Welp... I can't believe it's September?? That's weird. I guess this past month went by pretty fast. And a lot of random stuff happened and soo many miracles. But it's just for another month!! Can't wait to see what the lord has in store:)
Well my new companion is great. We are a lot a like haha which I don't know if it's a good or a bad thing. But we have a lot of fun together. To answer your questions my companions name is sister Hardcastle. She is Amy Hardcastles cousin too!! haha but yeah it's a small world!! She's way cool! I like her a lot. We are really similar. Both super chill and what not. I guess though she hated her mission for the longest time!! But now I think she likes it? She doesn't contact which I'm on my own again with that one.. and she barely talks in lessons! Which with all my other companions it was the complete opposite. I would have to interrupt them to get a word in haha so I kinda feel like I'm training.. but it will be good because It's preparing me for when I do;) I love her though she's way outgoing and way fun.
This week we worked with a lot of inactives and focused on the members. I don't know if there was anything super specific about this week that was pretty exciting. We've been working with a lot of less actives and Masha is amazing!! I love her so much!! I really hope we can get her to baptism so will see? I'll try and send some more pictures today ok! Sorry I do that at the Blackwells haha so that's why sometimes you get them and sometimes you don't. I hope you get your package soon. Sister Hunter should be calling you sometime because she has it! I can't wait for you package:)
On Saturday our stake had some institute thing? I didn't really know what it was, but if we had an investigator come we could go. So Masha was totally down to go. As I'm walking into the building I see all these young girls that I served in Zgrad!!!!! When we saw each other we were all screaming and hugging each other!! I felt like I had just seen my family.. It made me think how much I love these Russian people.. Holy cow.. I love them so much!! and it was so fun that I was able to see them and spend the night with them!!! So anywho, that night they ended up having like a dinner thing and then we played this scavenger hunt game. So we were each put into "families" (it was like pioneer themed) and sent around the building to do different activities.. and one of them was like line dancing... Now me and my companion obviously can't dance with men so we paired up together. But then they like switched it all up and I ended up dancing with the ward mission leader as well as some other men in the ward... talk about awkward!!! and everyone is like your fine your fine I'm like NO this is not allowed!!! haha I can't even tell you how many times I've been touched by men and couldn't do anything about it. The elders have this one Investigator and one time he came to say hi to me and gave me this huge hug. Mind you he is shorter then me... I felt so awkward... and then that night I got asked out, well me and my comp got asked out on a date by a member haha so that was super awkward. Man mission life is just awkward:) Haha but we kinda just have to roll with it. I think that's why so many missionaries come home awkward. Because a mission is STRAIGHT UP AWKWARD. But anyway, I had a good week with a lot of miracles and a lot of learning in my part. But I had the opportunity to pray to heavenly father last night for an hour.. It completely changed me. It felt so good to just get everything out and let him know exactly how I am feeling. The mission I feel like never gets easy ha once one thing leaves another comes. But it's too look back and see how much I've grown and learned. anywho that is my random story for the week... life's good. Russians hard. People are great. The church is true.
Love, Cecpta Godfrey
