Hello!!!!
Today is officially the second month
mark! It’s crazy to think I’ve been here
for a month! It only feels like it’s
been a week! There is so much studying going on and busy schedules, but work is
getting done. I am learning a lot about myself. I realize that I cannot do
anything without the strength of the Lord and the power of the Holy Ghost. I
fail when I get upset or angry at myself and I really start to struggle. My
companion and I are trying to make it a goal to always stay positive no matter
how hard it can get. I couldn’t teach my investigator AT ALL because I got so
frustrated with myself and not understanding anything he was saying. It really is a humbling experience and I was
reading in the scriptures that without being humble, you can’t have faith. I
obviously cannot do this alone because all that I have learned is from the help
of my Savior. Without Him I can do nothing here because it is His work. Holy cow I have been learning a ton. I am unfortunately not fluent in the language
yet... but I am able to make complete sentences, sort of... haha. It takes me a couple tries to get it right.
But just for being here for 4 weeks and being at the level I am right now is
incredible. One of the elders in our district took 2 semesters at college of
Korean and he said that we are already pretty much at the level he was when he
finished his 2 semesters. That’s super crazy to think about. I think of my
blessings each day. It is hard trying not to compare myself to other
missionaries, but I just have to think to myself that everyone is different,
and the language will get easier and I will understand it! One fun fact, I have
been jump-roping for gym time and it’s a good work out. I wish I could play
soccer but not enough girls play so we can’t, but volleyball is fun! I have not
gained any weight here thank goodness :) the food isn’t bad, people may bag on
it, but you just gotta be creative with the food you can find! That’s always
fun. I try to stay positive with everything I do, I don’t want to have lame
memories of the MTC! I have been writing
in my journal every day, I hope you write in your journals too. They help me reflect on my day. Journals just make me so happy! I love you and I am praying for you!! Stay strong and of good courage!!! I love you and be Christ-Like. I love the story of Christ washing the feet of
the apostles. He truly was perfect in
every way. I look to Him for advice :)
Love Sister Wright
