Privet!!!!
How was everyone's Thanksgiving?! Sounded like you guys had a blast… I missed you guys so much Thursday, but I'm so glad you guys enjoyed yourselves. Well, my week was a lot better then the first week!! Wednesday night was our last night teaching Kristina and it went really good!! We finally got her to PRAY!!! Wuhoo ;) haha we were so pumped about it!! On Friday she walks into our classroom and says Hello everyone, I am your new teacher!! Were all looking at each other like what??? Because I'm not gonna lie I was scared of her. She's like this cute little short blonde girl but she is a little ball of fire!! That's how most russians are I guess? Anyway turns out she is super cool!!! We get her to laugh all the time:) I think she really likes us. It's kinda nice to have a native teacher as well!! She's only been living here for 4 years. Anyway that was kinda funny! Thanksgiving was a really good day!! We had a devotional in the morning and Russell M. Neilson was the one who came and spoke with us. The choir got to sing for him so that was a lot of fun!! He mainly talked about missionary work of course, but it was good! After that we went into the Lunch room and had a huge Thanksgiving feast with all the Districts. We sat on a long table and put this paper turkey in the middle haha that was pretty fun!! Afterwards we did a service project for two hours. We ended up making over 360,000 bags of dried soup I guess you would say. That was a lot of fun!! Met some more people so that's always enjoyable. Then we had like a Thanksgiving skit and watched a movie and stuff so it was a good day!! Last week I was struggling a little bit with my companions. I got in my mood where I just want to be by myself and the whole exact obedience thing is really hard for me for some reason? My companions will call me out when I'm doing something wrong. So anyway I just didn't want to be around them. Then a sister in the other district just had a talk with me and I talked to her for about an hour and she just told me everything that I should do and I realized that why am I focusing on me and what I want and what I'm struggling with? This isn't about me anymore. I realized that its all about the Lord. Not me. So I decided I'm going to stop complaining about how I'm homesick, How I can't get the language down, How my companions and I don't click. It's not about me. It's about the Lord. I also realized something else haha I chose this??? Why am I complaining? I was the one that decided to put myself through this haha so now my knew quote is I CHOSE THIS. Great quote huh;) Sunday came along and since it was fast and testimony meeting I made it a goal to bare my testimony... In Russian... Well guess what! I was the first one to get up:) My mission president was so proud of me that he gave me a shout out right before he closed the meeting. Afterward everyone was giving me hugs and telling me how proud they were of me:) So I felt pretty good about that. Hmm what else.. I have mad skills in four square haha everyone says I'm really good… which I actually suck so that doesn't make sense? Everyone is basically leaving on Monday for Russia except our Zone so were gonna be alone tell Jan 4… That's when new Missionaries come in. 2 of the elders in my district are going to Spain on monday… I'm so jealous!!!!!! But oh well. Guess I'm supposed to stay here. A kid in our zone is british and looks like a Weasley haha so every time I see him I make him quote Harry Potter lines hahahaha I laugh so hard every time. Ah great stuff. We got 2 new investigators this week (both of them are our teachers) we taught one of them on Monday and the whole time I was laughing because of how bad my Russian is:) I mixed up some words and ended up testifying to him that Jesus Christ in our heavenly father. Then I made him read a scripture and kept asking him "If you will!" he kept saying what?!?! Then I kept repeating that.. turns out I was reading the wrong thing haha I'm an idiot, but whatever I was laughing. Something really cool happened just barely, Someone had emailed me, I don't know who it was, but he was like I just want to let you know that I look up to you so much. Since you decided to go on a mission I've decided to go. I am a huge fan of you and I want you to know how great you are. I thought that was really cool!! I don't even know who he is, but I guess people really do watch my actions. There have been some elders that will randomly walk pass me and say Hi sister Godfrey!! The whole time I'm like who is that?!?! Anyway haha everyone on the Russian floor found out who I was and were all freaking out because of the whole Nitro thing? Kinda funny!! But ahh sorry I keep rambling on. Anyway that's my week. hope I didn't leave anything out! Well I love you all! Thanks for your supports!!!!! Have a great week:)
Love, Cectpa Godfrey
