Temple Square Referral

Hey folks.
ring ring...ring ring... "hi this is the missionaries from the church of jesus christ of latter day saints. We heard you were maybe interested in hearing more about our church after your visit to temple square?"
"Oh yes, i was just in Salt lake for a Nuskin meeting and my boss just announced that he is going on a mission for his church so i wanted to know more."
"oh wow, your boss sounds like a really great guy"
"Yes he is. I took a tour around the temple and they told us about how families could be together forever and it really touched my heart"
"Yes your family really can be together forever- that is what our message is all about! When is a good time for us to meet?"
"oh maybe next Thursday"
 
Yeah that TOTALLY happened. Blake and I are doing tag team missionary work!!! Thanks for the help Blake!
I heard that the mission has been getting several referrals like that. Can you believe how cool?! I cant.
 
We had another baptism yesterday. Her name is Chi noo. She is 17. She wanted to join five years ago but her dad said no. She decided a month ago that she missed church and that it was still true. We told her she was right.
I love her a lot.
I do not love that the elder who baptized her had to baptize her 1 2 3 4 5 times. NOT COOL.
But it happened and she will serve a mission and have eight beautiful children.
 
I went on splits to Naju again. I got to see my laywer who got baptized a few weeks ago. When we got to his house he was out in his fields. I ran out to say hi and instead of a polite bow I got a hug. I was shocked to see a different man standing in front of me. His countenace was completely different. All i could think was that this man was converted. He was all smiles and laughter.
We sat in his ancient korean mansion and drank disgusting old man tea and he bore me his testimony. It was all i could do to not break out in sobs. I was SO HAPPY.
The next day was zone conference. President and sister furniss are rockstars. I LOVE them. I didnt have to speak and that was great. actually it was a miracle. I prayed the whole hour bus ride that i wouldnt have to speak. They make us do it in Korean! Do i LOOK like i speak korean?!
 
Ok so everyone keeps telling me to get real and say how im for realy reals doing.
Crazy things are afoot at the circle k.
The reason why im emailing so late is because my companion might be going home. Its a really long story and its not really mine to tell but she is having a really hard time. And so am I.
 Pray for us ok? Especially our investigators because im pretty sure some of them think we are crazy due to crazy things that have happened.
just got a call from president. She is staying.
mixed feelings about that.
I love you so much. Im ok. Its just missionary work. Im learning lots of good things. Just not korean... haha.
Kisses,
Sister lund
