I Knew You Would Freak Out...

Dear Family,
I am fine! Don't worry about me. Last week, I went to the Seoul again. They found some fluid around my hip joint. The Korean doctor didn't seem to think that it was a problem at all. He told me to just take some anti-inflammatories. I told him that I already did. But he said to just try it and then come back in three weeks. But when I picked up my perscription, I found that the doctor did not in fact perscribe anti-inflammatories, but he perscribed me STEROIDS AND AN OPIATE. My companion was excited for me to take the opiate as I had told her many stories about my MTC experience on Peraset. But since it's a different opiate than peraset, I have a different reaction to it. I just fall asleep. Which was not a probalem before. So I don't take it very often. But really, I am so great! SO don't worry!
 
This last week we had a couple miracle lessons with the younger Koo sisters. There's a rule that whenever we teach someone who's under 16, we have to have an adult there. Last Tuesday, we could not find a female adult to help us teach at all. We were asking everyone. A few weeks ago, we met the stake president's daughter at a stake activity. She just got home from her mission in Pusan. She said that if we ever needed help teaching, we could ask her. So even though she lived an hour away, and isn't in the wards we serve in, we asked her to help. It turned out to perfect because the younger Koo sister (who is only 10) started asking questions about evolution! And our member, who is an amazing missionary, knew exactly what to say. It was so interesting. It seemed like we were going to find a member to help us teach, but we ended up finding the perfect member to teach with us.
 
On Saturay, Sunny called us and told us she could met that afternoon after all. There was no way we could find a member, so we asked if she could bring her older sister. But the oldest sister is still sick. Fortunately, the middle sister is visiting from China, and she came to the lesson. We didn't have a lesson planned because she had called us while we were at another appointment and we came straight to teach her from there. But we followed up on a committment we'd given her earlier in the week to share her testimony with her family. So she shared it with the middle sister right in front of us. That little girl is so ready to get baptized! She loves reading Book of Mormon stories. She told her sister that at first she thought it was weird, but since she keeps reading it, she knows it's true.
 
The only problem is we can't seem to get them to church. Last Sunday, they were visiting their Grandma's grave. But they promised they would come this next Sunday because it's Sister Bush's last. (I'm so sad to see her go. I don't know what I'm going to do without her. She's been such a good trainer and companion)
 
So, in conclusion, there is nothing to worry about here! I'm still working hard. I'm so happy you're having missionary opportunities as well. There is nothing like being part of the experience when a soul becomes closer to Jesus Christ. Keep up the good work!
