First P-day for Elder Bishop MK3!

Everything is super here at the MTC! I love being here. However, I do feel like I am busy from 6:30 to 10:30. All we do is study! study! study! 

From Saturday, we were teaching an investigator, Kim Han Bin, who we teach in my crude Korean. He is supposedly a 17-year old living in Idaho but he is about as Korean as you and me. As far as the language goes, I'm now starting to kinda understand what is being talked about but I can't understand specific words.
My District is super awesome. We seemed to gel really well and sometimes lose focus but other than that learning really well. Most of the District is going to Seoul South Mission but Elder Elwood and I plus our comps are going to Seoul Proper.
I won't be able to access the link to that photo thing as Im only allowed to email. but I'll try to send some photos now. As far as mail I've only got the Elwood's package and the stuff from dearelder.com (FB and mum's letter) I'll look out for Elder Alsbrook ifI see him but I don't really see internationals or new missionaries as they have a special couple of days.
Korean is so complex; there are loads of exceptions to rules and it can be frustrating but I'm trying for it not to get the better of me. There are loads of Korean-speaking missionaries here. Last Sunday, we had 108 missionaries in our branch and, as such, we have three counsellors to the branch president, President Yost. We all get on really well. I get on really well with everyone apart from maybe Elder Buckwalter, who comes across as patronising and a bit of a know-it-all. But I'm learning how to be patient and, when I do get the chance to speak in lessons, I do. His dad went to Korea and so has been learning it for a month, arggh.
Anyway, I get an hour here while my laundery is going so yeah. Hope the family is okay and I'll be praying for you.
My camera has run out of battery, I need the charger ASAP. I have gym six times a week I need more socks. but apart from that I think all is well,
I'm at the temple once a week and I can do anything from inititories to sealing to parent so, if you need anything done, I can do those.
More pictures to follow!
Love
