Dear family and friends
I will sum up the week by saying it was a week of miracles!!
I will only talk about one though quickly. Today we are going to Youngdungpo to meet up with some other missionaries and go to a meat buffet.
So coming from kimpo I realized the importance of calling former investigators that had either dropped us or we had dropped them. So we called most of them. One of the people that we called her husband is a less active who had served a mission in california. When they got married she promised to get baptized but hasn't since. She stopped meeting with the missionaries early this year because she had a baby. But we called and they didn't answer, we called again and they didn't answer, we called a third time and no answer this time we also sent a text.
Well on Sunday this man pulls me aside and says hey you called my wife a few times this past week. I didn't know who he was andd was in a hurry so I told him we would be right back. We left and then on our way back the relief society 1st counselor stopped us and was elated and explained who they were. When both Sister Goodnough and I understood we were sooooooooooooo happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was a huge miracel!!! We understood, went back and were beaming when we were talking to them. They said the only reason they had come out to church was because we had called. We will be meeting with her to start up the lessons again! What a true blessing and miracle! We may not always see the fruits of our labors right away or ever but they exist.
The other thing I learned is that sometimes Heavenly Father sends us the help we ask for and we are so prideful we turn it away. For example me with Korean at times I receive help but I feel discouraged or even upset because someone is correcting my Korean, but that morning I had asked for help. Well that was Him sending help but I was too prideful too notice. The other thing is that we should always be happy and grateful with what we have. In Sunday School they shared the story of Job and grateful in every circumstance by President Uchtord. I thought about the quote he uses, Job says naked I came out of my mothers womb naked I shall return. In other words Job realized what few of us do. Everything we have is Heavenly Fathers so why aren't we more grateful. When he takes something away it's not because we are doing something bad but maybe because we don't need it or just it's life. But we can still be grateful because nothing is ever just ours. I'm not sure that makes sense but maybe you can decipher it later.
I love you all so much!!!!! Keep working hard!
Love,
Sister Tovar
