My Mission to Korea

WEEK 10

In exactly a week i will be in Seoul Korea! It didn't really hit me till this past Friday. So friday, Elder Cutler, who is in my district, who will be serving in LA, got called to the front desk during personal study time. We didn't see him till lunch. We asked what did the front desk want? He replied, "I am leaving today for L.A at 4pm." We were like whatever, are you serious. I had to confirm with his companion to finally realize he was telling the truth. And like that Elder Culter was off to L.A. His mission president really needed him. When he left is when I realized it's finally happening!

The other neat thing about this story is a couple days before Wednesday, Elder Culter and Elder Hatch got a new companion, Elder Burningham. he was born in Seoul but his mom got remarried and moved to America when he was 9 yrs. old. He is fluent in Korean and for some bizzarre reason he was not put with the native koreans, but with us. And then two days later Elder Culter left. How amazing! God truly is in the details of our lives. No one at the MTC knew Elder Culter was gonna get transferred early, but God knew. It just blows my mind how he works in our lives.

Are you ready to go to Korea? neh...that means yes in korean by the way. At TRC this past Saturday me and my companions were able to teach the first lesson smoothly, to speak by the spirit rather then just sit there struggling with words and grammar. It gave me the assurance that I am ready to go and serve in korea. I can't wait to go and teach the korean people. just 7 more days and I will be there :)
