Well I did it!! Made it another week!! This week was a lot better then last week. I think I'm finally starting to get in the hang of things so that's really good. I still am not very good at Russian... But I think that is going to take a lot more time! So this week not a lot happened really? We contacted a ton.. Friday that's all we did!! We didn't get any ones number, but we had a couple of good conversations and that's all that matters:)
Well I forgot to mention in last weeks letter, but remember the story about the Philippine girl that we ran into on the streets? Karmee? Anyways my comp lost her number.. So we haven't been able to get a hold of her.. I'm not going to lie I was a little upset.. But I realized it's in the lords hands and whatever is meant to happen will happen. So I made a proposal last week that we do a sugar fast. We told HF that we won't eat sugar tell we find her. So I have faith that we will find her again. I'm not quite sure how? But we will:) So I'll keep you updated if a miracle happens!
Something else interesting that happened this week.. We had a lesson with that lady we met on the streets last Saturday. You know the one that came to church?? Anywho, her name is Gornara. She's kinda crazy, but super awesome:) Our first lesson with her went kinda crazy? She was telling us about all the churches she believes in and then her son came in and started hitting on us/ bashing on our church? Haha we barely got anytime to talk about what we believed because there was just so much talking from both of them. But she came to church again yesterday which was awesome!! She is a really cool lady. I feel so bad for her because she was telling us how her husband cheats on her and how her son hates her.. :( When she told us that my heart dropped. Because she is one of the most loving person I've ever met. On Sunday she told us that her son has been taking her to all these websites about the Mormons and how it's all a lie and whatever? Makes me mad that her son even cares?? So yeah that's what will be working with this next week!! But she said she feels something different about us and that's why she keeps meeting with us:) So that's awesome!
Hmm one more person I'll talk about today in this letter is Alexei... haha oh Alexei... I met him at English Group my first day. I'm not quite sure if he is all there... Haha but he entertains me so that's all that matters. He tells me all the time how he is going to talk to President Obama? Then the next thing you know he's telling me that he's going to be President of the United States?? He claims that he was baptized, but none of us really know?? Haha he said he got baptized in London, but we can't find his records anywhere. Then every time you invite him to church he says he's going to London? Yeah I don't really know. Everyday he tells me I'm going to be some famous Model. hahaha ahh so funny because he hates my companion and is so mean to her.. I feel kinda bad.. So I get mad at him all the time. He's just a funny Russian so that's why I wrote about him. Sorry you probably don't really care...
Well that's my week. We had some really good lessons with other people! So that's always good. It was a little warmer this week which made me happy. Um yeah, still trying to do my best every day. That's all I can do right? I can definitely feel the Lord is by my side though and that's all that matters to me. Well have a good week! Happy Valentines day:) Love you all! Sorry this letter is all over the place..
Hello MUM!!!
Well this week definitely went a lot better then last week. My home sickness is slowly going away so that is a blessing. I still miss you guys everyday though.. but that's normal right:) Sounds like you and dad had a lot of fun the other week. I'm super jealous.. haha but seems like things are going good at home. Russia is good. My apartment is warm so no worries:) It was pretty warm this week so that was really nice. We mostly contacted and taught lessons this week! Are you doing anything fun for Valentines day?? I'm will print of your letter after and see what you said, but I honestly have no time to read anything. I barely have time to write. But I've made it a goal to fast once a week and I'm just praying everyday and being very specific in my prayers. I'm asking so much from the lord right now I kinda feel bad.. But I need his help.. I hope your doing good and things are going good at home. I'm proud of you mom!! I love you so much. Hope you have a great Valentines day and give everyone my love k:)
