Sister Lund vs. the World

So... once again.... i have overstressed the situation. My companion is only a little out of her mind. She is like 4' 9" and i tried to bench press her last night and it almost worked. She is the first convert in her family and is a gentle sweet little thing. She kinda cries a lot. like a LOT. but it turns out sister missionaries like to do that so i just make her hot chocolate and hand her tissues. Last night we had dinner at Robert Holly's house this returned-missionary-turned-famous-comedian who lives in one of our wards. It was kind of a miracle because i heard he doesnt really like sister missionaries. but dont worry. I totally made him love us... i hope. Anyways his wife gave us pumpkin pie and it make me feel all tingley inside.  So the relief society had a big cooking competition and invited us and i wanted to participate and bought this horrible korean cookie mix. Also i could NOT get the oven to start. We prayed and tried again and of course it immediately started working. Our cookies came out looking and kind of tasting like dirt clods. but i didnt even care because they were miracle cookies. We brought them to the activity and they entered them into the contest. Our area is known for the amazing cooks and these women totally brought the heat. Their food was UNBELIEVABLE. we all introduced our items and I explained that our cookies were made by Gods hands. Everyone thought that was pretty funny and they LOVED our cookies. and get this: WE WON. Our cruddy ugly little cookies beat out all the Korean cuisine!!! hahahahahhahahaha i have pictures. Ill show you in like 11 months ok? This week i got lots of love from home and it was pretty AWESOME. Shout out to Larry Jones, momma oldroyd (the zucchini bread made me cry a little), and of course my mom who is the envy of every missionary in Taejeon. Im speaking a lot more Korean- thats pretty exciting. hmm... k thats all i think i have to say, Except maybe I love being a missionary. SO MUCH. even when my companions are completely nutso. maybe especially when they are crazytown. Remember when i got set apart and my blessing talked about how i would love my compys- its totally true. Sometimes ill be in the middle of a crazy situation and im just able to have a clear head and not get mad and just feel love for them- definitely strength beyond my own. I love you. i love this work. I love korea. Kisses!! sister lund
