What a crazy week!! Had some great lessons, Got to spend the day not being a missionary on May 9th (anti-hitler day), The the best part was talking to my family!!!!! That was the highlight of my whole week:) I love you family. You make me want to be a better missionary!!
Victory Day!
Well I guess I will write about Victory Day since it is one of the biggest Holidays in Russia!! The Monday before May 9th we get an email from our President that says that we are not missionaries on that day?? Haha weirdest thing to hear especially from President!! So basically we had to find a member or investigator to hang out with all day and just not be american;) So we decided to hang out with one of my favorite families in the ward. They are sooooo awesome!!! To start off the day we headed to their house to meet them. We got to wear normal clothes and we couldn't wear our name tags. I felt so weird because I didn't have to talk to people on the bus and I didn't have to worry about stopping people on the streets. I was like a normal person in Russia?? What?? Haha So we get to their house and then we were off to this monument thing in Z-grad. We walked there which was really fun. All the kids were on like scooters and bikes. I got to ride them a couple of times which was fun:) When we got there we layed flowers down on like the monuments and stuff. Played around for a little bit because this monument was on like this huge hill!! And then afterwards we went and had a picnik. It was a perfect day! Super warm. Our landlord ended up calling us and told us she couldn't get into our apartment.. (she had to sign some stuff and fix our washer) Why she decided to do it on a holiday.. I don't know? So she came and picked us up and we went and unlocked our apartment. Then they took us back and we played games and stuff outside which was super fun. Afterwards went back to their house and just hung out. It was so weird to me that I didn't have to worry about time... I could just "hang out!" So anyways after hanging out with them we had to head home. I was kinda day dreaming while the member in the car was talking to us. Then he asked me a question I guess and I was like uh huh!! Yeah of course. Afterwards we get out of the car and my comp goes do you know what he asked us? I said no.. He said he wants us to speak in church this sunday????? I was like WHAT!!!!! Haha so yeah I had to speak in church.. ;) anyways we get up to our apartment and turns out our landlord locked a lock on our door that we didn't have a key too.. So we called her.. and she was mad.. because she lives 2 hours away and yeah. So we had her come all the way back to zgrad to unlock our door.. she was not happy.. and she was super drunk. The whole time her and her boyfriend were fighting too.. But it was a nightmare to deal with. Especially because we were locked out of our apartment for 3 hours and I just found out I had to speak in church... But it was a good day over all:)
My talk in church went good.. I think.. All I know is Heavenly Father helped me through the whole thing. And When I first started my talk I cracked a joke and everyone laughed;) So I felt pretty good about that!! Anyways, It was a great week!! I learn so much everyday and I'm super grateful to be serving in an amazing place! Russia is great!! Anywho have a great week!! love you!!
Hey mom
I just read a little of your email, except the last paragraph.. I'll answer those questions next week k!! But I want to say thank you. Everything you said just was what I needed to hear. We definitely have a special bond. I mean me and you spent the last 4 months together as well. Your my best friend and I'm so grateful that I have the relationship that I do with you! I mean I would and do tell you everything. It's so sad because so many people don't have that relationship.. Thanks for everything you do mom. Really. I don't think I could ever do what you have done for me. I love you so much!! And I loved what you said about landon.. He's amazing and I think I realize it more and more while I'm out here. I think that's why it's so hard for me to think of him coming home. But like you said whatever is meant to happen will happen. I know he loves you guys too. I mean he skyped you;) haha you'll just have to take good care of him while i'm gone;) anyways I love you mom. Thank you for your words of wisdom.. I miss you.. I love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
