Hello Family!!
How are you?
So i completely spaced telling you about pass-off. Basically when we get here, we get a pass-off book. Which has all the stuff in there for pass off obviously. Its not required but strongly strongly encouraged. The first level, which is the biggest and hardest is Certified Teacher, which includes memorizing all of the doctrine, scriptures and background of each scripture, memorizing a scripture for every principle (about 34 ) and then memorizing a bunch of vocab. The other levels are Master Teacher, Korean Speaker, King Se chung, and The Isaiah Award, which all have different requirements, but you have to get Certified Teacher first. Well, today i passed off Certified Teacher at the mission home, which is why i wasnt able to be online earlier, sorry about that.
So on to this weeks news, i think i see the word "details" in every single one of the letters i recieve. Speaking of letters, I GOT THEM ALL TODAY!! YAY!!! MY FAMILY REALLY DOES LOVE ME!!!...just kidding, but i did get the letters. Thank you. So on to some personal notes,
Dad: YAY for no more contacts! good luck with the surgery!
Mom: You rock, I love you.
Shyla: Thanks for the letters, keep up the good work in school (Unlike your brother)
Kaylie: I absolutely loved LOVED the picture of googly eyed oreo...keep the artwork coming!
Oreo: Dont let those girls torture you like that!!! BE A MAN!!!....lazy bum...
So ill write back some snail mail as soon as time permits. Keep in mind i can only write on p days and we're almost always crunched for time. Ill do my best though.
As for my week:
This week was kinda uneventful because of Choo suck, (Korean Thanksgiving) So we had a lot of time to just proselyte. Which is okay, just not very successful. But it was good! The weather in Korea is beautiful!! ( Of course it is, every day is beautiful when youre in korea!) but if you're really wondering...the weather kinda sucks. Its starting to cool down though, so thats good. We just had 3 new families move into our ward. One of them has 8 kids!! Which you think is crazy in America, but in korea, its almost unheard of. But that gives our ward 21 new members which almost doubles it in size. Thats very exciting news for Man su. Other than that there really isnt much to tell, not really anything too exciting going on...Im gonna hopefully mail my card today or tomorrow. Sorry bout that. As for a tape, if i can get time to record one, dont expect it to have any Korean on it. Although the Korean language and I are getting along better now..( we had a tad bit of an argument, but had a talk( which wasnt very productive) but are progressing). I love you all very much and cant wait to hear from you next week.
LOVE YOU ALL!
