This
week we had a break from the daily teaching which gave us time to recover and
work on tasks we put on hold. We each adjusted the content of our
review course to fit into the compressed teaching schedule we will have at Camp
Boniface next week. We prepared all our handouts to be printed here before we
leave.
We shifted
responsibility for the Monday and Thursday meetings with the soldiers since we
will be gone. It was fun to watch the soldiers plan to meet at a favorite
restaurant in Uijeonbu on Monday to treat the missionaries and take advantage
of a rare day off. It will be Super Bowl “Monday” in Korea and the Army doesn’t
pretend the soldiers will be working while the game is being played.
We spent a little extra time at the
USO helping out with their USO 76th anniversary party. Wayne added a
new skill to his list by sharpening the dull cutting knives.
We still did a bit of teaching.
Wayne worked with one of our students with his math preparation to take his
exam. I met with the Korean in the US Army and then with the missionaries with
our neighbor. The one-on-one tutoring is my favorite because of the closeness
with the student. Our neighbor asked me a question while she was practicing
English conversation and I experienced the blessing of listening to the Holy
Ghost answer her question through me. The missionaries followed with their
spiritual message and my neighbor was able to articulate that she could feel
the Spirit with the elders and with me. She left asking more questions about
the church so I hope to see her again when we return from our week at the Demilitarized
Zone.
Saturday,
we were blessed to make the trip to Seoul to visit the temple and enjoy the
instruction and peace that are found there. Sunday Wayne taught a Temple
Preparation class and I taught the Relief Society lesson. Wayne did the
semi-annual financial audit for the branch and we were interviewed by a soldier
for a class assignment. It’s a good thing it was fast Sunday and we weren’t
trying to find time to eat. Now to prepare for our week at Camp Boniface.
I love you! Be safe this week!
