Couples homes Sunday night, the
Kennards. It was so fun! They served us a famous dish Cassoulet from
Carcassonne. It was delicious and such a fun night! I am so grateful for
senior-couple missionaries!! They add such a great spirit!
I love my mission. I love being a missionary. I
am so happy. And it is because of Him. He loves you.
