Ok! This week has flown by sooo quickly. It is crazy because the days go by slowly but the weeks fly by quickly, it is the weirdest thing ever. I have been meeting and talking to more missionaries that are going to other language speaking missions, some of the spanish elders are pretty fun and the tagolog are crazy. I have found though, that of all the people I meet the nicest missionaries I have met are the missionaries from Korea that are here learning English (for you dad). They really are, and we had a Korean elder sing a solo for a devotional and he was absolutely amazing! Anyway, this week I have been focusing on studying the language a lot more and trying to get about 50 new words a day down. It has been a struggle this week with my companion...I won't go into too much detail but it hasn't been too fun in that area. I had a nice interview with one of the branch presidency and he and I talked about it and he agreed with me on the issues, so that helped a lot. But don't worry, I don't let silly things like that get me down. The best is to just keep pushing forward. We taught another lesson for our TA on saturday and we contacted in chinese again, we all sat in a room with a ton of people to resemble the noise on a bus. It was tough and they gave my companion and I, 3 investigators. Now teaching a lesson to 3 investigators and making it personal for all 3 and not excluding any of them is very hard. But we did it. The spirit was so strong. It amazes me how much the spirit can do, even when we are just practicing. I have been focusing a lot this week on certain principles. One of them being the atonement. It has hit me really hard this week how much Jesus Christ loves us that he would die for us, i still can't even imagine how much pain he had to bear...no my own sins he would have had to suffer, let alone every single person who has ever lived. I also came across in the book of mormon where the prophets prophecy of america and the forefathers and the constitution. It is amazing! 1 Nephi 13. Those men who started this country were truly led by god. I have so much to say but only 3 minutes left of my half hour. I love you all and all the support you continually give me!
I love you all!!
