I read it all already...haha so yeah! Way good. Thank you so much! I haven't made the cake...we ran out of eggs and i've just been too busy. I'm sorry about the lack of pictures haha i just haven't had really anything to take pictures of. But today we are getting a lot of our MTC group back together so hopefully I will be able to get lots of pics then. Yeah his suit is way cool! I can't believe that he is home! Like what?! That is so weird to me. Awe lil jace man is so cute. That's way cute. I can't believe it. Way sad actually. Dang. Haha that's awesome that you made it! My birthday was good! I'll tell ya all about it in a little bit. We didn't do anything special though.
Okay so monday! I was in 평택! That was so awesome to be back there. Man still weird to me that you guys can't read korean. Like...it's way easy you should learn! You could learn in literally an hour. Anyways, so yeah i was down there. We met elder gamble and all the other guys down there and went to a kim bap place and had lunch. Then we just shopped around not realy doing anyhting. Then we had an early dinner with Julie. It was awesome to see her again! She went to church this week! So that was way awesome to hear! Man my spelling is bad. English spelling is way hard! anyway, she's doing really awesome and then she got me a sweet tie! It was way cool. Pink with blue ducks on it. Haha i'll have to take a picture with it and send it to you guys. Like honestly, i don't know what to take pictures of. Cuz i can't just bust it out on the street and take a picture. kinda weird. anyways, that was monday. Tuesday we had service which was a way good time. We got to do dishes which was way easy. They had a super fancy dishwasher that washed dishes in like 30 seconds. pretty crazy! All we did really was put them away to dry. Haha super easy. Then we went to lunch wiht Elders Nemelka and Preisler. They are a lot of fun haha. Anyways, then we went to the church and we met our brother 오형석, who is a kid who is going on his mission in may to London. He is way nervous so he studies with us like every morning. Its a fun time. So then we talked to people with him which is different but fun. Haha korea rocks. Religion here is a little corrupt...but it is way good! Momma thanks for that book really thouhg. Like it strengthened my testimony big time. :) So yeah! You rock momma!
Wednesday we did our normal stuff and then we had lunch at a 김밥 place somewhere. That was tasty. The bibimbap thing is one of my favorites. mom i heard you liked that. Then me and elder Nemelka had a split. We've been going on a lot haha. but it's okay cuz Elder Nemelka knows how to do good work. We tried to find a less actives house but couldn't find it so we asked like a group of 5 middle school kids where a certain address was and they like went on a hunt for it! Super cute. :) haha it was awesome. We were following a little group of 5 kids until we found it. But turns out that the button was broken anyway.....so we couldn't even tell him we were there. Super lame. So then we went and got dinner/talked to people. And then we made calls where we were able to set up 3 appointments! That was so cool! Then at night we went to the subway station to talk to people and they had white shirts for 2 for 17 so i had to jump on it. Way cool. So i got some way stylin blue button shirts.

We set a goal for this week to find someone off of the street! We haven't done it actually, so that's why i wanted to set that goal for this week. I felt like it was a good one. We're gonna do it. :) our ward mission leader had his baby too! One day after my birthday! Like what! So close. Too bad. Saturday we had studies and stuff then we went and talked to people on our way to meet a guy named 최승우 (Chuey Seung Ooh) He's a cool college guy who met missionaries a while ago.

Some cool thoughts from the book:
We need to let ourselves be led by christ, not just follow him. Change is not a bad thing. It is what allows us to become more and more like christ every single day. falling down may not be what we want but the lessons we learn from it are. We left our heavenly fathers arms crawling and with christ we can return to them running. Jesus's name means god is help or savior. Christ is there when we hurt in ways we do not know and cannot explain. that's why we have a savior--to comfor tus during those times. Christ has power to chuange things even when it seems impossible. Also, it is our relaionship with christ that makes us truly good. God is more concerened about the offerer than the offering. He is pleased with every effort we make no matter how little. Even when our efforst are mediocre, it is a step in the right direction. Life isn't so much about what happened to us but much more what happens in us. Trying and then falling, getting back up and then falling again isnot as much mocking god as it is honoring Him. We can never gorget what we have learned as well as felt as we went through the repentance process. There's more but like...so good. have a good week!^^
