soloing sister

We went to the Sand Festival today and I got to see Sister Scott!!! It was so cool!! Pics coming next week :) Haha. And I have taken a bazillion photos but I had an elder taking a photo of me and my companions and of course, bless his little 18 year old heart....he deleted my whole memory...really? Like what is my luck?! It killed me!!! so you might be getting a memory chip in the mail in a few weeks that apparently you can do a picture recovery program for. So just be prepared. :)

In other news. So super funny story. My native companion admitted to President and Sister Gilbert that she doesn't wake up on time (bless her hear,t we try to get her up but she just keeps sleeping, makes it hard to stay obedient sometimes). So they found out that she wasn't and also that she wasn't working out. So then this past week we got a call at 6:31 from Sister Gilbert, the president's wife, that she was going walking and was wondering if we wanted to join her. Well you can't say no! So we frantically got dressed and went wandering Korean with the presidents wife. It was actually pretty cool.

Another funny moment? So you know how I'm not a singer? Ya, well I got volunteered to sing a solo this past Sunday!! Oh man! So we sang Come Thou Fount with the office elders and APs, and one part they wanted a solo, so guess what? I got volunteered! So I sang part of a verse and than was joined by Elder Mitchell, one of the APs, and then everyone else joined in. It was comical! But hey I survived, and you learn quick that you can't say no to anything here...food, being left alone for a week, singing a solo in sacrament. 

Also, an update: Sister Yokum or I will probably be getting transferred next week. It is the end of the transfer next Monday. Crazy! So we find out on Thursday.

As far as the work goes, we teach five English classes a week, and with two areas, we don't have much time to really just do much general work, so it's still hard. But we are teaching a 30/30 lesson (30 minutes English, 30 minutes Korean) to a Lady Bach Song Sook. She is amazing and the best mom!! She has an eight-year-old son who has a mental disability so she is moving to the US/Canada for health care for him. Everything she does is for him and I know the Gospel will help her so much! We are just trying to get her to realize what we have to offer. She is the most amazing mom!! and has such a desire to learn English to help her son. I really hope she realize what we have.
