Hi everyone!
This week we were excited to have lunch with the elders and Nelson Watson, a less active member in the ward from Hawaii, and his wife Stella (Korean) and daughter Alicia (6 yrs old). Stella isn't a member but she came to church once with Alicia. She said when she is available she'll come to church as long as Alicia wants to come. We bore testimony about Family Home Evening and how family prayer can strengthen our families. Mom and Dad, I'm so thankful we always had FHE and family prayer at home, because now I can testify about that experience to the people we teach! I took it for granted growing up, but now I see how much that can strengthen children and families!
After the Watson family, we visited Cher-Anne, a less active Filipino member in the ward. She was so excited to be able to renew her Liahona and Ensign with Elder Ryu's help and said she'll do her best to come to church! She loves the missionaries and has a strong testimony of the gospel. We felt the Spirit as we met with her and shared our testimonies- especially when Sister Jung shared her testimony- in ENGLISH! She was really nervous about it, but we practiced before and she was great! She said she felt like a greenie because we were talking in English and I had to cue her in for
the testimony. Haha- A little bit of role reversing!
On Monday and Tuesday this week, we were excited to meet with a couple of less active women and get to know them a little bit. Hopefully we'll be able to meet them again soon!
Things are going slowly right now...we don't have investigators, but we're searching, and doing a lot with less active members. But
tomorrow we're meeting with a referral from a girl in Young Women's in the ward. We're excited to meet her and hopefully be able to teach her.
I really appreciate the scripture Dad shared with me this week:
Joshua 1:9 "Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed; for the Lord thy God is with thee withersoever thou goest"
I know the Lord guides His work and that when we put our faith and trust in Him, we will be able to accomplish what He desires of us. Thank you so much for your love and prayers! I love you and love the people here in Jeju-do. I am so grateful for the gospel and all the blessings we receive because of it. I pray that we as missionaries can share those blessings with the people of Jeju-do!

Love,
Alyssa
