Hello!!!(from the other side of the worrlllddd) 

It has been one awesome week! This week has definitely been my most favorite week. It has gone by so fast because we just have been doing so many things! 

My comp and I have really good companionship studies. I really look forward to them because we have good discussions and they are really uplifting and wholesome. I can see why we do them. If you only have your perspective of the things you are learning, how will you be able to see out of your little sphere?

I got an amazing package from the ladies in my ward that made my week 10 times better! Really grateful for the love from them. 

We had a realy funky experience this week. We got a call at like 7:30pm from a random guy saying that he was at the church and he had a book of Mormon. As two energetic missionaries, we were really excited and had the idea and vision of one of those miracle stories we hear about in conference. We get to the church and start talking to the man. After a little bit, we find out he wants to give it back. He gives it back and then proceeds to lay down some major spooky doctrine....untrue doctrine of course...He informed us that Jesus Christ was in Korea right now and was visiting all of the places. He told us that everyone knows about this and was so surprised that we didn't. With the smell of beer that was kindly coming from his mouth into our noses, we listened for almost 20 minutes. He finally said goodbye after that and left. We barely got one sentence in. The funniest thing about this story is that I literally understood nothing he was saying so I wasn't sure if he was actually talking about something cool and spiritual, or something completely wack. Turns out it was the latter. Maybe the most wasted 20 minutes of my mission. 

On a better note, we had another lesson with Alex. Teaching in English may be the best thing in the world. We really had a good discussion about the 10 commandments and how repentance is so important. He basically lives all of the commandments already and repents everyday through prayer so it wasn't a big deal for him. He is a prepared soul.

Saturday's English class was very awesome! I got to sit at the advanced table so all the Koreans there were basically fluent. We discussed about why Koreans marry later in life and they were very interested to hear about when Utah people get married. They pried me good about me high school love life which was kinda weird. We ended up talking about whether marrying for money or marrying because you actually love your spouse is more important. Sad to say, we disagreed. They really believe money is more important. Super sad, but I think I got a seed of curiosity planted in their brains about my culture. 

One of the reasons this week was so great was because we had good breakfast! I really don't like having cereal for breakfast every morning, so I cooked hot breakfast every morning for me and my comp and things just seemed to be better! The Power of  Good Breakfast.

One thing that I My older brother Andrew has taught me about missionary work is that your faith  and obedience will never affect the agency of others. I have already seen missionaries getting distressed because they are showing great faith in the work and no one is getting baptized in their area. I have a testimony that the Lord prepares people on his timeline. If we are faithful and worthy, those people will be put in our path not sooner of later than the Lord wills it to happen. It is up to us as missionaries to be able to rise to the occasion with the Spirit of God radiating from every word and deed to bring those prepared children of God to the knowledge of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ.

Love you all and have a great week!
