Um.. well I don't really know what to say about this week.. Things were good... um we contacted ha and we taught lessons:) A lot of people cancelled on us this week, but that's all good. It happens. We met this one girl contacting and she ended up calling us and wanting to meet so hopefully we can keep her interested!! I think the best thing that happened this week is on Tuesday I got a phone call from Dasha!!!!!! (my best friend from zgrad) She called me and said she wants to come to Moscow to see me!!! I was so excited:):) So she ended up coming down here and I got to see her. I can't even explain the excitement I had when I saw her. It was like seeing a family member again:) haha but anyway we taught her a lesson and what not. She has this boyfriend I guess that takes over her life and controls her.. I feel so bad because the men here do not know how to treat women. Literally!! Women here are like mens toys. It's the saddest thing.. I think that's why so many families are broken up here.. Ah it breaks my heart. Haha makes me think how grateful I am that I have a family that functions good and my parents are still together. Gosh I will never ever take family for granted. But yeah seeing Dasha was great. That was probably the highlight of my week:) But yeah...working hard! Finding people is really hard.. we were contacting ALL day Thursday and literally one person was kinda interested.. ha it's all good though because I know the Lord see's our efforts and he will bless us with someone:) Oh yeah and Ludmila.. I called her and she finally answered!!!!!!! holy cow!!!!!! and I guess she's been teaching her bobs how to pray.. In the Name of Jesus Christ:) So that was way exciting!! But then she panicked and said she had to go.. and we haven't heard since... So yeah:) Lots of people cancelled on us which is not unusual. haha sad to say.. But yeah:) We might have a new investigator but will see? I think there is a curse in Sokoniki because missionaries will find someone teach them and then they try to call them again and they disappear.. So hopefully we can change that?? But I don't know what's going on here in Russia!! I guess Russia isn't allowing any imports coming in from other countries so that's a bummer. Things are shutting down.. But that's ok! I feel pretty safe. Like really nothing has happened here. The only thing is people yelling at us and telling us to go back to America or saying that our country is betraying them and blah blah blah. I feel like no one really has the right story? You tell me one thing and then I hear another thing from here. But whatever. I think the only thing that's hard about the whole thing is people are mean to us and don't want to talk to us because were American. The teenagers don't really care so that's good:) Haha um but yeah I'm safe so don't worry:) Transfers are next week.. so will see what happens with that! But other then that I don't really know what's new? That's the latest news here in Moscow Russia!! Hope you have a great week:) Lurvs!!
