Well last week went really well, general conference was soooooo good!! After the first session, i turned to my companion and asked "why did that go so much faster than it usually does?" I think I was so into it that the time just flew by!! It was great! but what was with all the talks being about getting married?!?! Im not gonna lie, I wasn't a super huge fan listening to talks about getting married!! oh well, they were good talks anyhow and I learned a lot.
So yesterday we got a couple of native korean missionaries and we have more coming in today!! It's gonna be awesome having our own koreans that we get to leave back to korea with!! I really hope they are as awesome as the ones we had when the older districts left!! The two that we met yesterday were really nice but they couldn't speak much english!! They helped correct us on our korean and we helped them with their english!! One of them is actually going to california on his mission and is speaking english! I can't imagine how hard it would be to learn english because of all the sound changes/ exceptions we have. In korean, there are only a couple of sound changes and there usually aren't really any exceptions.
So on friday we had our TRC teaching appointment but we did with other korean missionaries because the TRC was closed since General conference. On thursday we kinda practiced and we realized that the sentences we were trying to say were waayyyy too complex and it just wasn't working out. We decided that during the actual appointment we were going to just make up sentences on the fly and hope that it goes well. It did. We were able to ask a lot of questions about the investigator and so we got to know them better than we usually do. I think we're starting to get a hang of this whole teaching thing finally!!!
Well that's about all that has gone on this week! I love you all and I know that what i'm doing is what the Lord wants me to do, even though it can be tough to leave all my family, friends and school. I know that I am being blessed!
Well, I gotta go, Loveyoubye!
