Greetings from Korea! I don't have much time today to leave a long message (plus I didn't really think of one this last week), so today it will be short and hopefully sweet. I want to tell you about my fun experience yesterday and today going on splits with a greenie.

So, Sister McKay was in the MTC with me--she arrived six weeks after I did. She's amazing, and she ended up with my trainer as her trainer this transfer. Which is awesome--I get to see her almost every week for P-day. And we get to go on splits with each others' companions. I wrongly assumed that I would go on splits with Sister Lee twice this transfer...nope! I found out on Monday that I would be going on splits with Sister McKay. Ahh! I started to panic. She's on her first transfer and doesn't understand most of what people say, and I'm on my second transfer and also don't understand. And neither of us is particularly gifted with Korean.

So...I was very worried. I figured it would be terrible, because August is really hot, and we would probably spend the whole time just proselyting.

It turned out to be not too bad. Thankfully all of the appointments for yesterday cancelled (teaching a lesson would have been very hard to do successfully), so we decided to heart attack doors (attach hearts to the door with tape) and deliver cookies. We cooked a lot of cookies and had a very good companionship study (that was a little long, admittedly) before going out into the heat. I found my way around by myself. We didn't get lost. We found apartments and delivered cookies (without actually having to talk because it was an attack). Then we taught English class and went home--I could've done a better job talking to people, but it was pretty fun. Sister McKay and I got a lot of compliments.

It's amazing how the Lord can work with such imperfect beings to do His work.

Anyway, I hope you have a great week! Next week I promise to have a better blog post.
