I LOVE KOREA!!!!!!!

Hi all,

Jacob asked me to edit a letter from him to go out to the group.  He wrote his dad and me long letters this week, so the group email is a little shorter. Sorry, not sorry. :)   He is doing great. 

Dear Friends and Family

 

It was a good week! We got to learn so much stuff in Korean and it’s great,! I can pray pretty well in Korean, I can teach about prayers and invite people to pray and testify of prayer and it’s power. I can do a lot of things in Korean and it only gets harder! I get to teach my first real lesson tonight to a real person. The person is a member tho so no pressure. It’s all in Korean tho so that will be very difficult! Super excited tho. Our teachers are just incredible. They make it worth going to class when it seems so tedious. So lucky to have sister Holmes and Sister Gardinder.

My comp and I are getting along great! We don’t have a ton of things in common which isn’t bad, but just makes for silences sometimes. He is super energetic and very fun to be around. We can joke around and tease each other a lot which is cool! He is definitely not a time waster which makes me want to be more time efficient! He pushes me really hard in Korean which is super awesome! I hope to start being able to talk as well as he does soon. 

My district is super great! Like I said before we have 7 people in our district. Me and my comp, elder Guthrie and elder Dunn who are my other roommates and they are from Bountiful and Holiday. Then there is Elder hanks and elder Gonzales who are from salt lake area and phillipines. The last one who is sister Urbano who is riding solo and she is 

also from the Philippines. She is so funny and so sparky. Love talking to.

Our zone usually plays volleyball everyday at the gym which is the worst because I am SO BAD AT VOLLEYBALL!  It is probably very funny watching me because I struggle a lot haha. We played spike ball today tho so was sosososo fun. Elder hanks is super good so it got pretty intense. Hmmmm just the way I like it!

We just got some new Tongan and Samoan elders on our floor and they know how to party. We got chants, strength competitions, loud roars and burps, and a lot a lot of love. They are such nice guys it’s hard not to like them really. It is so cool to see the change that happens in these people. You can tell that every one just wants to be nice! 

I see Kallin, Kai, and Jonah almost everyday which is super awesome to have those guys to talk to and be with! I have other guys i know here. Like elder kearl who was one of my good buddies at startalk and is now my stake pres. super cool!

Oh and I just wanted to say...CINNAMON BREAD COMING IN CLUTCH...AKA MOM COMIING IN CLUTCH! It made my entire week finding that cinnamon break in the package! Everyone thought I got new shoes, but I told them it was even better than new shoes! Thanks for the memes and quotes as well, i shared one of them in my district meeting and we had a great discussion about it! 

Love you mom! Have a great week!
