What?????

I am so sosososososo excited for Blake and Nancy!!! I want them to be my mission presidents! They are going to be amazing. Kaedon London and Kelson are so lucky- They are about to have the biggest adventure of their lives. 
Happy Birthday dad. My companion and I sang happy birthday for you and ate skittles. I am so happy you were born. You are my hero. 
Also happy halloween. Korea doesnt have Halloween but we are having a big halloween party tonight for the young single adults and all our investigators. Spook alley included. I am so excited. I havent decided what i will be but just know it will be epic.
This week has been kind of hard to be honest. Mostly because I had interviews with my mission president and he told me i have to learn Korean this transfer because there are 10000 American sisters coming into the mission. I pretty much wanted to die after. But ive been studying like theres no tomorrow because there kind of isn't and its not really helping. Turns out korean makes no sense.
We had sisters conference. Sister Furniss is so cool. I want to be her so much. We had so much fun and listened to the relief society broadcast. Elder Uchtdorf.... pretty sure that is not how you spell his name... is the MAN. It was exactly what i needed to hear. I love how the same talk can mean something to a mom in Utah and some sister missionary way the heck in Korea.
My companion got sick on Friday. We were at the church waiting for our appointment to show up when she looks at me and says " think i throw up many times" and walks into the bathroom and does so for a really long time. About two seconds later our appointment shows up. My companion is on the floor moaning. I am left to my devices- caveman talk for five minutes. Luckily the church is true and the lord ALWAYS covers for us. The elders come striding in like the knew what was going on and start helping with the lesson. It turned out to be awesome and she agreed to meet with us again. My companion threw up like eight more times. It was amazing. So saturday we took it easy. I studied Korean all day. and then i plucked my companions eyebrows. She was kinda mad but then she told me this awesome story about how her cousin shaved off her eyebrows when she was little and then i told her about how i shaved my own head a little when i was not so little and my sister used to make fun of me. Anyways since then our relationship has been really good. All we needed was some throwing up and some shared traumatic experiences.
The work is still challenging but so rewarding. Its a lot harder than i thought it would be. But in between the tough times are all these moments of brilliant light. Never in my life have i felt so sad and discouraged but never in my life have i felt so much joy, fulfillment, and peace. This gosple is true. The savior lives. Joseph Smith really was a prophet. I know the book of mormon it true. It is an incredible thing to be able to teach about these simple truths. I love you. Happy halloween!
