김치찌개 겸 감귤 다이어트

 Highlights: 

Our activities have actually started doing quite well! This was our board game activity on Tuesday, where we usually have only one person come if that. But this time we had a lot and in this picture we have Khazakstan (don't know how to spell that), Chinese, Brazilian, Korean, and American people. It was awesome. Most of them are college students that are going home to their countries in a few weeks cause the semester is over so that's too bad. But in January we'll get a whole new wave of students so I guess we have that to look forward to. There's a college near our church so it is a good place to find people 

We met with this guy joon who wanted to learn English! We ended up teaching him about the Book of Mormon. He said he's been a member of his other church for too long so switching is too hard, but we'll see. He came to English class too so that was good 

As the title of the email suggests, my diet now consists of kimchee cheegay () and oranges. I've never been happier. We found a ton of good 김치찌개 restaurants and now we can't stop eating it. Also it's only $5 at this place ^^

Transfer news: I'm staying in choonchone (춘천) and becoming a zone leader with my MTC companion elder Kerestes. We're not gonna be comps though which will be a little tough but we'll make it work. I'm happy to be staying with my current comp though

Spiritual Thought

2025 general conference "forsake not your own mercy"

our first parents learned, only by tasting the bitterness and feeling the pain of a fallen world could we even conceive of, let alone enjoy, true happiness.

A testimony of the Fall does not excuse sin or a lax approach in life’s duties, which always call for diligence, virtue, and accountability. But it should temper our frustrations when things just go wrong or we see a moral failing in a family member, friend, or leader. Too often things like this cause us to wallow in contentious criticism or resentment that robs our faith. But a firm testimony of the Fall can help us be more like God as described by Jonah, that is, “merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness” to all—including ourselves—in our unavoidably imperfect state.

These paragraphs remind us that because of the Fall, hard times, others mistakes that may hurt us, or even our mistakes that hurt ourselves, are part of God's plan. It is essential that we are in an imperfect state, and that we do make mistakes that can help us improve and keep working towards an ultimate goal in becoming more like Jesus Christ. So when those things happen, don't forget to stay centered on Jesus Christ and turn that mistake or trial into an opportunity to grow!
