Finished the Book of Mormon

Hello Everyone! 

This week has been great, and it was highlighted by a trip to the temple in Seoul, it was our first time going in almost 6 months and our area is so far south that we had to spend the night at another missionary's house to get there, but we made it!

In the last picture, Elder Kim turned to me and said "hey, do Asian eyes"

Elder Kim was actually called suddenly and asked by the mission president to move to a different area because he was needed there, so the amount of missionaries in Anseong will decrease from 5 to 4 tonight. That also means I will be switching companions, so I will serve with Elder Fehoko for the remaining 2 weeks here in Anseong. It's sad to have to leave the people we have been teaching so suddenly, but I'm glad I get at least a few more weeks to stay in the area~

And I think the last bit of news for this week is that I finished reading the Book of Mormon! It is the first time on my mission I finished reading it completely through on my mission and I won't write a detailed book review, but let it suffice to say that it's the best book in the world. This is a verse from the last chapter of the book:

32 Yea, come unto Christ, and be perfected in him, and deny yourselves of all ungodliness; and if ye shall deny yourselves of all ungodliness, and love God with all your might, mind and strength, then is his grace sufficient for you, that by his grace ye may be perfect in Christ; and if by the grace of God ye are perfect in Christ.."

I'm still pretty young and I don't know a lot, but I do know that I will continue to read the Book of Mormon throughout the rest of my life. Everyone who sincerely reads it will feel something special in their lives and will feel the love of God greater than they ever have before, and now that I've experienced it, it's something that I couldn't picture living without~

Have a great week everyone!

Love,

Elder Bigelow
