안녕하세요, 여러분!
It's been a pretty fun week. I had a fun exchange with Elder Benson, another Elder in our district, on Friday and Saturday. Elder Kang and I are doing really well together. We are super united in the work here together in 신당 (Sindang).
But then...
Elder David A. Bednar came to Korea!
He sure did! This Wednesday, all of the missionaries in Seoul and Seoul South missions got together and were taught by this Prophet, Seer, and Revelator. Some things from what I understood from his teachings are that faith requires action first, then the power will come as we step into the darkness, as faith is a principle of action and power. I got the feeling that it is part of his vision for the church to have all of the members therein be completely self-reliable as far as spiritual things go. He told us about how to pray in a way that truly invites the Spirit and opens the way for action on our part. One of the more powerful statements that he relayed to us is that we do not need to be taught by an Apostle of the Lord to have the mysteries of heaven revealed to us, we only need to have the Spirit of Revelation and the scriptures by our side, and anything is possible.
As far as other things go, we had dinner with 2 different American families this week. Well, I suppose one was an American/Dominican family. Apparently, if you mix pig intestines, a whole pig leg, and curry together, it makes Dominican food. Interesting, huh? It was pretty delicious. With the other family, we had taco soup. It's been a little while since I have even thought about the concept of taco soup. It was an awesome week.
I have the feeling that this week is going to be really, really good. I hope you all have a really, really good week, too!
Love,
Elder Tyler Conley
This was a strange experience... Going across the river to the land of mystery...
