Oct. 26, 2016--MTC--What's Up Fam?

Sounds like eveybody is doing good so thats really good. <3 where to start... so the beginning of this week was kind of a bummer just cause i felt pretty inadequate and bummed that i couldn't learn the language faster. but as time went on and as i prayed for help i had a thought come to my mind and it said "you don't need to worry about anything. If the Lord wants you in Korea you can learn the language of those people. You just need to work as hard as you can and have faith." so thats exactly what i did. I have studied super hard (not just the language, the scrips too) and it's been really really good. Me and elder lam taught another mock investigator in Korean with no script this time to act in faith. and it went really good! Korean words would come to my mind that I didn't even remember i heard! it was awesome. Faith is definitely a pretty basic principle but it is SOOOOO HUGE. through faith you can have a knowledge of all the things of the church. Like the story of Enos how he grew up knowing the fullness of Christ's gospel from his parents and he wanted to know for himself that the gospel was true so he decided to go hunt for beasts one day and he "knelt before his maker" and cried unto him all day and even when the night came he continued to pray in faith until he finally received an answer and through his FAITH he was made whole. So yeah faith is a pretty big deal. but it has to be paired with works or else its dead. haha anyways. everything is going good and my comp and district are both awesome. so are my teachers sister (cha-me-nim) choi and brother (hyun-je-nim) watts. Watts hyun-je-nim was actually the mock investigator haha. but he acted so good like a real person that was interested in the church. He gave us questions and stuff and we tried to answer as much as we could with our limited but inspired language skills haha. but yeah everything is solid. I get homesick sometimes but it's not like I NEED TO GO HOME RIGHT NOW its just like yeah i miss home a lot but i know this is where i need to be. Seriously this is such a great opportunity to give all my time and efforts to the Lord and to help people come closer to Christ. anyways. I love you all and I'll email you next week!
