man this week was just crazy.
Monday
night we went looking for less actives and neither one of them answered
so we had a great night of street contacting! We actually ran into
another less active on our way to the other less active and talked to
her for a bit so that was pretty neat too. It was definitely a tender
mercy!
Tuesday we did some great contacting by
the River but IT IS JUST SO HOT there is like no one outside. So Sister Greenwood and I were talking about boats and boating and just how
badly we wanted to jump in the water...and right as we said that this
gorgeous (and silent haha) tour-like boat passes us in the river and we
just both went quiet and watched the boat pass with our mouths wide open
haha and it was so funny! BUT YES SUPER HOT!!! then that night we went
to Axxx to teach him but it didn't end up working out. We went there and
bought ice cream and everything to help them cool down and then they
weren't there.. they also live super far away so we just went home and
tried not to cry as we ate our ice cream in our sweat puddles.
hahahahahaha just kidding. We got to see Karin ( I realized I spelled it
like Karen in our last email.. you say it like car-in.. карен) and some
other hooligans which was nice.
Wednesday all
of our plans fell through except for the plan to go apartment hunting
with the Sisters so we went and looked at a couple of apartments with
them and a cute realtor but then we ended up not liking those ones. The
other sister had to leave but the realtor had more places to show us,
so we went with her and WE FOUND AN APARTMENT!!! yay!! It is crazy cool
hahaha and SO BIG. haha our last apartment was just two rooms, the
kitchen and then the living room/bedroom and in this one we have a
bedroom and a living room and a kitchen! So cool haha. Then that night
we taught English which was good but also not very good because we had a
lot of like comments that were really racist and political and one was
from a member of the church (THE SAME HOOLIGAN THAT FOUGHT WITH OUR
INVESTIGATOR MIND YOU - yeah don't put that in there haha) but it was
just kind of a bummer. But we were able to take to Nxxxx about her trip
to the temple- she is the only youth member in the Txxxxx branch and so
she comes up here sometimes for activities and went with the youth on
the temple trip. SHE IS SO AWESOME!
Thursday we
helped Oxxxxx put up wallpaper. Yeah who knew we can just put up our own
wallpaper???? Well we can hahahaha. Oxxxx is awesome. I will try and send
pics
Friday we packed and then went back to
Kxxxx and Axxx and cxxxx and lxxxx and taught the plan of salvation. It
was a great lesson! We used this little puzzle thing and it definitely
helped us stay focused:) Cxxx- the little girl that is probably about 3
or 4 asked me as we were sitting there, "почему вы все красны??" which
is "why are you all red???" hahahah it was so funny! she also asked why I
don't have any eyebrows so I guess all those years of teasing Zach is
coming back to bite me hahahahah. I also gave them the play dough that
you sent me mom and THEY ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!!! seriously they were just
playing and playing and playing and even the mom lxxxx was playing and
saying, "I have never seen anything like this before!!" so cool and
sweet:0 so thank you mom! and they said to tell you thanks!!
Friday
we finished packing up our whole house which was an adventure.. Sister Greenwood and I just laughed and laughed last night as we were laying
in bed thinking about how it is crazy how long we have been together and
that we had to move together and that we are now just like an old
married couple. haha man.
But yeah we packed
all day Friday and then we finished packing Saturday. the Johnstons came
and helped us take down our bunk bed and table and then helped us clean.
we ate at the sisters all together (because we used ot live in the same
building.. going to miss that!) and then us the johnstons, the sisters
and elders all helped us move into our new apartment and then stayed
the night helping us clean our new apartment. CRAZY
We still
are not quite settled in.. but getting there. we also keep finding funny
things that we didn't see before or just funny things keep happening.
We slept in our apartment last night and then night before and we have
these two beds right next to each other. Last night, sister greenwood
was telling me that she thought the bed broke a little the night before.
so she gets into bed all ready for the night and I ask her if it feels
broken and she says, "yeah it feels a little saggy" and I kid you not
right after that, the bed breaks hahahahaha. Man it was so funny.
But
anyway. Yesterday was a miracle day at church!! we had so many less
actives and some new people and old people and young people! It was just
awesome. BUT THE BEST PART... LXXX CAME BACK TO CHURCH!!! Our old
investigator that had a baptismal date! she stayed for all three hours
and then asked us to do a lesson with her. It was awesome and such a
miracle:)
Also Sister Greenwood forgot how to
lead during sacrament so a cute member on the back row just stood up and
was helping her lead haha. I didn't see it but she was telling me about
it and how she was just so lost and looked at the very back and he was
just waving his arms. She said she still couldn't get it but that it was
a good help hahahha.
Man crazy weird week this week. Hoping we can settle down and get back into the work.
I love you and miss you all! tell my goober brothers to email me.
Love ya!
С большой любовью,сестра Price
