First off, I dyed my hair earlier this week, because I just wanted one solid color and my hair was like 4 different shades of brown. Everyone loved it but me haha so it is dark now. Anyways. America is definitely doing hair dye wrong because this stuff smelled amazing!
This was a 2HOUR and 40MINUTE bus ride and we got really bored. and the sun was really bright, and we tried so many times! this is 1 of 2 when are eyes are open. ^^
I learned a lot this week from an investigator that we met last Thursday. She is 40, and has one daughter that is 3. She has been meeting with the missionaries for almost 4 years now. Unfortunately, the past missionaries have not taught lessons, they just read the Book of Mormon. So she thought that was all that missionaries did; come over to her house, read a chapter together, and discuss it. She was referred to us when she moved to our area. So we started teaching her and for the first couple weeks, I was irritated at the past missionaries for not teaching her. 'They ignored their purpose and were wasting time.' She always expected to read the whole time. She was surprised when we only read maybe 1 verse in a meeting. She moved 3 weeks ago back to that area, which now does not have sisters. So we got permission to go teach her there along with the elders. After our lesson last week, we were talking about how the past missionaries really messed her up and now it is hard to teach her, and she doesnt whole-heartedly accept what we tell her unless she reads it. Well, i sat down to study the next morning and realized that is exactly how we should be teaching. Through the scriptures. They are the word of God and they have been given to us 'for our profit and learning'. I prepared an entire lesson during study that used a scripture for every point of doctrine. If she needs the scriptures to understand and accept a lesson, perfect. That is exactly what we want. We want the people we teach to depend on the word of God. We want them to learn from the scriptures and to look unto them for guidance. My study and our lesson planning has changed a little bit over the last week, and it is awesome.
Cloudy With a Chance of Marshmallows:Korea these are everywhere and its awesome.
One more thing that happened this week, we met with a former investigator of the elders last night. He is 57 years old, and had questions about moving to America. Anyways, we were just talking about why and when he wants to move to America. He said that he wants to move sometime this year and I had said 'oh, I'm moving to America this year too.' He looks at me and says 'Do you want to move to America with me?' hahahahah ^^
I hope you all have a wonderful week! I love you and miss you!
