"Not praying makes us to sadly"

 Dearest 여러분:
#TWINNING
Shout out to my mother! It's her birthday this week! 🎉

It has been a great week! We've had a lot of good days and funny language mistakes. At TRC this past week, our member asked Sis. Warner how she was. Except Sis Warner zoned out for just a bit and heard "Where are you from?" She just responded with, "California." When the investigator just looked at her, she glanced at me and I just whispered, "How are you?"

For devotional this past week, Elder Ballard came and spoke to us! He talked about having a good attitude and setting goals. The cool thing was that it was broadcast to several MTCs live, including the Argentina one! So I got to watch it with Hermana Kelson, even though she's on another continent. We think a member of the Twelve comes on the 2nd Tuesday of every month so we missed it by one day when we got here and we'll miss it by one day when we leave.
The best part of this picture: Sis. Warner. Yes, we get along fabulously!
In one of our lessons this past week, our investigator brought up some concerns about the doctrine of Christ. We'd initially planned on discussing the last half of the Plan of Salvation but then thought he might have some concerns about that so we were ready to change plans if need be. During the lesson though, there was some confusion about whether I said we were going to talk about that today or whether Sis Warner heard we were going to talk about it tomorrow. Both of us were very confused. Needless to say, we did not discuss the doctrine of Christ.

We also got to go proselyting this week! You may be thinking, "Where did you find people to teach in Korean?" We went outside with the Native district and practiced so that we could practice Korean and they could practice teaching simply. Because that is all we can do. Our teacher was very worried that we would compare our Korean to them. However, we felt super empowered realizing that we really could do it!
Cutest Korean Sisters there ever were
On that note, this week while practicing, Sis. Warner asked me how I was doing. Instead of responding that I'm doing good, I responded with, "Goodnight!" To be fair, they start with the same syllable. So it wasn't that bad of a mistake.

Our title this week comes from Brother Jung, our teacher. For anyone learning a language, you know that direct translation doesn't work out that well. We started with a normal sentence in English but as he was writing it, he changed the sentence to match what we wrote. Which is not a normal sentence in English.
Our teacher is in the Korean pamphlet! He's famous! He's the one in the teal shirt.
As of this morning, we have become one of the senior districts. About 20 missionaries left for Daejeon and Busan. We get 10 more missionaries on Wednesday so our zone will only be about 35 people. On Wednesday though, we get 4 native Sisters and we'll fly to Seoul South with 2 of them! Only 3 weeks to go![?]
