What do I do if the Investigator responds?

Annyeong!
Sister Warner and I
I don't know how to type in Korean on this keyboard so all the emails you get will be in English! Which is a bummer cause I was gonna tell you how much Korean I have learned.

They really do jump right into the language here in the MTC. On Wednesday, I went through the whole MTC and then straight to class where Sister Yuen talked only in Korean. Thursday was more Korean and Friday we learned sentence structure and praying. About half of every prayer I say is in Korean now. Which is because I know how to say Heavenly Father, Thank you for (one of the nouns I know), help us to feel the spirit, and In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen. So that's fun. Korean is also the Celestial language because we're on the third floor of the building. (Sorry, Chinese and Japanese speakers, we all know the best language.)

On Friday night, we taught our first investigator.
After our first discussion
Sister Yuen asked us before if we had any questions and Sister Earnshaw asked, "What do I do if the investigator responds?" Elder Miller also asked what he should do if he was "talking in Korean and the investigator didn't understand, well, he might not think it's Korean, but..." We taught our investigator again on Saturday and we have one more lesson tonight.

My district consists of 6 sisters and 4 elders.

Everyone in here speaks another language so that's fun when we don't know how to say things in Korean but we can speak Tagalog, Maori, Spanish, French, Arabic, and German. All 6 of us sisters sleep in the same room!
My MTC Roommates
We're pretty much the best of friends and I'm so excited to be living with them for 2 months. Our room is on the 4th floor, last door so watch for the picture when we get shirts that say that.

Sundays are pretty much the best in the MTC. Except we get cereal for breakfast. But other than that. The sacrament prayer in Korean is SO LONG! Even when native Koreans say it! We got to watch The Character of Christ. I've heard from everybody that it's the best thing ever. It's true.
First Temple Trip while at the MTC
Also, singing with Brother Eggett. I knew he was the best before, but singing Praise to the Man with hundreds of missionaries as Brother Eggett talks about the fog rolling over Nauvoo and Joseph and Hyrum on their horses. SO POWERFUL.
The MTC is the best! I love you all!

Love,
