How is everybody doing?! Happy Halloween!
Thank you for all the yummy treats! Lily looked so cute as Dorthy! I
wore the eyelashes that you sent (they were made South Korea, actually)!
The lashes were so long and the Korean Sisters LOVED them haha. They
said they would wear things like that in Korea.
This week I am defiantly learning how to be patient.
Korean is so hard, and there are so many things that I need to learn.
It is going along pretty well, but it is definitely difficult. They are
teaching us high form in our classes, but all the Koreans speak in
middle form. So since we have the Korean sisters here I am having them
teach me things. I am also having them listen to how I talk so that I
can make the accurate sounds. It really is a great language and it is
really mathematical. There are a lot of words to memorize, and people
speak super fast!
We had a lesson with our investigator a couple days
ago. (Our investigators are our teachers). We were talking about baptism
and our investigator was like I have already been baptized. I then
tired to explain to him that it needs to be done with the proper
priesthood authority. He is understanding but then says he has the
priesthood. Because we speak little Korean, Sister Mathieson says, "Our
church has the priesthood. Your priesthood doesn't exist." Our
investigator Paul starts laughing and then she says, "Sorry." Paul, our
investigator/teacher, starts laughing really hard and he completely lost
character. So that lesson didn't go as well as we had planned. Sister
Mathieson asked for feedback after and our teacher brother Gunnel said,
"You told me that the religion that I believed in my entire life was
false and that our priesthood is fake... how do you think your
investigator would really feel." Haha it was really funny because we
definitely have a lot of Korean to learn!!!
I decided to take a challenge to read the Book of
Mormon while I am at the MTC. I got a basic one and I am writing all the
things I learn in it and all the things that I don't understand. It has
been super helpful and I actually am understanding what I am reading
and I am getting a better understanding of everything! I love it!
I am really surprised about how fast I am learning the language, even though I don't know very much!
It's Sister Parola's Birthday tomorrow! She is really excited! Thank you for sending her things for her birthday!
