Wow, I don't think it will surprise anyone when I say, this week flew by. That's pretty much par for the course in missionary work, but this week was also my first full week as senior. I didn't realize all the things my seniors did behind the scenes when I wasn't paying attention, and now I am on the other side seeing how oblivious my companion is to all the things I am doing while he is playing with my rubiks cube :) Really, it doesn't even feel like I am training because Elder Lee is one of those really hands on people who just wants to pick everything up as quick as possible and just go. It's been really great and honestly he has been an example to me. My responsibility now is just to not kill his new missionary fire. I want to feul it as much as I can, even if it is incredibly exhausting to me at times ^^
Anyway, about my week. So nothing new happened until Thursday. Thursday morning I went to a community center and assisted in giving an English lecture to the students here in Jecheon. That was really cool and we ended up just having a table discussion in English by the end, even though not everybody was very good at English. (Side note: If some things in my email don't make sense from here on out, I apologize. My brain is desperately trying to build the bridge between English and Korean, and sometimes it results in my speaking not making sense in either language. So... yeah. I never thought it would happen, but despite all the English I teach over here, I feel it deteriorating little by little. Anyway...) Right after the lecture we had to book it to Yeongwol to teach an investigator and then had to book it straight back to teach another English class in the evening.
Umm.... What else. Sorry, we have been so busy this past week with little things that really aren't worth listing. Also, I'm finding it hard to compose my thoughts in English. Umm... yeah. Wow, I am super sorry. This is probably like my most boring email yet. Also, my companion didn't get any emails again, so he is just sitting here waiting for me to finish so I feel bad. Suffice it to say, I'm alive, I didn't eat anything crazy this week, my Korean is improving (at the expense of my English) and the Lord is blessing me a ton. I feel empowered everyday when I do something "senior-y" and realize that while I may not have thought I was completely prepared before, the Lord knows me better than I know myself and is guiding me every step of the way.
Okay, well that's about all for today. Again, I'm sorry!! I love you all and I'll try to give you something worth reading next week ;)
