March 21, 2022 - Daejeon

 This week was much more of the same, though that may not properly present the diversity of the individuals we have the pleasure of working with. One of our teaching friends returned to his home country, two others got covid, and we found out that two of our other teaching friends not only know each other, but are quite close! The world is crazy, and the Lord is lining up miracles for us one by one and it is incredible to be witnesses to it.


We also had interviews! I don't have much to comment other than the fact that I love my mission president, and he has made a world of difference in this mission and continues to do so.

Today we had a district activity, and it was very fun! We had lunch, went bowling, went to a photo booth, and to cap it all off, we had a baptism of one of the sister missionaries teaching friends. The service was phenomenal, and an excellent example of our ward coming together to overcome adversity, as there were several barricades in the way of this baptism that were efficiently dealt with at every point along the way

I have a spiritual message I would like to share actually given to us by a member. In Matthew 7:7 it reads:

     Ask, and it shall be given you...

"'Ask' in this scripture is a Greek participle.
It literally means 'Keep on asking'. It is a continual process, not a one time event. Satan cannot keep God from answering your prayers. But he can keep you from asking. And when we fail to ask, we fail to receive.

I hope you all have a fantastic week, and don't forget to keep on asking!

Elder Wardle

Hello once again! I may be a day later than usual, but I did not die, nor did I forget to update. This update is coming out a bit later than usual because p-day was on a Tuesday this week. I still don't have much time, so this may be a brief update, but I have some fun updates to share! This past week was the first full week where we are working exclusively in 김제 (Gimje, also pronounced (Kimje), and it has been a nice transition. We have taken on a couple of teaching friends that were previously being taught by the sisters, and we have been getting to know them! They are both sweet old ladies, and I am excited to get them progressing toward baptism.  Sacrament meeting was also very busy this week! We invited some less active members to attend, and they did! So did a high counselor and a visiting family. Our sacrament meeting room was full, and it was wonderful! I still can't understand what people are saying during the meeting, but that doesn't stop me from feeling the spir...

 Chuseok and a Year in Korea What a wonderful last two weeks we have had down in Korea! In some ways it's been busy, and in others more of the same, so I will try to pick out the highlights here I started off the week with an exchange with Elder Wagner. We started in the MTC together, and it was fun to reminisce, particularly as the date of the exchange was exactly one year from when we finished the MTC. We had a busy schedule of meeting potential English interests over zoom, but most of them canceled. We also met an old Muslim teaching friend for dinner. He ended up being 30 minutes late and came with 2 girls we had never seen before. It was a pretty aggressive double dating setup, with too many questions about if we could help get them American Visas, so we took the fact that they were late as an excuse to leave early ourselves for the sake of our "other appointment". I'd heard stories from other missionaries, so it was good to get that out of the way and made for a...

 Christmas is here! I may or may not be writing this email in the last 10 minutes I have before lights out, and I will be continuing on the lean format of last week's email. Anyone with complaints, feel free to send a formal complaint. We went to Jeonju for  interviews with President . Priesthood callings are really cool, and I really respect my mission president.  A  miracle friend  of someone we are teaching suddenly attended one of our appointments, and it turned into one of the most spirit filled discussions I have had in a long time. Turns out she is  also  good friends with Branch President, and loves the light she sees in members of our church, and wants to learn more! According to me and my authority,  Christmas  began last Thursday, and so we are preparing and sharing messages to Light the World! We are also holiday multitasking, and have a huge  Branch Thanksgiving Party  this week, and we want to cook some amazing America...
