Hello Everybody! It’s the end of the week (yes Sunday is the end of the week because God made the world Monday through Saturday, then rested on the LAST day, so there) and you know what that means… You get an email from your favorite missionary in the whole wide world!

| My last Sunday at home |

| Good ol' Harry Potter Clue. The only version worth playing. |
I am still at home-MTC which is a jolly fun time. Almost every day me and my district meet with Brother Waggner and Brother Harley. Brother Waggner is super chill. He starts out the class with 10 minutes of showing us elders cool pictures he took in Korea. Then for the next two hours and fifty minutes we have ourselves a practice session from Preach My Gospel and do role-plays to practice being missionaries. Brother Waggner does a good job of keeping us all engaged and interested. He reminds me of my high school art teacher Mr. Berg (yeah, he’s that cool). Brother Harley is ALSO a very cool teacher. He is very excited to teach us the things we will need to know to teach other people about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He is more business, but that is more because Waggner is less business than anything. We learn out of the Preach My Gospel (PMG) handbook for the most part in both of those classes.
The other teachers we only see once or twice a week. Sister Cho and Sister Kim. They are both Korean, and both so incredibly, so super nice! Sister Cho is teaching us Korean twice a week, plus any time we schedule a one on one lesson. She speaks perfect English, and I assume Perfect Korean. Sister Kim teaches us the same stuff as Brother Waggner and Brother Harley. We have lessons out of PMG, and practice proselyting. Her teaching style encourages us to share our testimonies and invite the spirit more than the Brothers' classes (they still do this just not throughout the class), and her classes do help us invite the Spirit. She is one of my favorite teachers for that reason. My district is her first group of American English speaking boys she has taught, so I think we are more rowdy than she is used to. I can also tell that some of my district thinks she isn’t very engaging, but I think it mostly has to do with the slight cultural differences and a language barrier. Her English isn’t perfect, but we can always understand what she is literally saying, just not always what she is trying to say. But this is GOOD! We are supposed to be learning Korean, and learning to talk with people who don’t speak English as their first language.
So yeah! I have some great teachers, and I am really excited to go to the Provo MTC this Wednesday. I can’t wait to attend all these cool classes and workshops live, and meet new people and see my district IRL. I am so grateful to be able to feel the Spirit every day, and learn more about my Savior Jesus Christ. I cannot wait to serve and teach the people in Korea! I love them already. I love all of you as well! Thank you for reading my emails and staying in touch with me.
Truly, Truman

| Last time to see my mom's best friend, Cori |
 |
| Olivia Byram was at the Corn Dog shack when we went |
 |
Also, the guys working there gave me my food for FREE
because I am a missionary and when we went the second
time, the guy handed my food and said, "Do your best,
and the Lord will bless you." I love being a missionary! |
