A New Transfer August 29, 2011

show details 9:39 PM (15 hours ago) We got our transfer call this morning. Im being transferred to Gwangju. Im nothing short of heartbroken. I teach most of our investigators english and the sister replacing me doesn't speak english so they'll probably drop. I cant go! AHHH! I LOVE these people. With my whole heart. Its kind of funny to think about how much i love these people who i've never had a real conversation with- but i do. WHat will happen to our investigators? Who will tame to angry beast? When will i see these people again? ok i know i need to chill. but its SO sad. My new companion is Sister Sherwood. She is half american half Korean- perfect in korean and english. She is also a teacher so im excited for the help. Im a little scared because she's kinda intense but it will be good for me. Gwangju is one of the biggest cities in the mission so it will be a big change. Im excited. And guess what? Im even sad to leave sister lee- i love that crazy, angry, little asian.  So i got to have christmas this week- Annie came! One day we were walking to district meeting and sister lee hands me the phone and its randomly Annie. I freaked. We got to have dinner-go to a violin concert put on by the branch and then the next day we taught with her (the lawyer man) and had lunch. It was heaven. She gave me so much good advice and completely spoiled us. You have no idea. So i feel totally recharged and ready to take on the world. She is so awesome! Sister Lee and I have been sick this week. But i've been able to study a lot. I've learned more about the church on my mission than my whole 21 years combined (what does that say about me?) I keep learning things and thinking to myself- I wish I had known that, or wow! that is beautiful doctrine. This church really IS true! And it is.  Our hot water turned on and thank goodness because things were starting to get weird in the bath house.  Culture corner: Sister lee and I had a domestic this week because i've been freaking out about how im losing all my hair. She told me its because I dont use an umbrella. I said "what do you mean?" she said rain makes you go bald. I said "no it doesn't do you really believe that?!" she said yes it does! the pollution in the air puts poison in the rain and it makes your hair fall out. I strongly protested and she got way mad and told me americans think they know everything (cause we do)jk jk. And then i realized something: My opinion is never more important than my companions feelings. I apologized and opened my umbrella. Dont forget your umbrellas!  love lovelove you sister lund
