The good and the not so good.

My Not So Favorite Things About Missionary Work

-When Investigators punk - meaning they cancel just before the appointment or they just don't show up

-Time - there is never enough time to teach all we want to teach

-When people don't keep committments - especially when they don't read the Book of Mormon. My favorite is when we meet and they didn't read and then they ask a question that is answered by what they should have read. The Book of Mormon is the key to everything. But no matter how many times we tell them. They still don't seem to understand.

-When I'm contacting and someone tells me they go to church or they only read the bible. Hello! This is Korea, everyone goes to church and only reads the bible but I still need to talk to you so please don't walk fast because I'm just going to walk faster because I still need to share my message.

-When people walk fast and don't listen to my message.

-When poeple say, "oh you poor thing, missionary work is so hard, isn't?" or "It is so hot. You must be so hot. It is so hard that you have to be outside in the heat all day and be hot" - yes it is hot. thank you for bringing it up. But really, missionary work is supposed to be hard. I knew that before I came. I am happy to be working hard and I am even happy to be hot. Don't feel bad for me just refer your friends to the missionaries : )

My Favorite Things about Missionary work : )

-Everything! even the not so favorite things turn into favorite things.

-When investigators punk we have a back plan that results in finding new investigators and building relationships with members.

-When we don't have enough time it is because we are focusing on the investigator's needs and helping them understand the doctrine and not just shoving it down their throats.

-When they didn't read - well actually I just really hate that. But I do love reading with them and helping them understand the scriptures.

-When they walk fast I just get a little more exercise.

-When people complain for me I guess it just means I don't have to.

-I love being with my companion.

-I love teaching the restored gospel!!!!!

I know this church is the Lord's Kingdom on the earth. Christ lives and he loves all of God's children. Thank you for all your love and support. Now go read the Book of Mormon!

Miracle!

Dear Family,

Not much time. Sorry. Today we had a sisters luncheon. I got to see my MTC companion Sister Leishmen and all the other Sister Missionaries in the mission. They are all so wonderful. I feel like we are all family. I went on exchanges this week. Thursday I spent the day in Hong-je with Sister moffett who was in the district under me in the mtc. So this is her first transfer. Two people who can't speak Korean together doing missionary work for a whole day - it was awesome! we had so much fun and were actually somewhat successful. We had two appointments scheduled but tehy backed out. So we taught a few members and did alot of contacting.

Yesterday in Mokdong ward we had a miracle. A random high school boy walked into gospel principles class and then after sacrament meeting we taught him and gave him a baptismal date. It was so amazing. Also it was the day all the youth came back from EFY so they all bore their testimonies. Best fast and testimony meeting ever. I loved it! We are still working hard. loving every moment. It was so good to see all the sisters today. Elders just can't relate to sisters so we need that time to share our feeling, lol. It is so fun. I know this is the Lord's work. I'm so grateful to be apart of it. I loved the pictures. Thank you kelly for that marvelous drawiing. I look at it and I laugh everytime. I will keep it forever. And thanks for trying to write in Korean. Not too shabby. Keep helping the missionaries : )

Love Sister Kincheloe
