안녕👋안녕🤝

There were a lot of goodbye's and hello's this week. I said goodbye to my second son elder simmonsor simpson, as all our teaching friends called him.We had a goodbye meal with 이호준, who played his pen flute for us and then fed us 설렁탕. We also gave him a church tour and taught him the restoration. I think he has pretty bad ADHD so it got off topic a lot but it was okay. We're gonna meet him every Wednesday from now on. He also has a pen flute club so I'm hoping to learn a thing or two on the pen flute if I can. You can see a vid of him playing the pen flute in my photos 

Said hello to my previous and also my new companion, Elder Ejercito! Last time we were SNS together, and this time we will be ZLs together, so I'm pretty excited. We have no time for dance practice anymore but I'm hoping to squeeze something in every here and there to keep up my ability (I have no ability).

We used Elder Simmons leaving as a way to get a bunch of appointments, so we had a lot of teachings this week. Upon meeting most of them, I realized we should probably drop most of them...it's too bad but I have a really bad habit of not dropping people when they don't progress cause I wanna help them progress. But it takes too much time to meet with people who are not progressing so (green dot)️(Gray dot)

On the bright side, 이사랑 came to church again. I asked if she wanted to have a discussion during the second hour, and she said she just wanted to listen to the Sunday school. So I was like okay whatever, but then about halfway through she start coughing (fake coughing btw, it was pretty obvious) and then left the chapel. And then a member went out and came back a second later saying she wanted to talk to us outside. 

So I was like bruh, but I grabbed the member so we could get a member lesson and we taught her. We talked about Temples, and my companion said she should prepare to go to the temple someday, and she laughed. Come to think of it, she also laughed when we invited her to be baptized. But hey she used to laugh when we invited her to church and now she comes so I'd say that's improvement. 

She said I look like this animal. Well to be exact she said "this resembles jensen. I tend to see things as nature." So not sure what that means.

River froze over again 

This week I have been especially grateful for the fulness of the gospel. I read a talk by president oaks a few years ago where we explained why people have a need to attend church in general, and then he explained why people need to attend this church.

2 nephi 28:30 

for unto him that receiveth I will give more; and from them that shall say, We have enough, from them shall be taken away even that which they have.

This week we had a teaching where our teaching friend said she felt that she had all that she needed, and that her church and the Bible was enough, and felt that she didn't need any more, such as our church or the book of mormon. 

There can be truth and great morals found in other places, but there is no other place where people can become perfected through the proper ordinances, performed with the proper authority, that comes through worthily living the Gospel of Jesus Christ which was restored by the prophet Joseph Smith. There is no other church where you can be sealed to your family for time and all eternity. There is no other church where the prophet receives direct revelation from God to help us in this exact dispensation through the trials that we face every day in this modern time. And that is why the Bible is simply not enough. Like the scripture says, God will give more to those who will receive. To those who receive the fulness of his gospel and the book of mormon, he will give the gift of the holy ghost, and exaltation of the highest degree, as long as we fulfill the other steps necessary to get there

Anyway
