Well to start off I want to just say.. I hate goodbyes!! Leaving Zgrad was probably the hardest thing.. And I don't think I realized how much I loved it until I had to say goodbye to it yano? But I guess you got to do what you got to do. It kinda felt like I was saying goodbye to my family.. but now I'm here and It's time to build a new family right:)
Well, to start off pulling around all your luggage through the metro sucks.. but we did it:) haha The metro is basically my life. I feel like I live underground more then I do up on the surface? haha It takes so long to travel everywhere too, so we get a lot of contacting down.. Except it is ten times harder on the metro to contact then it is a bus.. K just picture it.. you walk in on the metro sit down next to someone and the doors close. No one is talking and all of a sudden we begin to move.. the metro is super loud so you turn to them and just start yelling in their ear? First of all they probably think your crazy for attempting to speak on the metro and second of all they can't hear you or probably understand you. And you have about 40 to 30 seconds to say what you want to say because they could possibly be getting off at the next stop. So that is metro contacting for you.. And I will say it is a success because I contacted someone on the metro my first day here and now she is a new investigator:) We had a lesson with her last week and now we have one with her today so I'm pretty stoked:) her name is Veeka and she is about 22 years old!! She seems interesting so will see:)
My comp is awesome. I don't really know how to explain her personality though.. She's super chill and can be quiet, but then at the same time she's not? She's from Idaho and she's been out for about a year. The best part is is she dominates at the language... So you can see why I'm pretty stoked;) My ward is awesome!! I feel like I'm at a single adults ward haha everyone is super young!! Which is so weird to me. It was fast and testimony meeting though and holy cow. These members are solid!! I'm super excited to get to know them more and really understand what their backgrounds are:) Always the funnest part! The one thing that's way hard is everyone is at their Dacha.. so it's hard to schedule meetings.. but that is ok:) Really quick there is this one lady who is paralyzed from the waste down. She was the first member I met!! She's super funny and speaks English perfectly!! She told me I look like a movie star and she told me next time she wants to film a little movie haha she also calls me Marlyn Monroe?? So I guess that is my new nickname ( she gives all the missionaries nicknames) But anyways she was way cool:)
Well there is a lot more I want to say, but I don't really have time!! There is a lot more action here that's for sure:) I've been yelled at, shoved, stalked, you name it:) so it's going to be a pretty fun adventure here in the streets of Moscow:)
Hey Mum!!!
Well it's official I am a city girl;) haha and it's so fun!! Way way different then zgrad, but I enjoy it!! The only bummer is I spend all my time in the metro so I'm basically living underground. It takes so long to get from one place to place, but other then that it's good!! My comp is awesome! She's been out for a year and dominates at the language which I'm so grateful for because she helps me a lot. She's from Idaho and I don't really know how to explain her mood? she's way chill though so that's good!! I think we get along pretty good so far so that's good:) Saying goodbye to everyone in zgrad was so hard.. my heart was breaking because I had just built a new family and of course you have to leave them.. haha which is probably what's going to happen here too;) How is Hawaii going?? I'm super jealous.. It's been sooo hot here holy cow.. So today I'm going to go buy some clothes if that's ok.. It's soo expensive here holy cow!! Like we can't buy a whole bunch of stuff at the store or then by the end of the month were out of MSF money, but oh well it makes me not eat a lot so that's good:) so what's new with the fam?? Things are going here! You'll probably hear about it in my daily letter. But know that I love you so much! I hope you have an awesome week and enjoy your time in Hawaii:) Soak up the sun for me:) Love you!!
