Music please...THERE CAN BE MIRACLES!!! IF YOU BEEEELLLLIIIEEEVE!!!
So yesterday was a day of miracles!
Baby miracle
I used one of those useless words in my vocabulary book yesterday. These kids were going to go jump rope and so I was able to use the word jump rope in an actual conversation. haha Diligence and patience does pay off.
Teenage miracle
One of our less actives(someone who does not actively come to church) that we have been working with for a really long time who hasn't been to church in over a year came to church!!! I was seriously soooooooooooooo happy. :) and She was happy! She is so awesome. I love her so much :)
Grandpa miracle
So we randomly visited this member's house yesterday just to deliver rice crispies, but she invited us inside. We had other people we wanted to visit, plus we didn't want to seem like we were inviting ourselves over, but I had a prompting from the spirit that we needed to go into their house. Her husband who has been opposed to the church for 20 years, let us, the missionaries, in for the first time ever yesterday. We prayed together and he didn't reject it. And he was really nice! The Lord is hastening his work and if we are paying attention we will notice. :)
Love to you all,
Sister Shaver

Buying a Hanbok and Blessings
July 31, 2016
Buying a hanbok
So we went to the shijang #market and bought ourselves some hanboks.
If you know me at all... you KNOW I am physically, emotionally, and mentally incapable of bartering..... I don't even think I could barter to save my own life... I am so terrible.... On the other hand...... KOREANS are VERY good at bartering........ What is a poor foreign missionary to do who can't barter? Go around and say, "Hi, I am a poor missionary serving in Korea, I only have this much money. What can you give me? I mean hanboks are usually twice this much buuuuut you can have sympathy right?" That would never work right?
BUT it did........
Walked into a store and was like "Hi, I am a poor missionary serving in Korea, I only have this much money. What can I buy? I mean hanboks are usually twice this much buuuuut you can have sympathy right?"
It was a heart changer. she was like. "You are missionaries?" and we were like "Yes, we live here for 18 months and paid to be here and therefore do not get paid. We talk to people about how the gospel of Jesus Christ can bless their lives. She made some phone calls and we got hanboks. They are even fitting them to us! Because... we are too big for the korean ones.......... but really it was such a miracle! We talked to her about her religious background she is a Christian and goes to church and before we left she let us pray with her. She was so cute. Such a great experience. People are so nice and God brings so much goodness to our lives just for serving. I LOVE being a missionary.
