Week 53 - 고마워요!
So the first thing I want to say is thanks for the package. I got it this week, on Wednesday, which happened to be the same day as transfers. But there is nothing to worry about. Since our whole house stayed the same so it's like it never happened. Well anyways, About this package, I think that the best thing I got was the pictures. Even though I can't eat them everyone was excited to see what my family was like. I enjoy looking at them, but not too much other wise I start to feel a little homesick or now I can say Trunky. So, Thank you so much for that. It reminded me of how few pictures I've taken during at this time and how I need to improve on that.
Well this week was a fairly good week if I do say so myself. 김문종 how ever is still not fully committed in the decision to stop drinking. But he at least knows that he needs to stop. Every time he slips up he tells us about how much trouble he gets into with his wife. I just hope that he will realize sooner than later that he needs to change and has the strength to quit. He is a good man and has increasing faith in God and the gospel. I'm just hoping that he will have a greater desire to change his whole life and eventually help his wife to live in harmony with the gospel. This week or I mean today is quite nerve racking since they went into the hospital. They're seeing if they can still have kids through some expensive process. So it will still be their own kid. This is such a stressful time for them and it's been on my mind almost all day.
Also new this week, we got a new Bishop this Sunday. I can't quite remember his name at this moment though. We're hoping that this change may bring back some of our ward members. It's so sad to see, we meet new people almost every Sunday but the number of those who show up just keeps getting smaller and smaller. Also the ward may combined with a near by ward if things don’t change and the members kind of don't like them. Ah... there are only two of us but it seems that we have so many people looking at us for support. This can be alright, but doing it all the time just wares someone out. But I love this ward. It seems that at least they are trying.
Also I learned about this fun game in Korea called Go-Stop. It is so much fun, but it's so difficult to play. 김문종 taught us one time how to play it and while we tried to help him find strength in not drinking. Also the weather here has gone crazy... Well I just found out that there is more bad news. Not about me but 우지연, 김문종's wife. They got the results back and they're not good. I'm not sure of how bad it's, but she is very depressed about the matter. Well I hope that they can overcome this.
I love you... and also all the others in the family. It just sounds so strange to hear about all of the changes that have happened in just one year. I never thought that this could be, but I guess that life always moves onward. I'll still pray for you daily and hope that you and everyone else will be alright. I also miss you.
Bye...
Week 54 - 그소포를 보내기 대문에 정말 감사합니다!
(I decided not to change this email in any way. I couldn't help but smile as I read. I love the fact that he is losing his ability to correctly speak English. In fact in my mind I can hear him speaking with a new wonderful Korean accent . )
Oh! Well a about that easter package you sent... 그소포를 보내기
대문에 정말 감사합니다! Even thought we haven't used the Toys
that were inside so much they did keep use entertained for
awhile. The cookies were good, we haven't had much time to
really cook since we live outside our area. But we did use
them... So good. some time i forget what food taste like
without gochjang. I sad to hear that packages are so expensive.
But I know that must mean love me enough to pay the extra.
I love you too mom. I wish I'd show you more of how much I
really do. there is so much that you have done for me. During
conference it reminded me how home. And I was so surprised
about the number of talks there were about families. Well
anyway I think that I also like the priesthood session the
most too. there was so much about using the priesthood and
how men aren't using it in their homes. wow, during that
whole thing i thinking about how I should have asked for
blessing more often in my childhood.
Well this week was soooo long waiting for conference to
come. it use so hard to focus. it's like christmas but the
whole meaning of this holiday is understood. we get to rest
from our labors and feast upon the words of the prophet. I
never knew how great conference was until going to Korea.
We even got one of our investigators and his wife to come
with us, 김문종 and 우지연. He seemed to be a little bored
during the whole thing. I knew that would happen, He is
not that mature. But his wife seem to be listening very
closely from time to time. It started out rough since we
watch it in korean. I didn't understand a thing. the
speakers spoke so fast that it was difficult to understand
what was going on. But it was all worth it since 우지연 was there. I'm hoping that maybe we can start teaching her as
well. The saddest thing happened though. The day after
during the Sunday session we got a call from him, 김문종. He told us that he was with some of his fellow co-working and
they convinced him to drink. This is the only thing that is
keeping back from being baptized. he has the desire and he
is willing to follow but the drink is holding him back. I
have a feeling the he needs to learn to say "No" before he
get baptized. But he thinks that if moves companies he'll
be fine. I'm so worried that he is scarred to lose his
reputation and respect of his co-workers. I also feel that
the temptation is not going to leave him if he moves. just
that it will be worst for him to begin with no relationship
were they may not even care to have him be welcomed. well
enough worry, It seems you have to much already without me
adding more to the chaos. I'll do all i can for Rhylie, pray. (she's taking her driving test soon) and Tell Stephen that i love him and that he should be a good boy. well time time
is growing short. 사랑해요!Bye...
