What's On My Happy List?

Kyleigh in Korea
mission update week 80 and 81

Monday- Nov. 21st-

It was another crazy and fast week. I'm glad it's P-day! We had a very stressful night last night with frustration with the District Leader and Zone Leaders and not being able to get permission to do things. I cannot tell you how excited I am to not have to worry about being under a 19 yr old boy's authority anymore! It will be really great. haha

We went on exchanges this week. We visited the super humble and cute Vietnamese couple. They went through the temple for the first time a few weeks ago. They had a lot of questions as things were hard to understand with the language barrier.  We made new business cards for our English class. We are trying to start up the Saturday night class again and get more people coming.

I've been super sick. My body is coming home broken. haha I'm pretty sure my back is even more screwed up than before I left. But it's okay. ;)

On Thursday we got invited to go to the South Busan Zone to go proselyting. We rotated with the sister missionaries and went proselyting in different sections for a certain amount of time. Everyone was pumped up and it was fun to see the different methods everyone uses to proselyte.

We got invited to a 12 yr old's birthday party. Her mom is really awesome. She loves to do member missionary work. We got to meet some of the girl's friends, but things didn't really work out as planned. We just felt like we were in the way. It was kinda awkward, but everything I do is super awkward as a missionary so it wasn't anything new. haha

We planned this Christmas project for the ward. We wanted them to read a chapter in 3 Nephi everyday... from the 25th of November to Christmas. If you read one chapter a day it will take you that long to finish. We are trying to get the members to build their faith so they'll want to give Book of Mormons to their friends and do member missionary work etc. The Bishop was for it. Sis Clove gave a talk on it on Sunday. We wanted the information in the ward newsletter explaining it all. We gave the information to the man that does that and we thought he understood what we were talking about. Not so. Oh my gosh. I am done with not being able to communicate. It is just so frustrating sometimes. So that happened, and then the stress with the Elders and I wanna go home. haha

But it's all good! I have one more week in Korea and I'm super excited to see what miracles we can see this week and just have fun serving the Lord. Monday I'll go to the Mission Home. I'll be there all day and we'll have family night with President Barrow. Tuesday we get to travel up to Seoul and go to the temple. We will sleep at the temple dorms. I'll fly out from Seoul for home the next day. I get to see you guys real soon. I'm excited!

Monday- Nov. 28th   

This is it people! 
I don't have much time to email but know that I love you all and I am so thankful for all of your love and support while I have been here in Korea. This has been the best year and a half of my life. The church is true and the gospel is beautiful. The gospel changes lives. I can promise you that. Trust in God and he will give you the strength to endure everything that will happen in your life. I love the people of Korea. My heart is breaking a little knowing that I have to leave behind the people I have come to love. But I am coming home to people I love and it's time. 

I'm coming home. Hide the scales.;)

I'll see you soon!

xoxo

We went to the Saturday night BYU vs. Utah State game.
It was late late game, windy and cold, but totally worth it...
