Thank you for the concern [about my boredom]. I think it will get better as time goes along. I just don't like that I am not learning anything other than the language and culture of Korea. I miss the lessons back in our ward about ideas and tangents that would stretch and challenge the mind. Here, it is all review or additional perspective. This is not bad, but I feel no challenge to grow. The only time I get to do that is during personal time which never seems to last long enough.
Despite their busy schedule, Grandma and Grandpa were able to write me. I will be writing them back this week. It was helpful and good to hear from them. I have been trying to follow your suggestion, but there are only so many sentences to make with words like baptism or priesthood. I will be working on everyone's suggestions though.
I had been making one of the letters to you or dad the "public" letter for the week, I thought... Nonetheless, I will be doing a public letter once in the field. The MTC does not inspire many letters. They would all be terribly similar. I will see what I can do, but, at least this week, there is literally nothing to write about. Tell dad to read the first paragraph about communicating with family in the Handbook.
I will tell Elder Taylor you like his letters. He likes writing letters, so don't feel bad if you write more.
Thank you for everything. I look forward to hearing from you again soon.
Press forward with steadfast faith in Christ
Best wishes,
Elder Jones
