Week #11 HELLO!!!

Hello Hello!! Um... alrighty I guess I'll just get right into my week :)

So we do I begin.. Um let's see first of all I was in charge of planning our entire week out. My companion said it would be "good for me" so yeah:) and it was good for me haha Transfers are next Wednesday which is a little scary because I'm going to be the one that knows everything in my area.. Ahh but the Lord's got my back so everything will be peachy... :) 

This week we just worked with a lot of members and talking to members about meeting with their family members that are not members. We got a new Bishop.. which I'm super grateful for.. this is his 4th time being bishop.. but he's awesome because he know's what he's doing! We are all working together to build up our ward. Which like I said Heavenly Father isn't going to give us more people to teach if we can even take care of the ones we have. 

One story that I want to talk about that happened this week was a lesson we had with the Pakistan Family. It was in english.. Which was AHHH so awesome:) Haha I was super pumped about that! But we had a lesson with them about the strippling warriors. And we talked about how they had no idea what they were doing, but they knew that God was with them and on their side. They also remembered what their mother's told them and to always trust in God. Which made me think a lot about being a missionary. We are put into a situation that is completely scary. We don't know how to fight (preach the gospel) we don't know how to really do anything that a missionary does, but we have trust in god that he is going to help us. We talked to them about there situation and how they randomly had to leave Pakistan and they had no idea what they were doing, but god did and by coming here they found the missionaries and were baptized. Anyways the lesson was super spiritual. I felt the spirit sooo strong. I got like a spiritual boost haha which is something I really needed. This family got permission to go back home next Tuesday. They are really scared because they don't know what is going to happen to them. The Muslims are crazy over there and want to kill their son. But they have so much faith that everything is going to work out. It was an eye opener to me to realize that I need to have that much faith. I mean even when times get hard I need to realize that god is only doing this to me to help me. He's putting me through these trials to make me stronger. And even though there are times when I'm pleading to god asking him to take this burden from me.. He's not going to take it completely away from me because he loves me.. And he knows I will become strong through this. 

But yeah that was my spiritual story. anyways a lot more stuff happened.. but I'm out of time:) anyways Love you family and friends! Thanks for reading this letter... 

Hey Mum:)

How was your week?? I can't wait to read all about it! haha This week went pretty good! My comp made me be in charge of planning the whole week because Transfers are next week and she could be leaving so I was the one in charge haha not going to lie it was hard at times, and I'm a little scared that I'm going to be the one in charge once she leaves.. ahh just because I feel like I don't know anything? haha But that's ok the Lord will help me right;) I got your package!!!!! Thanks so much mom haha me and my comp are super excited to make some cake;) haha Now I'm just going to get super fat... wuhoo!! How was conference? We don't get to watch it tell next week. and We get to watch it in... Russian!!! haha yay.. We might get to watch it in english, but no promises so will see.. I'm kinda bummed that we don't get a chance to really watch it in English. I think this week I've really realized how important it is to listen to the prophet and his apostles. I guess when I was home I really took it for granted and I think Heavenly Father is showing me how important it is haha Which is good because now I won't ever take it for granted;) But this week were meeting with Dasha!! i'm super excited!! Were meeting before english group and I told her we can make American pancakes, so could you by chance send me the recipe for buttermilk pancakes and the syrup?? I'm going to come and print it off tomorrow so please don't forget to send it to me! Also I mailed home two letters for meg? For some reason the office can only mail to Utah and not anywhere else, so could you send those off to meg when you get it?? Haha well nothing really special this week. I've been super tired. That's the life of a missionary! Whoo;) But the work is going good!! This week were starting to do Young Womens! So that will be fun! The bishop is really working with us(which by the way we got a new bishop) and he is awesome!! We have been working with a lot of members which is awesome!! Anyways I love you! Hope things are going good:) I'll talk to you next week k:) LOVE YOU!!
