I HAVE SOOO MUCH TO TELL YOU!!
We got our travel plans!! AHHH! Im actually leaving! We leave at 1120 on june 6 and fly through seattle and then straight to Seoul! we land at 5:35 on june 7. We are flying Korean air and i am very happy about that ( i know you are jealous ry, ill make sure to say hi to the flight attendants) hahahaha. I really dont know when ill have an opportunity to call but maybe around ten on the sixth? AHH you have NO idea how excited I am!! The past week or two have been pretty rough. My Korean is embarrassing and I wasnt excited at all to leave. I was feeling so discouraged. I read this talk about Elder nelson having to act on faith to preform a new kind of heart surgery. It wasa perfectly put in his mind what the correct procedure to do was. While reading it it struck me that God knows heart surgery. And that must mean that God speaks Korean. And that means that He can help me. It seems simple but that realization has changed me. All my fear and apprehension left me. It was kind of cool because just a few days after reading this talk Elder nelson came and spoke to us. i was going to say hi but I was worried he would remember me haha.
So I think i told you that Pres. Shin asks us to prepare talks in Korean each weeks and he randomly calls on us. A few weeks ago I was talking to his wife and she told me that because I am such a good missionary and so good at Korean (i have her fooled) he would never call on me. I have been tempted to not write talks since then but have written them simply to be obedient. I did so on Sunday but only a sort of lame one. Guess who was called on to speak?! ME! 2 lessons learned
1. it pays to be obedient
2. dont half way obedience.
I felt so dumb my talk was stupid but I was to thankful I had prepared something! Im glad i had the experience. it feels good to do hard things even if you dont do it perfectly.
missions are spectacular for pointing out your weaknesses. I am brought to my knees every single day. and if i wasn't I didnt do it right. I've had this motto the past couple weeks to do more than Im expected to do. i dont want to look back and feel like ive done anything halfway.
MOM THANK YOU FOR THE GIGANTOR PACKAGE. haha. You are so so awesome. I can always rely on you to go above and beyond. Dont stress! I wont die a painful death if I dont have some random thing. I have everything i need!
Happy birthday Chrissy and Jeremy! I hope you are loving Portugal! Its about time. i cant wait to hear about it!
President Shin wants to have dinner with you mom and dad. I gave them your info and said you'd give sister shine a lifetime supply of agelock... just kidding but i told her you'd give her some :) please? thank you? haha/
President shin had a parting meeting with us and told us that the secret to learning korean is loving Kimchi. Fantastic...!
I cant wait to begin this crazy adventure its so amazing to do something that take you beyond yourself. i am learning and growing soo much. I hate how quickly time is slipping through my fingers. I cant believe I have to say goodbye to my district they are all going to Seoul. They have become family. Love is what you go through together and we have been through a lot.
can i have like two more things?
theres this body mist that this sister has called goji berry&mango from v secret and its AMAZING. plus maybe some yummy smelling lotion. They tell me korea is stinky
I LOVE YOU! PRAY FOR ME!!! IM GOING TO KOREA!!!!!!!! haha HUZZAH!

Sister Lund
