Week 5

Hey guys! This week has been great! And this last sunday I had a great moment during sacrament meeting where I realized I was understanding Korean! Haha I just like came to myself and thought how insane it was for only being in here a month! 

I hear that Melissa is delivering the baby as I write this email! That is so exciting!!! I can't believe how great the gospel of Jesus Christ really is! Being here and growing my testimony has really opened my eyes to what life is about! I have never known just what I have had all this time! And I am so grateful for the opportunity I have to go give the gospel to the people of Korea! The Gospel of Jesus Christ can help us with any of our struggles! And it is the way to return to Heavenly Father and live with our families forever! It's amazing and every person in the world needs it! 

Um I'm in the MTC so my stories are kind of lame, but the other day we knocked on one of the fake investigators doors and when he opened it there were no chairs just some asian blanket in the center of the classroom and he went and sat in some weird yoga sit. Elder Dickman is actually really flexible haha (I'll send you a picture that will show you how flexible he is) but then me being the least flexible person in the world struggled to even get into criss cross applesauce. We started the lesson and after about 5 minutes my legs went numb and I couldn't focus on the lesson really well because my legs hurt. But, I thought it would be rude to not sit like that cause Koreans are weird like that, so I just stayed. After about 10 minutes my foot started like bouncing and spazing out and it was super embarrassing and I could not think of anything to say and totally bombed the lesson! Hahaha so hopefully that doesn't happen in the field! 

But our next lesson with that investigator was amazing. Elder Dickman is kinda scared of him so he did not say that much, but we gave a 30 minute lesson of the plan of salvation and the spirit was directing me what to say the whole time! It's weird how you can feel the spirit with a fake investigator! It was a real booster and I know that I can do this with God's help! I love you all so much you are all amazing! Welcome to The Family Cora May!!!!!!!!!!

Elder Dickman in the kimchi squat, he is a flexible giant. He sits like this all the time haha
