MY MTC LIFE!

Officially I've been gone 15 days! 45 days left until Korea, but who is counting? ;) Actually I LOVE the MTC.  It is so much fun.  I am learning to love Korean even though my brain doesn't think that way at all.  My companion is the best.  For reals!

Things I think are funny.

Once upon an Australian:

 I am really learning two languages.  We have SYL(Speak Your Language) days for Korean, where you have to use as much of it the entire day as you can, and I decided P day is my Australian SYL day. It's totally working, totally got someone to think I wasnt from America today, but lying in the MTC is probably a double sin so I caved and said I was just SYLing Australian. So the Sister Tuis (twins from australia in my district).  Have a lot of different words for random things.  Like a marker is called a texter. trash can= rubbish bin.  water fountains are taps. chalkboard eraser is called a dustar(probably spelt duster but that is how they pronounce it). now for a not so random joke.
What do you call 2 melons that can get married?
  Cantelope! well Australians call Cantaloupe, rock melon, which ruins my favorite melon joke...  not that I have that many jokes about melons.  but it really just makes me feel meloncollie ;) jokes... okay sorry those jokes were really bad, but we, who are easily entertained have more fun. Especially in the MTC.

Quote of the day
"I don't know what this is, but I found it on my plate. Do you want it?" -Sister Schur to me referring to some questionable mushy breaded ??????
I didnt eat it.

Uplifting thoughts

Before my mission I really thought I would miss dancing horse back riding family and the rest of my life back home, but the Lord has kept the homesickness at bay at least for now.  I have felt very supported through my short journey so far.  It has been wonderful.  I am so grateful for the Lord's love.

Also, prayer is such an amazing thing.  Our God really wants, to hear from us and he wants to bless us :)  Just last week I asked for help increasing my faith so I was given a trial that required me to be diligent in constantly seeking his guidance, and then Tuesday I asked for more service opportunities, and two MTC guests/investigators(sometimes mormon, sometimes not) approached me asking questions about the restoration and then they asked me if we could meet up later, which was different cause usually they find the english speaking missionaries.  I hope I brought some clarity to their questions and they were definitely and answer to my prayer :)

ALSO my awesome sister shared something on her blog, so i will just leave this here:
"In church we had a class on prayer and a funny story was shared that I thought I should share. So a silly woman is praying and she prays that she will win the lottery. She didn’t win. Then the next time she prays again to win the lottery. Doesn’t win. Then the third time she is praying to win the lottery she hears the voice of the Lord and He said, “Well work with me here, buy a ticket!”

I think the true key to prayer is that we need to learn to be the solution to our own problem. That we can’t just pray and wait for Heavenly Father to fix it for us, we need to pray as though everything depends on God, and then work as though everything depends on us."- Sister Shaver(redhead)
