Crazy Week 🫨🫨

This week was honestly not that interesting. My pday changed so that's why I didn't send this yesterday. Missionary work is a lot easier in Seoul but also more boring cause every day is pretty similar. We've been teaching a lot of people recently, usually doing 30-30, which is like 30 minutes of learning English and 30 gospel. We actually have a lot of teaching friends that come to church a lot. Like one grandma has been to church like over 100 times now haha but apparently she won't get baptized yet cause she's holding a grudge because some people baptized her granddaughter in America and they all wanted to get baptized together but now they can't so she won't get baptized yet. Idk. But there's a couple other people who have been to church like 10-15 times and they always come but they just avoid us and leave right after sacrament, idk what the deal is haha. But the teaching is going well at least.

We met with this guy named Harry for the first time by texting random people. The lesson went well and he's catholic, but he also sells stuff internationally, and I think he might be trying to use us to get an inside scoop on what Korean products would trend in America so he can sell them internationally. The reason I think that is because he kept asking us what Korean products would trend in America so he could sell them internationally.

Spiritual Thought:

Russell M. Nelson "Overcome the World and Find Rest"

As we strive to live the higher laws of Jesus Christ, our hearts and our very natures begin to change. The Savior lifts us above the pull of this fallen world by blessing us with greater charity, humility, generosity, kindness, self-discipline, peace, and rest. Now, you may be thinking this sounds more like hard spiritual work than rest. But here is the grand truth: while the world insists that power, possessions, popularity, and pleasures of the flesh bring happiness, they do not! They cannot! What they do produce is nothing but a hollow substitute for “the blessed and happy state of those [who] keep the commandments of God.” The truth is that it is much more exhausting to seek happiness where you can never find it! However, when you yoke yourself to Jesus Christ and do the spiritual work required to overcome the world, He, and He alone, does have the power to lift you above the pull of this world.

I love this talk, because it tells us that searching for happiness where we cannot find it is impossible. It often takes spiritual work to receive the happiness that God wants to provide us with, because we must strive to keep the commandments. But that spiritual work is worth it, because you could work your whole life to be happy by trying to obtain worldly things, and once you received it, you'd realize you're not actually happy. Because true happiness comes to those who keep the commandments of God.
