Im sorry but i dont have a lot of time to write this weeks email. Suffice it to say that it has been one that I will deffintely learn from and grow from. As I tried to focuss on love and charity this past week, things seemed different. When you are able to look at every person and realize that they are your brothers and sisters, then it makes things a lot easier. As we are constantly seeking for the welfare and happinness of our fellow brothers and sisters, we can constantly be in a state of having charity.
However, as I have learned, that is probably one of, if not the, hardest things to do. A lot of times you wish they didnt have there agency, and you wish they would do things differently. But thats just not how it works. Sometimes you just have to do all you can do, in the most genuine loving way possible, and see what happens. You cant make choices for them. It sucks sometimes, but the best thing to do is just pray and not spoil something by constantly pestering it. Let the spirit work.
Next week is virtue by the way. This week has been full of someother very interesting adventures. My companion has decided to take all of the weird food that im guessing the korean missionaries before didnt want to eat. So we've had some interesting meals. One consisted of octopus pieces... but it came out of a box... ya i sent pictures of it. Also, today is childrens day. I dont know what it is but its holiday and ya. Tomorrow is Buddahs Birthday too. The mission is going great so far. Things are tough sometimes, but you kinda just have to get over it I guess. I've actually noticed a big change in my Korean too! So thats been awesome. Well thats all. Ill talk to you all again next week. Love you!
