Here it is as we received it, Enjoy!
"Well this was an exciting week! It was the Korean thanksgiving this
week so the whole country basically shut down for 3 days! Haha it was
crazy! But the miracles definitley didn't stop coming! Something crazy
cool that happened......Elder WIlliams got a referral from someone he
knew in america that knew someone here. We got in contact with her and
it turns out she is from 전주! The city we are in right now! Anyways we
called her and she said she would be down here for thanksgiving so we
should meet up then and talk. Then on wednesday
she called us and said that her family actually really wanted to meet
us because Elder Williams knew the guy that she had lived with in
America for a month or so. They said they were really grateful for her
having such a wonderful experience with our church in america so they
wanted to meet with us and get to know us! So we went over to their
house for dinner on wednesday
night! When we walked in it was so crazy! It turns out that the girls
dad was a potential investigator of ours that we had been trying to meet
but he had always been to busy! It was soooooo cool! Definitley
organized by the hand of God. We came in and the Book of Mormon was
right there in the room by the tv! Turns out he has been reading it and
likes it a lot! Anyways it turned out to be an absolutely amazing night!
Their family is awesome and we got to meet all the cousins and aunts
and uncles and they were all intrested in our message! :) This is
definitely God's work! Anyways aside from that since the country was
like shut down President asked all the zone and district leaders to do a
three day training with all the missionaries! It went so good! Everyone
learned so much and while we were doing that a guy walked into the
church and said he used to meet with the missionaries and he saw all of
us inside so he wanted to come in and continue learning. He had some
amazing questions and wants to start coming to church and keep learning
more! :) Anyways there were a ton of other amazing miracles this week
but Ill have to share them all some other time! But something I have
been focusing on learning and applying this week is learning by the
spirit! I think a lot of times I find myself studying doctrine, reading
the scriptures, and learning how to be better....however this week as I
was reading a book called 을 위한 선교사 (i think in english is is called
member missionary work?) anyways out of that book there is a story told
about teaching an investigator how to learn for himself through the
spirit and it displayed an awesome 7 step process of learning by the
spirit. This week I decided instead of having my investigators do the
process, that I was going to do the step by step process. It has truly
helped me a ton! After a few little personal tweeks and adjustments I
feel as though I have finally figured out how to learn 100% from the
spirit and really understand the frequency, power, and clarity of
personal revelation! This week I have learned so much and have
understood it all so much more than I have before! I like the idea of
how when we go to school we can study the text books to learn all the
class material, or we can study the text books and listen to what the
teacher teaches and then clearly understand all the material! This is
exactly how life works! We can study books, scripture and other material
to learn about life, how to become better people, and how to return to
God; but when we learn to take our studies and then listen to the
teaching of the teacher personal chosen by God, The Holy Ghost, then we
can really understand anything. The Ghost has a mission to help each of
us through life, he is our personal teacher to life, and he has power
that if we learn to understand and utelize will open our understanding
to all the misteries and questions of this life! Heavenly Father loves
us, he wants us to learn and to grow. He has given us the material, he
has given us his best teacher. Let us not take it for granted, but
instead use it to its fullest! I love you all and am so grateful for
this amazing opportunity to learn, to serve, and to grow! I hope you
have an amazing week!"
Love
Elder Bigler
