We got our Korean language name-tags last night, and our travel paperwork is getting started. The weeks here at the MTC have gone by so so fast. It's CRAZY XD so many experiences, so many lessons, some hard days, but SO MANY good days. i'm feelin the love guys. from you as well as our Heavenly Father. I don't know if i told you in the last email or not, but i got a calling! I am the Korean branch 28 Online Coordinator. So all of the new missionaries that come in, i go over the internet rules, show them how to email the branch president, and email home. We just got 4 natives yesterday, two elders and two sisters, and we are getting 23 new missionaries next week! XD so exciting.
So here is a exciting story. Last Thursday night, as we were crawling (sometimes literally) into bed, at like 10:27, the fire alarm goes off. so we all throw a robe on or something and run down four flights of stairs to meet all of the other 3M sisters outside. We were outside for almost 40 minutes in our pajamas, and they finally let us back in to go to bed. someone on the first floor burned a burrito!! -_- hahah that was fun.
the language is coming.. slowly. but surely haha. i said the opening prayer in sacrament meeting on Sunday! so i definitely practiced that! our sacrament meetings are in all Korean. so im starting to understand some of the talks ha.
Today, in like an hour, we are having a Zone kickball/volleyball game ! not sure which one yet! im super excited! I feel bad that this email is super short, o.O but i honestly cant think of anything else! Russell M. Nelson came and spoke at the devotional on Tuesday night! It was awesome. Last night in our residence hall, we had on-the-spot performances by our musically-inclined sisters haha ! we were all sitting in the hallway, and one the sisters is auditioning to be the musical number in a devotional, so she practiced for us, then another sister sang the song that she is singing for an audition, then my companions told me to sing one of the songs that i sing all the time, and then we all sang Come Thou Fount together. it was cool haha. then it was quiet time, and we went to bed.
i cant think of anything else.. I'm doing great, I'm loving it here, I'm so glad to be here, and i cant wait to go to Korea in like 26 days! {not that im counting} love you guys, thank you for everything!
