Elder Ellis: Week 7

Not too much has happened in this bubble! I'm super anxious to get out of here! And they serve the same food every week so I'm really sick of the food. Plus, it's hard watching all my friend's come in and leave. It makes me even more anxious!

The language is super tuff. It takes all my brain power to try and speak it, but I have seen a big improvement this last week. And I definitely don't know enough to go live there! Haha but it will be fun! Every friday we do TRC which is a thing where we teach Korean speakers. They are usually returned misionaries or sometimes native members who moved near provo. And it's cool because they aren't role play investigators, and they are real lessons. This last friday we got to do Skype TRC to a member in Soele, Korea. It felt like it was our first actual lesson and it went super good! We taught about prayer, and had her share an experience. Haha in her report card she said she felt the spirit and that I needed to work on my korean haha hopefully it was because Elder Dickman is so good at Korean. I can't wait to be able to speak it! I never realized the struggle of speaking another language. It is so hard!! I also had my first Korean dream haha, the family was in disneyland or something and someone said hello to me in Korean, and I said, "Hello where are you from?" in my dream and I swear I said it better in my dream! I was pumped when I woke up because I had always heard of people having dreams in different languages, and I finally had one!

Some nights, and especially the first few nights, I will close my eyes and just see Korean everywhere! And it reminded me of South Dakota, when that same thing happens with pheasants. And it made me miss freedom a little bit. But all is good! Remember the most important things in life!

사랑합니다!! (I love you)
