Chorean

My first full week at the MTC went swimmingly. We started immersion this week, which means our classes are in full Korean, and no one is allowed to speak English. It really brought me back to the Chinese immersion days. It even made me remember a ton of Chinese words I had forgotten. Every time I think of something I want to say in class, I can always remember the Chinese word for it but never the Korean. And sometimes I mix up the two languages, and half of the sentence will be in Korean, and the other half Chinese, so now my brain is a melting pot of languages. Hence the E-mail title, Chorean. 

 The devotionals at the MTC are awesome. On Tuesday, we had a general authority, Amy Wright, speak to us. It was an amazing talk about missionary work and facing challenges that are uniquely difficult for each one of us. I don't have my journal with me so that's all I can really remember off the top of my head. 

Music Withdrawals - I thought it would be much harder to stop listening to music suddenly for two years, but it hasn't been too bad so far. The only weird thing is that I will randomly get weird songs stuck in my head that are so random. Like this morning, we were on the bus ride to the Timpanogos temple, and I had "silver bells" stuck in my head. Like the Christmas song. I hear that song maybe once a year. But for some reason, that one has been stuck in my head on at least three separate occasions. If you thought that one was weird, just wait until you hear the next one. The Lorax soundtrack. And I'm not even talking about the songs, like "Let it Grow" or "Thneedville". I'm talking about the random background music that plays during scenes that don't have talking. Like the music that plays when Ted and company are running away from Ohare while trying to plant the Truffula seed. That music being stuck in my head makes a little more sense though, cause I have seen The Lorax probably 200+ times. 

Cool scripture: 2 Nephi 31:20

Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life

It doesn't get plainer than that! This is an awesome promise. God really does love each one of us!
