Пасха!!! Week #13

Well to start off I got a new companion!!! Wuhoo:):):) She is so awesome!! I'm not going to lie though the morning we went to transfers I was getting really nervous... Just because I am the oldest one that's been in our zone so if anyone has questions they have to ask me.. and I am the one that has to plan everything with my new comp and I don't know my mind was just going crazy!! But the whole way from Zgrad to Moscow I was telling Heavenly Father for everything I am grateful for. And your not going to believe how much that helped. I felt so comforted that by the time I got my new companion I was like ok I can do this;) Haha as everyone was getting ready to go one of the sister training leaders that I'm really close with came up to me and just asked how I'm feeling and doing. And I was just like " I'm nervous just because she doesn't know Russian a whole lot and I don't know Russian at all... Blah blah blah" and Sister Simmons was explaining to me that as she was talking to President Borders about transfers they were talking about me and who would be good for me. I guess Sister Simmons told him to put me with a companion that knows the language really well because... yano it's me;) and I guess she said they had things figured out and I guess President Borders got a strong impression that I needed to be with Sister Hansen. We she told me that I had the strongest feeling come over me. A confirmation that that was true!! After she told me that I was like ok. I got this! And ever since then I mean things have been stressful and hard, but I've had peace about the whole thing. And I'm happy! I'm finally to the point where I don't have to hang on my companions back anymore! We work together as a team and we help each other out!! 

Anywho a little bit about her.. She is a twin:) which is awesome!! Her sister is actually serving in St. Petes right now! I guess they got there calls on the same day, left the same day, and yeah both serving in Russia which is kinda nuts:) She's from Layton and she is way into like musical and singing, which I feel like that's what every sister here likes to do haha um I don't know what else to tell you except for she is awesome:)

Well for Easter we went Caroling to all the members in our ward! We were split up into 4 groups and we each had to get to 10 people. Now for some reason the Bishop decided to give us all the kids... So we were basically babysitting;) but hey I was laughing the whole time!! I pretty sure at least all of them tripped! One of the twins (that we baptized) scrapped his arm up pretty bad! The other ripped his pants... haha then there was this little boy who decided to pick up a cigarette off the ground and do who knows what with it?? Also when the cops walk by all the boys start yelling USA! USA! haha gosh it was an adventure:) But so funny and fun at the same time!! Also something you should know is Russians think they can sing.. but they can't! So were all just kinda singing whatever tune we felt like;) It was a lot of fun though. I love the youth and kids here so much. They just make me so happy and they are so awesome!! It was definitely a different Easter, but It was an Easter I will never forget:)

I hope everyone had a great Easter as well!! It's crazy to realize all that Christ did for us.. But he's incredible. He builds me up and helps me every day:) I hope you all have a great week! LOVE YOU ALL!!   

MUM!!

Well you sent me another long email so I'm guessing you had a pretty awesome easter;) I love you long emails!! They make my day every time:) Seems like from what I heard you had fun with the Richards. There kinda going inactive from what I understand.. That's really sad:( But I hope things get better for them. I got a new companion and she is awesome!! We get along really good. She reminds me of meg which just makes me happy:) I'm a lot more happy then I use to be which is weird because things are a lot harder... She is a little better at Russian then me but not by much so we have to really work together. I don't know but god put us together for a reason haha In a way it's good though because now I feel like we can actually work together instead of me hanging on my companions back? But I can tell things are going to be really hard with understanding and talking to people. But the lord is on our side. He won't leave us hanging;) It's been super warm this week which has been awesome!! i love it so much!! how is it at home?? Um to answer your question from last week.. things for my package.. Um new leggings preferably the nicer ones not the ones that you buy at like target? The like work out ones if that makes sense. Just because they last longer. and make sure they're medium because the large you got me are huge:) Um also hair repair stuff like oil and what not? Um maybe a new black pencil skirt and possibly a cute dress for spring:) have linds help you ;) and lotion! that's all I can think of right now. If there is more I will let you know! But thanks so much mommy!!!!!!! I love you so much. I miss you like crazy!! And I hope things are going good at home. Have a great week k:) Ps my stomach is doing good. I think the pills are really helping! Love you:)
