Hey friends and family!

This week was awesome!! But let's be real, any week in Pohang with Sister Oleson is the best! 

So every year our Branch does a talent show and the missionaries do something random and fun. I guess it's supposed to be like the huge highlight of the night and we have big shoes to fill this year! So we decided to do synchronized swimming, oh my gosh. It is so much harder than it looks in the videos! I can already feel all the bruises that are awaiting in the near future!

We got to go to Uljin this week and it was the best day ever. I probably say that a lot, but really, this was. They took us up into the mountains and we had a picnic. The weather here is similar to Utah, so right now all of the leaves are starting to change colors, and it was so refreshing! Like stepping back into Utah for a little bit. 

And one miracle this week. We were teaching primary on Sunday and got a call from a random number. We called back after church and it was this man. He asked if we could give him a Book of Mormon and that he would be at the church in 5 minutes. When we met him, we got to talk to him for a little bit and he told us how his friend had served a mission in Japan 30 years ago, and had offered him a Book of Mormon. He was attending another church at the time and told his friend he had no interest. Now, 30 years later, he decided he wanted to take his friend up on his invitation because he needed something more in his life. It was such a testimony builder to me that we don't always know the impact of things that we are doing now, sometimes we won't know for 10 years, 30 years or maybe not even until the next life. But every leap of faith we take in sharing the gospel with our friends will always have an impact, whether we know it or not! There really isn't a more powerful way to do missionary work than member missionary work! The Lord needs you!!

Love you all!!
Love,
Sister Stout
