I'm not really sure what to talk about because the MTC is kind of wake up-breakfast-gym-study-more study-lunch-class-study-class. Plus a devotional or two here or there (Which are GREAT! :)) But I forgot my list of exciting things that have happened, so we'll see what I end up writing about.
Things are great again! Like I said, unfortunately I
was writing to you during the hour that I wasn't feeling particularly
great and enthusiastic. I got a whole lot sicker (good English, huh. It's
okay, I won't have to speak it for a while.) after I wrote last time - I
was being stubborn and not wanting to miss class/make my companions
miss class, but they were made me go back to the room. Which was great.
(honestly, it feels like so long ago that I don't think I'm doing the
story justice.) Anyway, I got a blessing and had a good long talk with
Heavenly Father, and everything is good again :)
So on Monday,
the older 동이 (group) left for Korea - Crazy! People actually get to
leave this place! (not that I don't love the MTC - I really do! I'm just
more excited for Korea :) 고리아 넘바 완! ha :)) I miss the sisters though -
they're so fantastic. And we have a new group of missionaries - 5 Elders,
5 Sisters! SUPER EXCITING! I remember thinking that the people who had
been here for 3 weeks and 6 weeks knew so much - and now we're the 3
week-ers. Crazy talk. (for some reason, that's become my phrase of the
month. Hm.) And even though I didn't really/couldn't really talk to the
Koreans when they were here (they left with the older 동이), I miss them
too! I'm so excited for Koreaaaaa! :D hehe :)
Um. Yep :) Language is coming. I can pretty much say
the majority of what I want to say - sloooowly. BUT! It's a place to
start. Next step - learn to understand people. We've actually learned
most of the grammar forms in our little book that supposed to take 9
weeks, as well as a few other things. So it's coming :)
Also, TRC is AWSAH! (see, I don't ever say "awesome" in
English, but it's fun in 한국말 :)) Volunteers come in and we teach them
in Korean. Just, teach them. The topic differs every week, but it's just
cool to teach real live people real live things, for THEM. Again - SO
EXCITED FOR KOREA! :D and It's nice because it's easier to not read off a
script. I don't know,my companions still like mapping out word for word
what we're going to say - I don't really, I'd rather just talk about
what we're talking about, but I guess it's helpful to follow where we
are...sort of :) but in TRC, we finished the lesson pretty quickly, so
we could just talk. I loved it! And one of the sisters we talked to is
from Korea, and her mother is still in Seoul - so she took down our
names so that she could maybe feed us or something if we're in her area
:) So NICE! :) (I can't get tooooooooooooo exited yet, or I'll explode
over the course of 5 is more weeks. BUT! SO EXCITING! :) )
Pretty much, I love my district. Pretty much, I love
the sisters. Pretty much, I love Korean-speaking missionaries. Everyone
one here is fantastic :) SUPER EXCITING! (haha, new tag line?)
Also, EPIC MISSIONARY BROADCAST ON SUNDAY! (Caps are just fun right now. You can't really do that in Korean (as far as I know...)) BE EXCITED!
So, I don't feel like I really said much in this email.
I have too many stories and no stories and too long-ago (a week)
stories. Feel free to ask specific questions :)
Um, yep! Maybe pictures later?
Love you all!
Sister Thomas
