May 24th

This week probably Thursday we get out travel plans! ah! I can't wait. It was starting to feel like I would be serving my mission in the MTC. It has been a glorious experience- it really has. My testimony of the gospel grows every day. I always knew it was true but the more I study and learn and start living the principles with exactness I have no doubts. I love being in the MTC and watching especially the elders and see how the longer you are set apart as a missionary and are living in this way it changes you. They carry themselves higher, speak a little softer, and testify with a power most 19 year olds only wish they had. I love this gospel. It is perfect.

So this week was filled with some adventures. We held a meeting for the korean district that arrived a week ago. It was held in korean so I understood very little. I was so moved when an elder got up and as he bore his testimony the entire room was crying. My thoughts were that he must have born a beautiful testimony (which im sure he did) but then as the meeting progressed and uncontrollable sobs filled the room for over an hour I began to realize what they mean when they say that Koreans are a passionate and emotional people. I have never seen people cry like that. It was fascinating. I have so much love for the Korean people. We have so much fun together I cant wait to be surrounded by them! At the end of the meeting the Zone leaders and I were to teach them about companionship inventory and explain some of the higher rules the Korean zone abide... IN KOREAN. and guess what? It went great! My korean was horrible but they understood- mostly they laughed their heads off at us but that's ok with me.

The Koreans call me Britney Spears. I try to not be offended haha.

Ok mom. lets talk about this. Im fine. I eat the cafeteria food. I will be fine in Korea. The reason I haven't been eating is because I had EBOLA and I was dying. I had no appetite. Also the cafeteria food is poisonous and will make you obese. I am the only sister out of eight that hasn't put on at least 15 pounds. Thank you for being concerned but I am fine :)

I gave the prayer in sacrament meeting and it went great. Afterwards the branch presidents wife sister Shin came up to me and told me that I sound like a korean when I speak. She told me that pronunciation is half the battle and that I definitely had the gift of tongues. Im sure she was just being nice but it was GREAT to hear.

my tentative departure date is June 6. Its gone by terrifyingly fast. It has been amazing.

I have a few things I need:

mom I need some colorful summery tops. Korea is going to be hot and i feel like I only brought sweaters. You can just grab them from my closet- remember we are allowed to look cute so dont worry about them looking conservative or whatever- just send me color! ha

i think i have some maxi dresses (particularly a pinkish one) downstairs that would be cool for the summer time- im want to try to get them hemmed. 

i need some tank tops that aren't spandex and light weight fabric

we bought a pink night gown dress thing that i wish i had

cute nail polish! Bright colors please! the ones i brought make me feel eighty

flip flops for the showers

silky garment bottoms- i think im a 26

ok sorry for the HUGE list im just trying to get it together before i leave. I love you.

Sister lund
