MTC week 2

Yo Whats up family?!? This week has been super chill and i'm really loving it! I'm starting to understand the korean language a bit more and I'm able to pray, bear my testimony and sorta talk to people. I made a huge list of verbs yesterday that i'm trying to memorize. I seem to have a hard time memorizing korean vocab. It was soo easy to memorize the vocab when I was taking French, but since Korean isn't a latin based, romanized language, it's been really hard. I know it will come though if I keep on working at it. Well remember how I said that one of my companions was kinda making everyone mad at how he was acting?? well we had a companionship inventory (a meeting where we talk about the things that we like/dislike about our companions, and things have gotten significantly better. Well we had our first 'real' teaching appointment in the TRC and it went fairly well. I think we made the 'investigator' a little bit confused because we skipped around a bunch. I think our next appointment will be better. I just need to learn to talk! I sit there too much and listen to my companions. It's hard being in a tri-companionship especially when one of the companions talks for a majority of the time. oh well, we'll figure it out! Well our district has been getting along really well, I think if we were out int he 'real world' most of us would have been good friends. We all like to joke around and have fun, but at the same time we are hard workers. I think it's going to be a successful district! We have three elders going to the Seoul mission, two going to Pusan and two going to the L.A. Korean mission. It's crazy, one of the elders is from Sacramento and he got called to the L.A. mission! I've never heard of someone getting called to the same state they live in. Oh guess what!?!? So i've been doing a bunch of push-ups and pull-ups everyday! I try to get at least 150-200 pushups done a day and 40 pull-ups done each day! I'm gonna be soo big when I get back!!! haha I've also been HOOPIN everyday and it's soo sweet!! I've gotten pretty good at it actually! Yesterday I made like 5 points in one game! (we play to 7) On saturday I was playing basketball and I was jumping up for the rebound and someone accidentally pushed me, when I landed I landed on the side of my foot and sprained my ankle, my foot swelled up a bunch and now I have a super gross bruise along my foot! They gave me crutches for a day because I couldn't walk very well but the pain went down pretty fast. I didn't want to go back into the physical therapy room yesterday because I knew they wouldn't let me play bball, so i just played on a sprained ankle, it was fine. Well i'm outta here so i'll check ya later!! Elder Oaks
