Week 7 in the MTC

Here is Sister Jacklin's email from Week 7 in the MTC:

Anyeong haseyo!!!

I can´t  believe it has been seven weeks already, and in 2 and half more weeks I will be in Korea!!  We will get our travel plans next Friday, yay!!  I have been waiting for this.  I have loved the mtc and learned so much but I am ready to actually be out in the ´´real world´´ being a missionary.  My Korean is nowhere near ready but I know I will learn so much once I am using it everyday.  In Korea we will be teaching lessons and speaking in Korean all the time, but in the MTC we teach a lesson a day in Korean.  So my learning will accelerate so much faster.  This is one of those weeks where I can hardly remember anything that has happened.  We had a small group leave for Korea this week, which means we are the oldest Korean speaking missionaries now and we are next to leave!! I can hardly contain my excitement.  I hosted on Wednesday because we had a new group of Korean missionaries arriving that we were so excited to meet.  Me and a few of the other sisters stood on the curb and asked everyone where they were going as they walked up, we may or may not have been a little obnoxious and loud...then a couple cars pulled up right by us and missionaries got out that we going to Daejeon, Korea!! We all started screaming and got really excited, I think we freaked them out a little bit.  And then later in class our teacher was talking about how to help the new missionaries and said not to treat them like zoo animals, me and Elder Lomiga just looked at each other and went "oops!!" haha, it was pretty funny.  All the new Korean sisters moved onto our floor so it is just a big party.  The first night pretty much all the sisters in our zone came up and we ate treats and met the new sisters.  They are darling and 6 out of 7 of them are going to Daejeon.  One of the Korean sisters that was supposed to leave Monday has had to stay an extra week because of visa issues.  She moved from Korea to Canada when she was nine so they thought she had citizenship but she doesn't.  We have loved having her here though, she has helped us with Korean so much.  We just keep pressing forward in class, though sometimes it is a struggle to stay focused.  I am looking forward to not being in a classroom all day.  Whenever I am starting to get tired or bored during study time or class I just remind myself of my purpose and why  I am here.  Everyone deserves to hear this message so they can have the happiness that I have.  Our lessons are continuing to get better and better as we use less scripts and let the spirit guide.  I have felt the spirit prompt me with what to say so much the past few days in lessons, it is so incredible.  The holy ghost is such an amazing tool for us as missionaries and for everyone in our daily lives.  I love you all and can't wait to talk on the phone in just a couple weeks!!  I hope Luke is feeling better and that Seth's basketball is going well.

I am attaching a picture of me and courtney wells from temple walk last sunday and a picture of me and cecelia, we thought it would be fun for the Wilke's to see!!  I saw her quite a few times while she was here!!

I love you all so much!!
