Korean Escape Room

First few days in 강남 were great, I'm living with 5 other people and the apartment isn't huge so it's a little tight but we make it work. I'm in the YSA branch which is super fun and we do activities all the time. One activities we had this week was an escape room they put together. I can't even do an escape room in English so it was pretty much impossible but it was still fun

We have 3 actively teaching friends, which is about 3 more than we had in λΆ€μ²œ so that's good. One of them is named Victoria and she's from Uzbekistan and speaks pretty good English. It's nice to teach someone in English because I can do a lot more teaching than usual. If we get to the point where we invite her to be baptized, we're thinking about learning how to ask her in Russian haha since that's her native language. One of our other teaching friends is doing great but is going on vacation to Thailand for a few weeks so we're hoping he doesn't ghost us after 

Spiritual Thought: "Successful marriages and families are established and maintained on principles of faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, and wholesome recreational activities" (The Family Proclamation). I read this quote earlier this week and really like it. When I think of those qualities, like faith, love, respect and compassion, It makes me think of Jesus Christ. And I believe that if we center our homes around Jesus Christ, we will have happier and more successful lives and families. There is always a difference in Korea entering someone's home who is a member verses someone who's not. And I think those principles being taught in the homes are the difference. So my invitation is to think about ways you can include these principles and teachings in your homes this week!
