Korean is hard, God is good, I love you all, and the gift of tongues is real

So this week has been pretty exciting.  So the first thing that happened was we had the fire alarm that went off in our residence building this week.  Someone was cooking popcorn and forgot that they put it in the microwave and so the whole entire third floor.  So the whole building had to be evacuated it was pretty funny because half of the people were just in towels.  But it ended up being a really cool experience because we ended up outside for an hour just singing hymns and where else would that happen but in the MTC.

So we have two investigators now  that we are teaching and one is "ejason" and "oh- ming chung"
 So ejason is 14 years old(he really is over 6'6") but he is always falling asleep in our lessons if we stop talking for like 30 seconds when we are trying to remember words.  And so that was awkward and we never no what to do.  But it hasn't happened in a while because we are getting better and better at teaching our lessons. and being able to use less notes for our lessons it is crazy how fast we are improving because a week feels like a year and a day at the same time.  So my teacher called on me randomly in the middle of class to bear my testimony in korean and i was completely shocked and not ready for it.  I just started speaking and i don't remember what i said and i know i didn't say everything correctly but it was one of the strongest times i have ever felt the spirit and i the holy ghost just testified to me that this is where i am suppose to be and i am doing the right thing.

We also got callings this week and i am the music coordinator.... i don't know what the Lord is thinking about that.  But apparently they want me to be musical and they probably will regret their choose later... haha but really it will be good for me.  I also have to teach the relief society lesson on sunday and i don't know what i am going to do without Pinterest, but ill be fine.

So we get new koreans this week!!!!  So our senior district left this week and so our room has been pretty empty and it has just been weird only having 8 people in our zone.  But were getting new people today and so were super exited.  So last night around midnight we heard a know at our door and we got really scared because who knocks on your door at midnight in the MTC.  But we found out that one of the new korean sisters came here early and they were dropping her off.  But she doesn't speak a word or english.  So it was really funny us trying to telling to help her out at midnight because i really couldn't even introduce myself to her in korean.  But i am so exited to have them in our room because hopefully our korean will get so much better.  And we will get better at charades.

So the last night the senior district was here we did korean face masks and they really are the funniest things.

But korean is hard, God is good, I love you all, and the gift of tongues is real.
