Well my pday got changed to today this week. I'm not breaking the rules or anything haha. I got my travel plans last Friday. I leave the MTC at 6 am on Monday the 13th. I depart from the SLC airport at like 11:06. Then i go to Seattle and have about an hour and half layover, and then i hvae another 2 hour layover in Tokyo. Then its a short flight over to Busan. I will be leaving Salt Lake at 11 am the 13th, and will land in Busan at 9pm the 14th. Not only that but in Korea everyone is a year older so ill be 19! Not really though haha. We were able to go t o the temple this morning at like 7:30. It was the last time ill be able to go to one for a while. Its so weird to think that Dennis is home. I talked to the front desk about how it is supposed to work, and they said we get to hang out in the front little waiting area and talk for 30 minutes. Im very excited for that. I've been looking back at the first couple of days here at the MTC lately. I was such a different person then. The MTC really does change a person. It seems like it was so long ago but it hasent even been 2 months yet. Im very excited to go to Korea. 저는 기다릴수없습니다! I guess you could say Korean is coming along very well. We have CMS every now and then which is basically just one on one with the teachers so they can focus on your specific needs. And my teachers always tell me that i am doing really well with Korean. Even so, what little i do know, i know i only grasped it so well because Heavenly Father has blessed me. I hope you are all doing well. Id just like to thank everyone for all the support ive received thus far. Its still a long way to go i know, but as long as i take it one day at a time ill do fine. This is officially my last email from America. How crazy is that. Its been a good run but its time for me to leave. I have had a lot of struggles here at the MTC. And they were coming from directions i didnt necessarily anticipate. But as i laid down in bed last night i thought of how grateful i was for them. Even though they were trying i still wouldnt have given them up. I have learned so much here at the MTC. I am still learning. And i know i will continue to learn. Thanks again for everything everyone. Ill see you all soon. 사랑함니다! Signing out from the U.S.A.
