January 8, 2013


Hey y'all
So i have picture this time. YAY! So this week lets see there was a small epidemic in the MTC which i avoided. \the Korean general authority came and gave the devotional and we got special seats up front and our travel papers came in. Woot!
So this small epidemic was crazy, our zone was fairly untouched by but of the 57 zones 56 had someone sick in it. It grew really rapidly jumping from 3 to 75 to 150 to 300 in 3 days and boy was it weird. It was so virulent and they were scared about getting everyone sick that they almost canceled the Devotional! They eventually found a solution in having it broadcast to the classrooms and only a few people (like the Korean missionaries) being invited to watch it live. It was really good. We got to  show our Korean to the entire MTC because had everyone sing "I Am a Child of God" and the first verse was us singing in Korean with him and then the second verse was everyone in their own languages and the last verse everyone in English. Boy was it cool. Then he had his wife in the middle of his talk tell everyone why she first thought he was the most handsome man in Korea. It was awesome She said that he was the most handsome man in Korea because he loved the Lord and loved everyone. That is what his talk was about is that the more Christ-like we become the more 'beautiful' we become to those who can see it and would want to be around us. So he encouraged us to love everyone and see them as beautiful so that you will be able to serve them and become beautiful in their eyes because they see Christ in you. Which is an awesome message and reminds me of something "Audrey Hepburn said "For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others. For beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness. And for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone"

Flight plans so i go straight to LA from Salt Lake. Big surprise there. However Mom this may kill you but i fear i will not have any time to call on the 16th in the airport. because we meet up at the travel office at 5:00 and will probably leave around 5:30ish and then i won't get to SLC until 6:30-6:45 and then depending on how busy it is i wont get checked in and stuff until 7:15-7:30 and the plane starts boarding around 8:00. Let's plan on about 7:30 i will call but it may not work but we will do our best and trust God and it will.

Other than that this week has been fun and hard as we all try to remain focused in our excitement to go out into the field.
