I have been truly impressed
by how much the Korean people are teaching ME while I have been here.
The Korean people are truly so service oriented and full of so much
love. I have noticed how naturally and willing they are to serve those
around them. One example I saw this last week was while I was sitting on
the bus. I observed while 3 Korean women ran onto the bus and swiped
their cards. When the last lady swiped her card it beeped and informed
her that she was out of funds. I watched while she dug through her purse
looking for change while another women ran up to her and swiped her
card for her. Just a small example but I was so impressed.
Another
cool experience I had this last week was while Sister Bonney and I
stopped at the mart to buy a couple snacks. a man came up to us
insisting that he buy our snacks for us. We were so confused. As I was
trying to give him money to pay him back he said "use it for someone
else" He said "I am a bad person, and I appreciate the good work that
you do" I think he was a little drunk.. but like I said before Even the
drunk people in Korea are nice!
The man on the
street with the many dogs who wants to buy us shoes gave us 2 huge boxes
of cornflakes this week. The biggest box of cornflakes I have ever seen
possibly.
I will share a quick miracle!
A
few weeks ago the Elders were contacting when Elder Jackson got the
impression to stay on the street. They were about to go to dinner but
for some reason he really felt he needed to stay. A few moments later, a
lady came up to him asking him if he still teaches english. Apparently
10 YEARS ago she went to our english class. Well Long story short,
Sister Bonney and I are now teaching her. <3 She had the opportinuty
of going to Sister Kims baptisms and while she was there she had the
most incredible time and felt the spirit so strongly. She asked us if it
was possible that she could be baptized also (probably the greatest
thing any missionary wants to hear) We told her that we needed to meet
with her a few times first and teach her more about our church and she
sounded excited. We have now met with her twice and she is slowly
progressing! She has been such a miracle!
There
have been so many more miracles that I have seen while I have been here
and I wish I could share more but I am out of time!
Quote of the week from my incredible trainer: "As long as we don't do anything stupid, God's will will turn out just fine"
P.S
If you haven't watched the General Womens Conference... DO IT. It was
incredible. plus there are cute little korean girls in hanboks (korean traditional dresses) singing I
love to see the temple in front of the seoul temple so if that doesn't
make you want to watch it... then I don't know what will<3 I love
Koreans.
I love you all so much! Have the best week ever! Serve someone in need (so everyone)<3
Love Sister Hurley
Funny Moment
Yesterday while we were updating our blog for our english class (yes we have a blog by the way... maybe I told you already) but we went on lds.org becasue we were going to put the restoration video in korean on the blog when the Sister training leaders in our district called us to see how we were doing. They asked us about the Elders in our Branch and if we had any concerns about working with them. At that exact moment Sister Bonney said, " AHH It's just the biggest temptation!!" hahaha I was soo confused until I realized she saw the General conference link on lds.org and she wanted to watch it so bad! (we have to watch general conference a week later because they need extra time in order to translate it into Korean) Anyway... just thought I would share! I thought she was saying that working with the elders was just the biggest temptation but really she was just excited to watch general conference:) |
