He was
telling a story about a family who had been struck with an accident in
Guam recently. He
explained that they were having such a hard time coping with the accident and he got a little emotional. Right then, BAM, the pulpit just pops and he says, "IT DOES MATTER! It does matter that Jesus Christ lives!!!" At this point he hit full lion! "Because of Jesus Christ, everything will be okay!" Of course he said a lot more, but that part really struck me. It totally does matter. And it is something we should all take into a little more consideration: Jesus Christ does live and because of Him, we will be okay! I, like Elder Holland, really do feel this to be true. This Gospel does matter and if we really do know that, we should let others know that too.

Other
cool things from this week: recently we met an older man who knew the
Mormon Church clear back like 50 years ago when he was a student and he
had actually attended church and really liked it. And for a
about 13 years he has been living literally almost right next door to
our church, but has had a hard time building up the courage to come in. Sure enough, after 13 years he took the chance and he has total
interest. The coolest thing is he is Japanese!!! He is literally the
second Japanese person I have met on my mission.

Yesterday we met with one of our investigators after church who
had come for the first time last week, and we had a great discussion
with him. During our conversation, he said some of the dopest things I have ever
heard out of an investigator's mouth. While reading a part in one
of the pamphlets that literally is just talking about Jesus Christ's
church, the word baptism comes out kind of softly, and he looks up
at us and says, "By the way, I am still good for baptism next month
right?" In our first real lesson. Uh yeah sure! Then later we
were talking about the Spirit World and where he thought we would go
after we died. He thought for a second and then replied, "I think it
would be a pretty good idea to go and find all of the old prophets like
Joseph Smith, and then with them go and find God so we could be with
Him." Heck yeah! He is so sick!
Anyways,
things are doing well here in Seoul Korea. I love this place and I
absolutely love the people. Wish I could be here forever.
I love you all as well! Of course.
