Elder Wardle's Mission Letter

 Merry Merry Christmas!!! Merry Christmas to everyone! This week of my life was crazy and absolutely unforgettable. I'll try to express that through a short little message, but I don't think I can, so just know that God is so good, and His plans are so much better than my own! I also can't get my thoughts to fit in smaller bullet points this week, so you will be getting a more long-prosed edition this week. I really hurt my ankle last preparation day, and it really hurt  for about two days and grew to the size of a small melon. But a comp offered priesthood blessing followed by a day full of sitting at zone conference ended up being just what was needed, and I was walking fine the rest of the week. A slight cold came upon us in the middle of the week, making us very tired. Also, the biggest snowstorm Namwon had seen in years also came upon us, snowing consecutively for more than 55 hours! Because of that, our  schedules were destroyed and then built from the ground up wit...

 A Dozen Updates in 5 Minutes Hello again from the wonderful land of Korea! I'm running on another time crunch before lights out this week, but this was not due to any procrastination, but rather I had so many amazing emails to respond to before I could get to this! Thank you to everyone that emailed me on my birthday; you all totally made my day. Anyways, here is a speed update of a very busy two weeks! I made kimchi with members.  Its called 김장 (Kimjang) in Korea, and it is a huge cultural thing I thought I was going to miss out on. But last minute a member invited me to come and help his entire family! We had a big snowstorm in Korea this week, and  We got a whole 2 centimeters in Namwon.  But we were in a different mountainside city during the storm, so on my birthday we had a full hurricane snowstorm and I was so happy. Our teaching pool is the largest it has ever been! We are busy teaching people the gospel, and none of these people have attended church ye...

 Gospel Carpentry and Belief Intestines Good evening, or morning or whatever time it is on the lovely spot of the planet God has granted to you today! I hope the title of  this week's entry isn't too offputting. Those are just the names of two businesses we have seen here in Namwon, as well as Belief Mart, and Faith Preschool. It just goes to show that Namwon really is the promised land! Here is a rundown of this week in Namwon: We are finding people to teach, and while most of them are interested in learning English above all else, it has become an opportunity to have  Members, less actives, and our friends meet at a new English class in Namwon! Our friend who we have been working to prepare for baptism before the end of the year  just isn't ready , and that's OK! We are here to help her where she needs us and no more. But the hunt for the elect continues into December as we hope to fulfill an invitation given by our mission president to baptize someone before this ...
