I JUST ATE DOG IN SOUTH KOREA!! 🤯 🤯 🤯 (NOT CLICKBAIT)

Congrats, you fell for my clickbait email! I haven't actually eaten any dogs yet. Actually, I haven't even left the MTC yet so yeah. This was my first week!! It went very well and is one hundred times better than the at home MTC. It is pretty hard to adjust to the new schedule though. You know how time is different in Heaven? Like how it goes by way faster or whatever? Well, time is also different at the MTC. Each day in the MTC lasts about a week. At least that's what it feels like. But it's okay because they are very productive days.

I have an awesome district who is very on top of things when it comes to gospel knowledge, and I'm grateful for their testimonies that have helped me tremendously this past week. The MTC is a very cool place with a spirit unlike anywhere I've ever been. I'm lucky enough to be able to go to the gym for an hour a day with some other people in my district, and that helps wake me up when I'm super tired. My body is used to getting like five hours of sleep at night, with an extremely necessary 2.5 hour nap during the day, so my new schedule is a little different. 

Great scripture I found this week - 2 Nephi 2:22: And now, behold, if Adam had not transgressed he would not have fallen, but he would have remained in the garden of Eden. And all things which were created must have remained in the same state in which they were after they were created; and they must have remained forever, and had no end.

I like this scripture because it shows that without Adam's transgression, all of us today would not be able to learn from our mistakes and improve, because we would have remained in the same state forever with no end.

I've done a lot of pondering this week and also asked and answered a lot of questions. But an elder from my district (Elder Rigby) said something that really made me think. He asked, "does water just go away when it dries after it lands on something? Or does it leave a clear stain?". I guess we will never know the answer to that question, because if there was a clear stain, we wouldn't be able to see it anyway. Sorry I was yapping there, wasn't I?

One of my favorite spiritual experiences since I've started my mission was when our district sang the Hymn: His Eye Is On The Sparrow. It is one of the new hymns that just came out. 

Why should I feel discouraged?

Why should the shadows come?

Why should my heart be lonely

And long for heav’n and home,

When Jesus is my portion?

My constant Friend is He:

His eye is on the sparrow,

And I know He watches me;

His eye is on the sparrow,

And I know He watches me.

I sing because I’m happy—

I sing because I’m free—

For His eye is on the sparrow,

And I know He watches me.

I really like how this song- "oh great, now I'm stuck in this font," he says to himself. 

There we go. If you can't tell, I'm not the most tech savvy. But I love this song because it really shows how Jesus watches over and cares for each one of us.

That's all for this week!
