Missionaries NO ️ Weathermen YES

In immersion this week we practiced being weather reporters and each took turns giving a "live news channel" weather report in Korean. For anyone who was watching that weather station, I will gladly pay for your therapy. In other words, it was really bad. Nonetheless, the Korean is coming along slowly but surely and with the Gift of Tongues we will all be just fine. 

Elder Gong came to the MTC!! He gave an awesome devotional on Tuesday. One of my favorite quotes was: "You don't know everything, but you have a testimony. Rely on your testimony when there is something you don't know." I love this quote because I've already come across some questions in Gospel discussions that I can't answer, and I'm sure it will happen more in Korea. It is important to always have a testimony to fall back on in situations like that, or even if you have personal questions or doubts. If you can rely on your testimony then you will be okay in any situation. That was my first time seeing an apostle speak in person and it was so cool! And I got to sit on the second row so that was awesome.

I was lucky enough to go to Jared's wedding this morning! He happened to be getting married at the same temple that my district and I were doing sealings at, at the same time, and on the same day. It worked out so perfectly and was such a blessing! It was a little weird seeing my family while being on my mission but it was still fun. 

Chocolate milk - upon arriving at the MTC, I made a goal to only drink chocolate milk every meal since I'm on the bulk. That only lasted about a week until I got sick and I haven't had chocolate milk since so yeah. Ever since then, I've been quite addicted to apple juice. Boy do I love apple juice. I drink it with every meal. I had no idea how underrated it was until the mish. And then all of the sudden, yesterday morning at breakfast when I went to get my morning cup of joe (apple juice) I saw this: 

                     OUT OF ORDER. 

Are you kidding me. I was absolutely livid. I used to think the days here were long, but it doesn't even compare to a day here without apple juice. It's officially been two whole months (two days) without apple juice. Will things get easier? I sure hope so. 

I gotta go but I'll write more next week.
