You can count the number of seeds in an apple, but you can't count the number of apples in a seed

Hello everyone! I hope everyone is doing well! Thank you for your packages, letters, and prayers, they are all appreciated. I am doing very well here, I love being a missionary. The Korean is going well, it's still an insane language but I'm making progress and trying to learn at least 15 new words every day. A lot of the sounds in Korean are similar to English, but English and Korean actually have zero sounds in common. There are a lot of sounds that are similar, but none of them are actually the same. And there are a lot of sounds that don't exist in the other language at all. For example, the k, v, q, l, and f sounds are completely nonexistent in Korean. So we have to learn to make sounds with our mouth that we have never made before, but it is so fun to learn.  
Well, i did it again. For future reference, pressing tab then enter sends your email. But from where I left off:

The elders in my district have the best service in the MTC without a doubt. Most missionaries here at the MTC are assigned to clean bathrooms, rooms, or buildings for at least one of their service days. And from the stories I hear, it's a nightmare. However, our Saturday service consists of setting up chairs for sacrament meetings, which takes about 15 minutes of the 75 minutes of allotted time, so we get to do whatever for the rest. And for our Wednesday service, we get to unload the shipments in the kitchen. It's cool to see the MTC kitchen behind the scenes, and we get to go in the giant freezers they have. And when we finish, the person in charge of the kitchen gives us a Snicker's bar. So you could say that we did not get the short end of the stick when it comes to service. And in Korea, the church offers free English classes at the church building, which is how they get a lot of their investigators. And the missionaries get to teach it, so I am very excited to teach that.

Another part of the MTC that us missionaries cherish is gym time. In my 5 weeks, I have become quite proficient at both volleyball and four-square. The only two points in your life when four-square is cool to play is in 3rd grade and at the MTC, so I'm taking advantage of my 9 weeks here.

Every 4 weeks, the Missionaries from Korea that are going to Korea on their missions show up and stay here for 2 weeks. Last time only one missionary came, but this time there's 10 and they are the funniest people ever. They barely speak English, so they say some of the most hilarious things. However, they learn English swear words in Korea and don't really get that missionaries don't say them, so we help them clean up their English and they help us to learn a little bit more Korean.

For our Tuesday Devotional, Elder Costa of the Presidency of the Seventy came to speak to us. One of the things he said was that  "you can count the number of seeds in an apple, but you can't count the number of apples in a seed." I was confused for a second until I realized how cool of a quote it was. He talked about how though our immediate efforts might now bring forth much fruit, but we will never know how much fruit comes from the seeds we have planted. He was super funny, and he's the most senior member of the Quorum of the Seventy. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets called as an apostle this weekend, he was awesome. And speaking of this weekend, we get to watch general conference this weekend and I'm super excited that I get to be in the MTC for it. And as the District Leader, I have to lead the discussions after the sessions, so it will give me extra reason to pay attention.

I love being a missionary and I'm so glad I get to spend 9 weeks here. I love you all, thank you for the support!
