I can't believe its time to e-mail already!! This week just flew by, I don't even know what happened! I'm glad to hear everyone is doing good! I hear you are all going to Mexico without me, and Dad have fun in Arizona. Leasa, thanks for sending me your talk- super good.

Everyone has been asking me about Korea so here it is!

1) The Food is AMAZING. Yes I have eaten gross things, but to be honest I don't know what they are called haha. I think the one I didn't care for the most was raw crab. I thought that was pretty nasty, but I ate it :)

2) The language is still the same haha. I attempted pass off 3 times, but I'm trying again this week... we'll see how it goes. Each day I feel like my language is getting worse, but my companion says I'm improving a lot and my comprehension is better... either way haha I love it.

3) The weather has warmed up a bit. It's been pouring rain today, but I only have to wear 1 pairs of tights instead of 3 so it feels like summer! :) 

4) Our investigator we've been teaching is really sick right now so we have to put off her baptism tell next week probably, either way shes the sweetest!

5) ENGLISH CLASS!!! I feel like teach English so much here!! at first I thought it was a waste of time, but seriously it works to get investigators. Almost all of our investigators we have are because they wanted to learn English. It doesn't always feel like missionary work because we just have fun and teach English - but we get way more people interested in learning about the Gospel that way than we do door knocking. ( I'm sure if there wasn't as much English my Korean would be a little better haha..)

6) Transfers were this past week! I'm staying here with my companion for at least 1 more transfer! Yay! :) Elder Clawson got transferred out, but we got Elder Smith! I'm excited to get to know him more too- his Korean is SO good.

7) I never have time to do anything! I'm so sorry I haven't been writting letters as often as I would like to. There really is just no time! Just know I love you :)

8) Koreans are so funny! I hope to become Korean some day. ( My life long goal)

 

Yeah, I don't know what else you wanted to know... I'm still working on getting pictures of the Top 10 strange things about Korea so you'll have to hold on for those till next time!

 

I'm learning a lot each and everyday. It's not hard anymore, it's just a matter of continually trying to know what God wants us to do and do it. Missionary work is the best. The secret really is work, just forget about yourself and work & love others.

Love you all! 

 

P.S- SARAH THANK YOU FOR THE E-MAIL!!!
