wow this week was great and crazy!
AND I GOT THE PACKAGE THANK YOU!!!
This week we got a little more settled in our house which is exciting!
lets see.. I don't have a lot of time so I will just share some highlights of the week!
On Tuesday we went out to a former investigator and knocked on her door
and told her that we were the missionaries but she came and opened the
door anyway! but she opened the door just a crack and was this old old
lady.. she was also holding just a sheet in front of her little old cute
naked body hahaha. so we told her who we were and asked if she
remembered us and did some chit chatting and then asked if we could
maybe come back and she said probably not.. so we were just planning on
leaving but then she just starts talking and talking and talking and
talking and I don't even know what she was talking about hahah ut she
just talked and talked and talked all while just standing behind this
sheet. we even kept asking her, "is this an inconvenient time?? maybe we
can come back later??" hahah but she just kept telling us all about
where she used to work and how she is sick now so she swims. man I
thought it was so funny and so weird haha.
We
meet with a sweet girl named Mxxxx. She is the granddaughter of a
member here that spends the summer in Krasnodar. She made us compote and
cake and we talked to her about spiritual armor! She is a cutie!
we
also found the best burger probably in the world. It is only $2.75 and
ssooo good. Like maybe even better than what is in America. we went
there last week and also today cuz America. :)

I also had a cool experience on Wednesday.. here is what I wrote to president:
"This
week i had a really cool experience. We had just had a lesson with a
members granddaughter who is not a member- Masha (maybe you remember
her? she was here for a month last year in the summer and was taught by
sister delong and misaraca) but our plans had fallen through that we had
planned for after our meeting with her. So we decided to pray. We went
to a park bench and prayed. As I prayed, I felt the sweet sweet
influence of the holy spirit come over me as I sincerely pleaded with
Heavenly Father to guide our path and to do what he would like us to do.
We tried to follow the thoughts and impressions that we received and
ended up going to a less active... On our way there though, I saw a mini
car accident and saw how both of the drivers were very civil to each
other and I just remember feeling the spirit again so strongly. I don't
really understand the ways of the Lord or know why I felt the spirit
then or why I was supposed to be there. .But I really have a testimony
that the Lord really speaks to me--Just me!-- through the spirit. It
really is amazing to realize that. I also realized during that prayer,
that maybe more often than not I am following MY plans and not the
Lords. Definitely has given me a lot to think about this week and I have
been trying to keep that sincerity and earnestly with me throughout the
week."
so now you also know that I wrote you differently than how I write president hahahah
but yeah that was a cool experience that I had.
Thursday we met with my favorite Axxxx. At the end of our meeting, after she
prayed she said, "you know, when you continue to pray and pay attention
you start to realize that there is someone there that listens and
cares." wow oh wow. It seriously was such an awesome moment:) I love Axxxxx and I love seeing her testimony grow!!
On Thursday we also found a leak in our apartment and so our landlord sent
over some people to fix it. These two kind men came and fixed our tub!
One was very grumpy and the other man was very old and very nice. The
older man knew some English so was trying to practice with us as the
other worked. Well anyway i think these two friendly gentlemen ended up
liking these two sweet sisters a little bit more than just a handy man
and renter relationship hahahah. The old man asked us for tea and so we
made these two men tea and sat in our kitchen and just talked about life
hahahaha. It was also one of the weirdest things that has happened on
my mission haha. But yeah we just talked a little bit about God and
about families and about how the old man has lots of children and lots
of wives haha. Oh man just gets weirder and weirder. But they were nice
and it is a good memory now! hahah
Friday
we went to Ikea and tried to start some natural conversations with
people.. don't know if that is legal on lots of levels.. but it worked
pretty well and we were able to just talk to people without trying to
yell at them on the street. It was cool! So if you go to Ikea and sit
down.. watch out for two cute missionaries because they are looking for
YOU. haha
we also got in with Sxxxxxxx again and we had a nice spiritual thought with her! She is a cutie:)
We
had an interesting taxi driver who taught us the longest word he knows
(48 letters) and also told us a bit more about Muslims and what he
believes and it was just really cool!
Saturday
we served rustam and then we went bike riding in Botanical gardens as a
ward activity!!! Oh man it was so so so fun! one of our poor members
ran into a fence though... she is ok! just hit her head and scuffed up
her hand. It just made me feel better to know that an accident has to
happen at every activity in Russia too.. It isn't just our wards thing;)
just teasing!!!
Lena didn't come to church this Sunday and we weren't able to get in contact to have a lesson.
nikolai is still out of town and his phone still isn't working
we
haven't been able to meet with Axxx.
but other than that our investigators are doing great!!!! hahaha
I have a visa trip on Friday but I think I leave at 7 and get back at like 7 so it isn't bad at all.
We get transfer calls on Friday as well. I am excited! I have to move this transfer.. or change comps.. right?? :)
Thank you all! Happy fourth of July! I love you all!
С большой любовью,сестра Price
