Nuskin Land!

Feb 26th, 2012

ah! my email just erased and now this one is not going to be as good
because i lost my momentum.

I LOVE MY NEW AREA! It's ginormous and so hard to get around but its
not a big deal because my companions a little genious and knows how to
get everywhere and how to do everything including speak arabic,
korean, and probably cure cancer. She is a lot of fun.

I was flipping through records the other day and came across a less
active who's sister used to meet with the missionaries and has a
daughter who is not baptized. Then i saw that she went to salt lake to
for the Nuskin convention and called her up. She answered the phone
and i introduced myself and told her that i would really love to meet
her and her daughter. She then started to tell me how incredibly busy
she was and that she probably was going to be in seoul for most of the
week and that is was very nice that i called maybe i will call you in
a week goodbye. Then I blurted out "MY DAD IS STEVE LUND" shameless.
Then she was REALLY happy i called and agreed to meet the very next
day which my companion said it was nothing short of a miracle- they
have been trying to meet for two months. We met at the church and she
was absolutely lovely. we got talking and she started to bear her
testimony and saying really beautiful things about the church and how
it had really blessed her life and then i realized she was bearing her
testimony about Nuskin. haha. anyways she was at church the next day
and that evening I got a phone call from her sister who was a former
investigator who refuses to answer calls. and now she is a new
invstigator who promises to come to church on Sunday. oh plus my
bishop works for Nuskin. weird.

I sort of crashed a wedding this weekend. It was in this beautiful
restaraunt looking out over a lake. We were a little late though and
most people had left by the time we got there. But true to korean
style the bride and groom insisted that we eat and left their
reception and went downstairs and ate with us. They were the cutest
couple ive ever met in Korea. She served her mission in Washington DC
and is a supermodel. They sat and talked with us and gave us all the
marriage wisdom that they have aquired over the past two months they
have been married. After we ate the couple found out we were going to
our english class on the other side of town and arranged for two town
cars to drive the elders and i to our class. Yeah. Korea is the best
place in the world to serve a mission.

Im turning 22 this week. Pretty much hate that. In korea everyone is
one year older so i never got to be 21 but i refuse to tell people im
23. Ive come to that point in my life where its time to start lying
about my age. 22. I will tell people im 22 till the day i die
probably. Im so happy its spring. I cant wait for the Cherry blossoms.
anyways. I fall deeper and deeper in love with my mission every day.
It never stops being hard- the amazing thing is that i feel like i
overcome one obstacle and the lord has another all lined up for me. Im
learning and growing so much. Im so in love with korea. I was standing
on a bridge the other day for a district activity and stopped a girl
who immediately told me she didnt believe in God. I told her that I
knew there was a God and that he loved her. I told her our lives had
purpose and that she could be with her family forever. It was just a
simple testimony but as I said the words i felt it in my bones that it
was true. I am so very greatful for the knowledge. I am greatful for
the special spirit that accompanies missionaries. That its there even
on a crowded windy bridge. I am so very greatful for my decision to
serve a mission. This experience saved my life. Thanks for the
birthday wishes!
love love love
