This
week was great! many of you are probably wondering what in the world us
volunteers are doing over here in Russia. SO ARE WE hahahahahaha:) <br /></div>
Pretty
much this week has been crazy weird but nonetheless crazy good. So as
volunteers we are now having a daily VTC.. Volunteer training center. It
isn't anything big but we just get together as volunteers here in Volgograd and the areas surrounding and we do language study, Russian
history, and a spiritual part as well. Pretty much I love VTC! It is
great and we have that everyday. 3 hours. We also have studies... and
then every companionship is assigned to stay at the branch for 3 hours
everyday. So pretty much it feels super weird to be here at the branch
or at home with nothing to do.. well of course there is always stuff to
do and things to study.. but going from "if you aren't on the street 5
minutes after you finish studies then something isn't right" to "yes
that is what we are saying. don't street contact and stay off the
streets so if you don't have a meeting with a member.. you are staying
home." definitely weird. Sister Lindquist bought a guitar last week and
we were asked to turn in our white handbooks so I mean if that says
anything hahaha (update: we used the guitar for a devotional and the
white handbooks have been returned haha) but pretty much it is just
really really weird and I can't really describe it.. HOWEVER these past
two weeks have been some of the most spiritual of my mission. I
literally have moments where I am overwhelmed with the spirit and I feel
the confirmation that this is the Lord's plan. I honestly think that we
will be seeing miracles here in Russia and honestly this is what the
Russian people need- love and service. Not a snot nosed American telling
them that everything they have believed for generations is whack.
(maybe edit that sentence out hahahaha) </div>

But yes lots of
changes coming to the mission! As of right now, any person that we teach
needs to be very advanced in the teaching process, sign a paper that
says that they are "following" the church -(so pretty much with the
intent to be baptized) and we can't teach without a member there.
However we can still visit members and less actives at their homes or at
the branch.. the only thing is that if they have a non member there we
can not answer their questions.. but the member can. So yes lots of
member focus now. <br /></div>
On the streets we can not stop and talk
to people, but if we have a natural conversation we can give facts about
the church- like where it is or what time is starts, but we can not
invite and we can't testify. so yeah that one has been hard. The first
couple of days after I remember just watching people pass with a knot in
my stomach knowing that I can't share with people that God exists. But
there will be times and I can do it in other ways:)</div>

BUT ANYWAY YES THIS WEEK WAS GOOD<br /></div>
Tuesday we met with the branch president and his wife; Mxxxx and Pxxxxx!! they
are awesome and these two young bucks. They both work at Teleperformance
(ZACH SHOUT OUT) and love it! They gave us lots of good advice on
things that we can do as volunteers to help the branch out. They are
awesome! <br /></div>
<span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1158427463" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Wednesday</span></span>
we met with Sxxxxxxx and he is just so awesome. I love teaching him! he
has a lot of faith and a desire to know everything! During our lesson we
did a how to begin teaching point that says, " Sxxxxxxx we don't know
everything and we can't answer every question that you have.. but we
want to help you understand everything a little bit better!" and right
after that he said, "who told you?" hahahah it was so funny! <br /></div>
<span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1158427464" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Thursday</span></span>
we had the best VTC ever. man I absolutely loved it. We talked about
the scattering of the 12 tribes of Israel and what that means for us
serving in Russia.. and then we had a huge spiritual discussion about
the plan of salvation and wrote down every question or concern that we
have had or that we have heard about the plan of salvation and sat down
and tried to find answers to them in the scriptures. It was just a
really really neat VTC and it really spoke to me for some reason.. As I
sat there with all of these 18-20 year olds discussing the meaning of
life I had the distinct thought, "we aren't like regular 18-20 year
olds" hahaha </div>
But I invite you to find a safe spiritual place-
with friends or family or in your ward or even with your bishop and
stake president and ask those questions that you have always wondered
about and never asked for one reason or another.. AND THEN GO TO WORK.
STUDY IT OUT WITH PRAYER. I can promise you that you can find your
answer in the scriptures. <br /></div>
<span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1158427465" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Friday</span></span> we had an awesome spiritual thought with a member Katya!<br /></div>
<span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1158427466" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Saturday</span></span>
the Volgograd branch had a baptism! Rxxxxxx! Rxxxxxx is awesome !We
have lots of Africans here in our branch that are going to school andRxxxxxx is one of them. he has an awesome testimony and a love for God.
Great guy! <br /></div>
we also met with Jxxxxx that day who is a recent
convert. She is a cutie! She was going on this super long story and
just talking and talking and I was just loving it. Man she is a cute old
lady! <br /></div>
<span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1158427467" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Sunday</span></span>
was kind of crazy! We had church in center and then left to
tracktorney-- and people came !we had three lovely ladies there:) I gave
a talk as did elder Osborn and Sergei and it was a good little meeting!
After we had banana bread and tea of course:) and then we came back
home for a few minutes.. had a crazy panic attack about food for the
devotional.. threw some beans in a pot and then headed out to the
church! we had a great devotional put on by sister Lindquist and I! And
afterwards we all ate this crazy dinner together that all the
missionaries put together last minute... potato casserole.. veggies...
bread... cheese... meat... and a fruit salad.. not too shabby for the
day before pday!!!! haha <br /></div>
<span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1158427468" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Monday</span></span> we had zone training and learned some more of what we can and can't do. It was a good zone training with good pizza!!! </div>
We
are now looking at service opportunities.. like maybe teaching English
at schools or other humanitarian projects.. working in libraries.. or
maybe even helping in music schools. It is all up in the air but we are
pretty much looking for service!! <br /></div>
Today we went to Mamaya Gorgon. She is amazing !It is also creepy because she is built on a
giant grave.. of 34,500 people. So yeah for war towns! haha</div>

--while
splitting up names on the ward list.. everyone is taking notes except
for one companionship.. he asks who has who.. other elder-- "uh well..
well you gotta do it." hhaha<br /></div>
--"good observation, sister mustache"<br /></div>
-- "thank you all for making out <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1158427469" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">tonight</span></span>"</div>
"do you want to rephrase that??"<br /></div>

<span style="font-size: 14px;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Dear Pioneers,<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As
we seek to find a new path for the Church to grow in Russia we can now
aptly be called pioneers — those who go before to lead the way or forge a
new path. As we write this, July 24, we mark the 169th anniversary of
the arrival of the first Saints in the Salt Lake Valley. Being a pioneer
necessarily means some level of uncertainty because, after all, we are
traveling where few or none have tread before. It takes some
experimentation to find the best path, some trial and error. We have to
be willing to explore new routes, even make a few mistakes. It isn’t for
those who prefer to be told exactly how to do things, those who would
rather not act but be acted upon. Being a pioneer is for those with an
adventurous spirit who, when presented with a challenge, respond with,
“Hey, this is going to be fun and interesting. Let’s do it!” </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It’s
now incumbent upon us to find a new path, a better path. We will learn
incrementally, step-by-step. We will learn from one another. It may take
some time to establish this new path but we are the ones chosen to do
it. Remember Mordecai’s words to Esther when he presented her with a
plan to save the Jews, "and who knoweth whether thou art come to the
kingdom for such a time as this?” (Esther <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_974031334" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">4:14</span></span>) Do you think it is a coincidence we were sent to Russia at this time? I don’t think so. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I
feel to stand and shout like Brigham Young and Heber C. Kimball did
when they left their families to commence their mission to Great
Britain. They were so sick they were being carried off in the bed of a
wagon. The families they were leaving behind were just as sick. They had
travelled a very short distance when they told their driver to stop.
Gathering their courage and all their strength they muscled their way to
their feet, waved their hats over their heads three times and shouted
as loudly as they could, “Hurrah, hurrah, for Israel!” Such is the
spirit of a pioneer.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
With love,</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
President Miner</div>

WOW
THIS WEEK HAS BEEN CRAZY!!! I don't know if you want to send this one
out. I am going to be very very very brutally honest and a lot of it is
just for fam:) but edit if you want and take out all the negative or
weird stuff and then you can share hahahaha<br /></div>
highlights from this week:<br /></div>
we contacted for a total of 34 hours this week. </div>
I have lost 100 pounds from the sheer sweat that has dropped from my forehead and sad armpits </div>
my
body is sore and my spirit is exhausted:) but we have loved doing the
work of the Lord this week! Thank you for your prayers. It is the only
thing that has gotten us through this week:)<br /></div>
BUT YES!!!
this week was awesome! I came in on Tuesday from the sleeper train which
was great besides the fact that the toilet was so gross, I woke up in
the middle of the night feeling like I was in a box and I had such a
vivid dream that my leg was all bloody. Bloody garments even. Weird
hahaha. But it was so fun and we got to see lots of Russia and just got
to sleep in a sleeper train!!! haha<br /></div>
Then pretty much for
the rest of the week we were on the street. It was really really hard.
Not going to lie. Not a lot of people wanted to talk. We only received 6
numbers and one day we were just on the street the whole day with just
"no's." we got pretty discouraged and got to the point where the only
thing we could do was hand out cards without even trying to stop
people.. which in the end was probably better because now people have
our information. <br /></div>
Wednesday I was registered in the city
which gave us a little break from contacting. We ate sharma and got to
meet the other missionaries. I am super excited to serve here! the
missionaries here are awesome and so funny! <br /></div>
Saturday I got
the meet the recent convert Sxxxxxx who is just so solid and was
baptized last week. We talked all about the priesthood and the temple
and there were lots and lots of questions. HE is so cool though and is
making plans to take the gospel back to India and so he was asking
questions about how he can make it possible in India. SO COOL! <br /></div>
ah no time! <br /></div>
Sunday I spoke in sacrament! I absolutely love the branch. We have the regular Russians but then we also have a lot of Africans that are here studying
that speak English. I didn't get to talk to them a lot but they already
seem so friendly and inviting. The whole branch! Definitely a change of
pace. <br /></div>
we also work with the tracktorney branch which was a
thriving branch, had some unfortunate things happen, was closed for
like 3 years and now we are opening it up again! about 5 members come.
Unfortunately, no one came this week but we still held a little
sacrament meeting with us, the elders and the branch missionary worker.
it was amazing honestly. such a neat experience. JUST WISH I HAD MORE
TIME TO TELL YOU EVERYTHING Hhahaha:)<br /></div>
Monday I went on
Splits with sister Kykla which was great! She is a Russian sister (of
the 2 that we have in our mission) and is just amazing. <br /></div>
fun week! <br /></div>
I love you all!! <div class="yj6qo ajU">

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Hello friends and family!!! THIS WEEK HAS BEEN CRAZY! so much to tell you:)</div>
<div>
this week has been a week of service, trips, and lots of new news and changes:)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
First off we are all safe and fine and healthy and happy in good old Russia:) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Monday
we had FHE with the Johnstons and we translated for them. Sxxxxxxx the
recent convert less active that we have been trying to get in contact
with ACTUALLY CAME!!! Such a miracle I can't even explain it. SO NEAT!!
As much as it has been hard to serve in one place for so long, I have
seen more tender mercies and felt the gravity of them more because of my
time here. I see all of the months of work and growth that accompany
such big changes and it really has just been so beautiful to witness:) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Tuesday
I went on Splits with Sister Faddis!! It was so fun! we went to Ixxxx Mxxxxxxxx . and it was the 5th of july,..... Well I was thinking as we
were painting her wall and I realized that exactly 7 months earlier I
was also in her house taking wall paper off of her wall ON MY BIRTHDAY!!
it was so cool! exactly 7 months. Crazy:) she is such a
cutie and goes on these big laughing sprees and always yells, "это
шутка!!!!" which means "It's a joke!!!" man she is so funny. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
That
night we went to a less active Lxxxxx that the other sisters work with
and read the Book of Mormon with her. It was really cool to meet with
her too because the last time that I worked with her was when I was with Sister McMurray! she is a cutie and going through some hard times right
now.. she is debating between two different churches right now, ours
and I think baptist?? yeah a little strange but she agreed to read the Book of Mormon all the way through! so she is awesome! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Wednesday
we went and served Axxxxx at the house he is building. pretty much I
stood in this huge pit and we took buckets of water out of the pit. It
was really fun haha. He was doing some piping and ending up duct taping
a lot of the piping... hahah things are just different here:) I love
doing service like that! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
we then went to Oxxxx's and helped her put up her wallpaper again! it was great !</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Thursday I had my Visa trip and it is honestly the nicest visa trip I have ever been on. We left at <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_974031339" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">4:30</span></span>
and went from K-dar to Moscow , then to Armenia from Moscow, and then
instead of going back to Moscow and then to Krasnodar, we went straight
from Armenia to Krasnodar. We got home like at <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_974031340" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">9:30</span></span>
which is sssooo nice. Less than 24 hours is always good! It was a fun
visa trip too. I was with sister Sommers and Robinson and I love them
both:) we always eat in the Armenian airport (well i guess not always..
just when there is time) and it was as delicious as always. I also
talked with a really cool guy on the plane who was the coordinator of a
stadium being built in Krasnodar. We had this whole long conversation in Russian and then he asked for my facebook so I tried to write something
in Russian and he said, "or your can write in English. oh yes I also
know English" hahahahaha YOU KNEW ENGLISH THE WHOLE TIME?!?! haha but he
was really nice! He has heard of the church and one day will be a
member, I just know it! :)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
THURSDAY NIGHT WE GOT TRANSFER CALLS.....</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am being transferred to Volgograd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<wbr></wbr> </div>
<div>
woo
hoo! I am sososososoososososos excited!!! I will be working with
sister Lindquist that just got out of training, so she has been in
Russia for 3 months. She is the newest missionary that we have in our
mission. I am super excited! It is definitely going to be a change but
Sister Lindquist just looks like such a cutie:) they actually had a
baptism on Saturday with a man that Sister greenwood and Sister Jarvis
met on the street. so it looks like the work is just going great! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Things I know about Volgograd:</div>
<div>
it is 14 hours away from Krasnodar on a night sleeper train ( WHICH I WILL BE TAKING TONIGHT FROM <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_974031341" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">7pm-9am</span></span>. I KNOW SO FUN!!!!) </div>
<div>
people call it the "dust bowl"</div>
<div>
the
biggest river in Russia is located in Volgograd and Sister Greenwood
said we will drive over it every time to go to the branch. </div>
<div>
they have "real" marshrutka's there.. hahahaha </div>
<div>
people say it is a super long city. </div>
<div>
the big "mother Russia" statue is located in Volgograd and we should be living close to it.</div>
<div>
i
think that is about all I know right now. I AM SO INCREDIBLY EXCITED I
CAN'T EVEN TELL YOU!!!!!! YYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYY<wbr></wbr>YYYYYYYYYYYYYY! </div>
<div>
oh I have also heard that the branch is just amazing and that a lot of people speak English!!! so cool! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Friday we met with Axxxxx and Vxxxxxx:) my favorites:) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Saturday we went to our investigator Lxxxxx's graduation.. but then we didn't feel
too good about it and it was a little different than what we were
thinking so we left early. But she graduated!! so woo hoo! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We
also saw Tatiana on the street which was a tender mercy! and we met
with Viola. mind you, we had literally no plans for the day and all
these things popped up. I just feel like the lord has been really
mindful of me because I have seen so many random people that I have made
friendships with in the last nine months as "coincidences" haha it
really has been so neat. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sunday was great. I
got to bear my testimony and take pictures with members:) they are all
so sweet and I am seriously going to miss Krasnodar! but I am so so
excited to start new in Volgograd:) It is like a fresh page!!! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
YEAH!!! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Lots
of people have asked about the new Russian law. I can't say a lot.
pretty much, we had heard of the possibility of the law.. the law became a
law this week (we were all in shock... and still in shock) and now we
are just trying to figure everything out. The law goes into effect on
the 20th so we will literally be spending every second over the next 10
days on the street in an effort to find people. Please send your prayers
for the missionaries here for strength and hope. and please pray for
the people in Russia that we will talk to that their hearts will be
softened. As missionaries we are not supposed to ask for group prayers
or fasts, and I guess I am not really, but know that missionary work
here needs your help and I know that through your faith, we can and will
see miracles. I am excited to hit the streets! I feel as if the Lord
has sent us here for a reason and I just feel this sense of urgency to
share the work. I may have only 10 days left on my mission of street
teaching.. and that is really weird to think about. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyway,
to answer your question, yes! everything is fine here and safe, we will
just change our tactics. I will also send out the big email that
president sent that explains more. Also look at the baptism picture, the
girl in the picture with the brown hair and bangs is my new cute
companion!!! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I
love you all and i am so happy and feel so blessed for this sacred time
to be a missionary. I have been thinking a lot about being a missionary
and how it is important not even to take the little things for granted
(like talking to someone on the bus). The time we have been given is
precious:) I love you all so much!!! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
NEXT WEEK FROM VOLGOGRAD!!!!!!!!! :) </div>

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. </div>

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."</span></div>

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!! </div>

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</div>

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 </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1469581732797_2899">

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!!! </div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
man this week was just crazy. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
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! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
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. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
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! </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
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</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
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!! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
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. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
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</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
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. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
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:)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
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. </div>
<div>

<div>
Monday we had an awesome meeting
with the lxxxxxxxx family that I visited with Sister McMurray.. so the
last time we got in with them was like 6 or 7 maybe 8 months ago?? (heck
i don't know.. what month is it ?? haha) but it was such an awesome
meeting! We had chocolate cake that was delicious and it looked like the
cake from matilda so i shared that movie with her and i pretty much
think that we are good friends now haha. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We
went to Axxxxx's on her birthday! It was fun haha man I love her. she is
awesome. She loves doing the crossword puzzle and can't see very well
so she just always has this big magnifying glass in front of her face
when she does the puzzle, but then forgets to take it down when she
talks to us haha. her friend txxxxxxx went over with us again too. They
are just a hoot! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We visited Vxxxxxxx and to
our surprise, lxxxxx and her kids where there too! with the neighbor
kids! so we just had this huge party haha. We tried to give a spiritual
thought-- and we did, but man it was hard because I swear everything bad
that could have gone bad happend haha. The swing broke that sxxxx was
swinging in, kxxxx fell off a bike he wasn't supposed to be on and
scraped his leg and hit his head, the kids were killing lizards and just
running and falling everywhere and to top it all off sxxxxx fell out of
the wheelbarrow and cut her lip open and so she was bleeding everywhere.
So then I almost passed out and it was just a nightmare
hahahahahhahahahaha. I am just teasing. It really wasn't bad, but it was
just kind of comical everything that was happening haha. I love both
vxxxxxxxx and lxxxx. They are cuties and just such the greatest moms:) SO
CUTE!! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We had our last lesson with Nxxxxxxx
before he left for work. We taught him about fasting and tithing and
fast offerings and everything was good. He has been taught all of the
lessons and is ready for baptism. Now we just need to wait for him to
come back:) keep him in your prayers that he can retain his testimony
that he has gained. Don't we all need those kinds of prayers??:)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I
went on splits with Sister Kennard and it was SO good:) Sister Kennard
is amazing and is just so sweet and caring. It was a great day! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Saturday
we went FAR out of the city and served a member out there. She fed us
the most delicious soup and cabbage stuff and we painted her fences. She
is such a cutie:)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Well i feel like I don't have many words this week! It was a really good week! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I
have been a bit more homesick these past couple of weeks than I have
lately. Not nearly as bad as when I first came out, but just know I am
thinking of you all and missing you all a lot:)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
HAPPY FATHERS DAY DAD!!! </div>
<div>
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY MASON!</div>
<div>
CONGRATS ON THE CONFETTI BABY! </div>
<div>
HAPPY STRAWBERRY DAYS!!! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
please eat some strawberries and cream for me. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
OH
the temple trip! I heard it was great! One youth (well I guess young
single adult.. I think he is my age or older) went on the temple trip to
take out his endowments and was stopped in St. Petersburg and wasn't
allowed to cross the border... so he did not make it to the temple.. but
the rest of the group did. I know doesn't that just tear at your heart
strings?? But they got back today and I heard it was just wonderful. </div>
<div>
I love you all! </div>

I feel like this week we were really made instruments in the hands of the Lord because we had a lot of really cool lessons and we talked to a lot of really cool people! </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
We met with Nxxxxx twice this week. We taught him the Word of Wisdom and law of chastity and he totally is good with them! haha but it was kind of a nightmare on our law of chastity lesson because we had a member that we invited there.. and a member that was in the room and wouldn't leave hahah which was fine! but during the lesson we starting talking about forgiveness and he starting arguing with the other member and then started arguing with Nxxxxxx. Yeah TALK ABOUT A NIGHTMARE. ugh man yeah that was rough. I finally had to just yell at the member that was arguing to get him to stop haha.. not my proudest missionary moment:) But we talked to Nxxxxx after and he seemed a little upset, but I think everything is ok. He came to church <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1050848373" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Sunday</span></span> too and he has finally figured out his work schedule. He is leaving on the 19th and will be gone for a month.. and wants to be baptized when he comes back. I shed a couple of tears after talking to him haha. In a month, it will be the end of the transfer. I don't know which makes me more sad, being transferred after this transfer or staying hahaha. UGH. but the good news is that his will probably be baptized, just maybe not when I am here:) </div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
It was so funny when we were teaching the Word of Wisdom because we told him all the things that we can't have and then we are waiting to see if he had anything to say and he is just quiet for a little bit and then says, "water" and then started explaining why water was so good hhaahahahah man it was so funny. Also after our law of chastity lesson, we were walking to the tramby stop and we are just getting on the tramby and I say, "thanks Nxxxxxx we love you!" and he seems a little taken off guard and then says, "Sisters, I respect you!" hahahahah man it was just so funny. He is so cute! </div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
We also went to a Russian hospital this week to meet with a former/potential. We were just planning on going up to her room, but the hospital has like this gate thing and they will only let one person go up at a time so we just stayed down in the lobby as they came down to us. It was Axxxxxxx and Gxxxxxx. they are just these two cute old people who say they practically live at the hospital. Gxxxxxx is just the cutest old man and reminds me of Santa and Grandpa Price. We went out and started walking and talking together and getting ot know them (because they called us and asked us to come and we don't know who they are haha) and I got the worst nose bleed. (I seem to be getting them more often then ever before?? I've had like 3 really bad ones) so the next 30 minutes Gxxxxxx was just a cutie and helped me with my giant nose bleed as Sister Greenwood and Axxxxxxxxx got to know each other:) Gxxxxxxx has actually read the book of Mormon too! yeah I know right??? at the end of our meeting, they asked us to help at the hospital. Which I don't really think we can do.. but yeah haha anyway they were cute. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
We met with Axxxxxx and she said that she doesn't feel any love from the branch.. Only after railing on us for about 40 minutes. We were just speechless. But it was one of my favorite lessons. We didn't really say anything but she just told us everything she doesn't agree with or believe. and then kept going and said she doesn't feel the love. We didn't even try to help her with her concerns- she doesn't want us to help her through them . We just told her that we love her and we are going to her house for her birthday this week:) </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1050848374" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Friday</span></span> we had zone conference and it was awesome! We learned lots of great things but the coolest thing happened during a role play that Sister Greenwood and I had with President Miner. The Zone leaders asked us to practice teaching using the pamphlets and then to role play it in conference with another missionary. Well we ended up teaching President Miner (who was playing someone else- you know how it works haha) and pretty much the spirit was so strong we had to stop because we had brought President to tears:) I was holding back tears too. It was really neat! Really really cool and honestly one of the coolest moments on my mission. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
On a less serious note, the Sisters sang the song "Consider the Lillie's" and there is a line that says "consider the sweet tender children" and our biggest goal for zone conference was to not laugh at that line because the night before we read it as, "the sweet tender chicken.." added to the fact that we had KFC for lunch hahahah.. well we didn't laugh so it was a success!! haha </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
We went out to the cemetery with Rxxxxxx yesterday and met his mom:) it was a really sweet experience:)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
We also met with our investigator who loves chess, Sxxxxxx at the park </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
we met Rxxxxxxx's wife </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
ugh just so much to say but no time. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
I guess I will just leave you with this thought that Sister Kennard shared with us for Zone Conference. We were talking about faith and this was pretty much the majority of the thought:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
when ever I heard about having faith to move mountains, I always thought about the whole mountain moving in an instant--a magic occurance. I have learned now though that it isn't like that.. but having faith to move mountains means having enough faith to go to the mountain everyday and take one rock and move it to a different place. And do the same thing every day until you have done enough work and moved enough little rocks to eventually move a mountain. Maybe one day you can take 5 and maybe the other day you just bring a pebble:)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
I thought about this and I absolutely LOVE it. The day we found Nxxxxxx, I can honestly tell you I did not have faith to set a baptismal date or teach all the lessons in an hour.. BUT I did have enough faith to say hello to someone with the intentions of asking them about God and giving them a card. I just see how with Nxxxxxxx I have seen how my own faith has grown and I think it has grown in the same way that is talked about in the moving mountains parable. I look back and see the mountain that we have moved.. even though it started with the pebble of talking to someone on the street:)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">

In primary, there is a window that opens up to this little ledge that the kids like to play on so sometmes the kids get away and "jump out the window" onto the little ledge and then scoot on their bums down to the ground and it happened a few weeks ago when Sister Kennard first got to primary. She said she wrote an email home entitled "it is all fun and games until someone jumps out of a window" anticipating writing about primary... and she forgot to write about it!!!! hahahah man I thought that was so funny hahah ANYWAY </div>

This week was great! On Monday we had our last P-day hoorah as a district so we played some sick volleyball and then went and ate at subway together! It was fun but also so sad hahah. I loved that district and I was with Elder Tolokonikov and Elder Tucker and Sister Moore for SIX MONTHS OF MY MISSION! It is just crazy and hard to see people leave! But I am excited for the new district:) they are already awesome! </div>

First off this week was super hard for Sister Greenwood and I. Like super hahaha. BUT I read the general conference talk "Beware of Pride" and it was definitely humbling (ba dum tsssss) and we are working hard together to idk be better! hahahah I just really feel like I am in the refiners fire right now and I am feeling the heat:) But it is so awesome to see and feel myself changing. The Lord is teaching me some great lessons right now- I just don't really know what or why or how it will help me hahaha;) But we had a good old talk and things are just dandy now and I think it can only go up from here:) <br clear="all" /><div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We met with Nxxxxx two different times this week. He is just so incredibly awesome and just wow oh wow. Here is the thing about teaching Nxxxxx-- we don't understand a word he says hahahahahaha. Seriously we have such a hard time! He talks so fast and goes off on these rants and he has this weird russian accent thing where all of his "g's" are "h's" and a little bit of a stutter and I think he is very poetic hahaha so all around we just sit there and nod our heads and just pray our guts out haha. It is gets a little bit easier with every lesson but wow. Still hard hhahaha. But we taught him the Plan of Salvation and the gospel of Jesus Christ. Member Dxxxxx helped us on both and he is just awesome. But the last lesson we had, Nxxxxx was telling about a time when he was on a mountain or something and how he just felt free and it must have been quite the experience because his arms were flailing and just going at it and then Dxxxxx shared an experience he had when he had a dream where he was in Hell. and then it was so funny because Dxxxxxx goes off on this whole dream about when he was in hell and everything and doesn't really testify of anything and then closes in the name of Jesus Christ. Sister Greenwood and I both kind of looked at each other.. did some solid testifying and THEN closed in the name of Jesus Christ haha. Also that lesson was an hour and a half. Man that was a good lesson but also terrible hahahaha. But Nxxxxxx wants to be baptized! he has something with documents and work that is making it so he can't commit to a date.. he also might be leaving on the 18th to Moscow or Tuapse so we might have a baptism with him not this saturday but the next... We aren't really sure but he wants to be baptized! he also came to church and brought his daughter (who is probably like 14) and she is so cute! and a trooper. She went to Sunday school and Young Womens. She is just so cool. </div>

We met an old man Sxxxxxx last week in botanical gardens (my favorite place in Krasnodar I think) and we went back and had a lesson with him! We tried to have the restoration, but after the question, "what does God need from us?" we launched into the plan of salvation. It was a bit scattered too hahah but it was good! He doesn't really have a desire to come to church or pray, but he really listens and I think he is really looking for truth. Also he has met with missionaries before ( I don't know if just on the street or like met met) and so he asked us, "Why do mormons like to eat so much??" haha idk he is just a cute old man that likes to play chess. I told him Jared likes to play and he was like, "what?? what ranking is he? has he played in competitions??" haha so cute.</div>

We had a HUGE rain on Wednesday. We were at the branch after teaching Nxxxxxx and having english club and it was just CRAZY. The only thing we could do was run home haha so we BOOKED it out and caught a tramby and we were soaked! Then when we were running home there were puddles in the road that went up to our knees hahah it was crazy! but everyone is ok. </div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Also on Thursday we went to a park to contact. It was also rainy that day so not a lot of people were at the park. We were about to go home when we saw an old man on a bench listening to old american music. so we danced over haha and talked with him. He was nice but not super interested but as we were takling this other old man came over and wanted to talk but man he was crazy hahha. He pulled out a token on a string and was swinging it around and telling us that we were from the devil because we were Jehovah's Witnesses and so our other old friend said, "they aren't Jehovahs Witnesses!" and then he stopped waving the token around haha. Then he started talking to me about his beliefs about how the second Christ lives in Chicago and is selling self healing books there. He was also telling me abou thow he sends his soul out and brings it back in order to heal people. And then about how his granddaughter was born withought any hips. All in all it was just one of the weirdest conversations I have ever had haha. So while I was talking to old mr crazy and sister Greenwood was talking to old mr gentleman ANOTHER old lady comes over and asks, "what are you guys talking about over here??" hjahahaha so i say, "well.. we are talking about all of our different beliefs!" hahah so she stayed there and listenend to the crazy guy talking to me some more and then started to leave so I went with her and asked her more about herself. She was honestly one of the nicest people I have met in Russia. The skin around her lips were wrinkled like she has been mad her whole life and she just told me about all of her friends that have tried to convert here and then shared a couple of parables with me. She ended up not really wanting to give us her information or anything, but we had a great conversation and even hugged at the end:) she is so cute!!!! After, Mr old crazy left and mr old gentleman showed us a tree and then invited us to play basketball with him-- He's 80!!!! hahaha so funny and cute. ( he is the man in the picture by the carosel!) </div>

On friday we had an appointment with less active Axxxxx and we walked to her house and we see her and a non-member who comes to church but isn't interested Txxxxxxxx outside her building. Turns out she got locked out and then Txxxxxxxx walked by and then she called member Vxxxxxx to come and help. He finally showed up after sassy Axxxxx and Txxxxxxx and us were talking hahahaha and then in the end, Vadim ended up opening up the door with a crow bar haha. We all went in and had tea (well hot water and jam for the sisters haha) and they were just talking and talking and talking. And they just sound like they are fighting haha every russian conversation just sounds like a big fight hahaha. But they were talking about how a rich person could never marry a bum and they just went on and on and on and on about it haha. We shared some scriptures with them in the end and that is how we had a lesson with a less active, active, and non member all in one meeting hahaha. It was so fun! I love the people here so much:)</div>

Tuesday we worked on the member book and I am SSOO happy we got it done. It was a lot of work! But all the missionaries got together (and may have ordered a pizza or two..??:)) and busted it out! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Wednesday we met with Vxxxxxx and such a miracle happened- her husband Axxxxxx came home from service and sat in with us on the spiritual thought!!!! It was also such a tender mercy that we planned to just talk about the Book of mormon. It was really awesome. I can see his heart softening and I don't know if he will be ready any time soon to accept the gospel, but he is getting closer and closer:) SO COOL!!!! That was literally one of my mission goals too was to have a spiritual thought with Axxxxx so I mean, there we go:) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We also had a lesson with our investigator Nxxxxxx on Wednesday. he is reading the Book of Mormon and told us about how when he read it he just kept feeling the chills all up and down his arms. SO COOL. So we talked about the Holy Ghost and how we can know truth and also committed him to baptism. We ddin't decide on a day, but he said he will be baptized:) WE also watched meet the mormons that night as an activity and 4 of our potentials came!!! IT WAS AWESOME!!! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Thrusday I was on splits with Sister Kennard and SIster Sommers as our companions flew to Armenia for their visa trip. We did service at Axxxxx's, visited a primary age girl from church in the hospital who fell out of a tree, and then we met with Sister Kennard and Moore's investigator and helped her translate a document and then ate dinner with her. Oh also Sster Sommers was on splits with Elder and Sister Johnstons for like a day because me and Sister Kennard went up to Rostov on thursday night hahaha. SO FUNNY. She said it was super nice and Elder Johnston got up early and made breakfast for them all. Sounded like a party! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
That night Sister Kennard and I went up to Rostov and hung out with the Sisters there. The following day we picked up Sister Nelson from the airport and then the other sisters from the mission home after mission conference and I talked with President Miner who told me of my transfer call which would be to stay in Krasnodar with Sister Greenwood. I was a little shocked to say the least, considering the fact that he told me I would be leaving hahah but he apologized and even said, "I know I told you that you would be leaving,....BUT..." hahah But I am super excited for this transfer! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sounds like the Sisters had a crazy visa trip. They got stopped and pretty much held and questioned and then ended up running through the airport with a security guard and ended up missing their flight and so came back a little bit later than they were supposed to. so it was just so crazy! but everyone is back and happy:)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Saturday we served Axxxxx and met some cool people on the street and then had the last district meeting all together. Got to be honest here, I am super sad that our district is being split up. Every other companionship in our distict (and almost all of our mission hahahah) is switching companions. IT is going to be weird but good:) Also Elder Hebdon is coming to krasnodar that I went to high school with and is from PG. So El. Hebdon is from PG, Sister Kennard is from AF, and Sister Faddis (who is also coming and will be replacing sister moore) is from Lehi so Utah County is just taking over hahaha. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Nxxxxx came to church on Sunday and is already in 2 Nephi. HE IS AMAZING!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I love you all! Hope you had fun on your vacation (*sobs relentlessly*) (hahahahhahahah jk)</div>

It is crazy to me! I can't believe it! But anyway, this week was crazy. We had made a plan to meet with 5 of our less actives/recent converts and nearly every one of them cancelled on us so we only ended up meeting with one. It was crazy!! hahah so we spent a lot of time on the street this week and a lot of time trying to find people. But we also saw a lot of other miracles this week that we didn't even plan on! It just confirmed to me that this is the Lord's work:) <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

I am heading up to Rostov this week just for a day as Sister Kennard (who is the Sister training leader) is going up to mission leadership conference and the other sisters are going on their visa trip. So that will be fun! </div>

We had our first lesson with Aren this week and his momma. We are planning on him getting baptized in June but we have a couple of issues about him not coming to church with his mom for circumstances out of their control... So it may need to be postponed a bit. </div>

We have been trying to get in contact with Lxxx this week and it hasn't been working out. We texted her one time and asked if we could do a lesson and she said that she is too busy this week and it probably won't happen this week. We just have been trying to get in contact but we haven't been able to and she hasn't come to church for the past 3 weeks. So that is a little worrisome. I think everything will be ok though:) she just needs time:) </div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
On Tuesday last week we met a man on the street that talked so incredibly fast and looked like Geret Giles. We didn't really understand anything that he said besides the fact that he had met us on the street before and at the end he promised on coming to church. We kind of brushed it off though because people tell us stuff like that all the time.. but low and behold Nxxxxx came to church and we had a lesson with him and he is our new investigator!!! So neat. He said he already believes the BOM is true.. so that is awesome! We just need to tell him now that he needs to read it hahahahaha. It was really cool though because he brought the two cards that we gave to him and it was just really neat. He said, "the first time we met on the street I was in a hurry so you just gave me one of your cards-- and then I found you again!!! " SO COOL!!! </div>

<div>
I don't have a lot of time so I want to share three experiences:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1.
We went to the same Oxxx that we served last week ( we bought her
medicine.) We bought some flowers and decided to drop in and try and
talk to her and get to know her. We went up to the door, not really knowing what to
expect, and knocked on the door and she opened up the door with this huge
smile! She let us in and we gave her the flowers and she wanted us to
talk with her! We went in and talked about our families and she showed
us pictures of her granddaughter. We shared a scripture with her and
that was just about all that we did. Near the end of the little chat,
she says, "I am so glad that you came today! you know it is crazy that
you came today. Usually at this time I am sleeping and turn off my
phone. And you know what else is crazy? I felt the chills all up and
down my arms when I saw you at the door." We then ended our visit by
praying with her at the door right before we left. We didn't have a big
lesson with her-- she isn't our new investigator and doesn't have a
baptismal date, but we as missionaries were able to help her feel the
love of God:) It was such a tender mercy for me this week especially
because after skyping home I just thought, "yeah why the heck am I
here?" hahaha it was such a sweet little tender mercy of the Lord for me
and I hope for Oxxx too! :)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2. We had another
crazy miracle this week with the Cxxxxx family. I have been trying to
get in with the Cxxxxx family since I got here in Krasnodar-- which has
been about 7 months-- oh my! 7 months is that right??!?!? and so we
headed out to their house. We headed to their house and waited and
waited and waited and waited outside the door.... finally her daughter
answered the door! We brought some chocolate and just wanted to give it
to the mom but the daughter said, "well it will probably be better if
you give her the chocolate yourselves! come back tomorrow after 6." </div>
<div>
So
we left honestly pretty disappointed hahahaha. BUT! We had someone home
and we were so ready to come back! The next day was crazy and right
after our lesson with Lxxx (which I will talk more about later..;)) we
headed back out to the Cxxxxx... and they answered the door again! and
let us in! and they were getting dinner ready! so we waited! and then
had a borscht dinner with the whole entire Cxxxxx family! The mom and
her three daughters and two sons. It was seriously such a miracle. We
got to know each other and had the yummiest borscht of my life and then
planned to come over and talk again- but after examines so in the middle
of June. IT WAS SUCH A MIRACLE!!! so cool:) I also don't know
if I mentioned last week that we got in with another one of the ladies
that we have been trying to get in with for 7 months. SO COOL!!! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
3<span class="aBn" data-term="goog_963160225" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">. Thursd</span></span>ay
was fun! we went and decorated a less active youth's door and then we
had a lesson with Lxxx and Vxxx. The lesson was great and was about the
plan of salvation! Lxxx told us about how hard it is for her to stop
smoking-- it just seems like a super hard time right now, but she hasn't
smoked and is just working so hard! And then.. we set a baptismal date
with Lxxx!!<span class="aBn" data-term="goog_963160226" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">! June 11</span></span>th!!!!
so cool! Is it a coincidence that I received my mission call the same
weekend last year?? haha idk maybe so hahahaha but still cool! I am
worried I will be transferred and won't be here for the baptism.. but
IDK posmotreem (we'll see) BUT YEAH HOW COOL! It has just been so neat
to see the atonement of Christ already working in her life and how she
is just so eager and willing to change. SO COOL!!! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I
guess we also painted a fence this week which was pretty fun. and we
sang again on krasnaya which was awesome. aaaaannnnnddddd just some
other regular stuff haha. I feel like we eat the same thing every single
day hahaha. I thought maybe some more like mashed potato packets or Mexican rice would be cool. and I am always a fan for hot Cheetos:):):):) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I LOVE YOU ALL!!!! I miss you all:) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Can't
believe it is like summer time!??! I think this time of the year is the
time of the year that I most want to be home haha. I just want to sit
on the deck and play the ukulele and have a gosh darn hamburger
hahahahaha (maybe don't put that on the blog hahaha) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I love you and miss you all!!! </div>

<br />
<div>
This week was great! We
met with Vxxxxxx and it was wonderful! we also got in with a less
active that we have been trying to get in with for 6 months. It was a
miracle! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It was so nice to see everyone
yesterday:) I am sorry I cried a lot hahaha. Is it bad to say that I
feel a little relieved that it is over? haha. I love you all:)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We also had zone training this week which was awesome. aaannnnnddd.. I feel like I have forgotten the week haha. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Today
is Den Pobedi which means victory day and it was crazy! This morning we
went to the eternal flame and saw lots of important military men and
some marches. Then we went to the square and saw some more marches and
yelling and some important military people speak. IT WAS SO CRAZY. I
felt like I was in a movie-- for reals. Just so out of this world haha I
took some sweet videos but I can't send them... so just wait til next
year and we will watch them all together hahaha:) Then we met up with
our investigator Lxxx and we were in a parade! It is really cool what
the people here do, they get pictures of their ancestors who served in
the war/ in the military and they all just make their own parade
carrying the pictures on these tall poles and it is HUGE and there are
tons and tons of people and we all just walk down the street and sing
old Russian songs and yell together hahaha. It was super fun! Me and Sister Greenwood didn't really know exactly what we were getting
ourselves into hahaha so we joked about passing by the Johnstons (the Senior Missionary couple) or President and Sister Miner because we just got caught
up in this parade hahahahaha. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This week will
be a good week I just know it! I love you all and I am so thankful for
all of you:) (yells to the crowd--hahaha just teasing) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
I LOVE YOU ALL!!! THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT! it was so good to see you:) <div class="yj6qo ajU">

This
week was great! we had a great FHE with Lxxx and members Vxxx and Sxxxx. We talked about Lehi's dream and then played charades which was
hilarious haha. Lxxx is just so awesome. She walked us to the bus stop
and we were just talking and she is like one of our friends. she is so
cute! we tried to meet with her <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_568777693" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">on Saturday</span></span>, but that didn't end up working out. And she missed church so that is a bummer, but we hope to meet with her <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_568777694" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">tomorrow</span></span> and we are hoping she just missed church because of Easter (yeah a little ironic but hahaha) but yes soon! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>

we
taught Gxxxx and Axxxx again this week about the plan of salvation. it
was a bit of a rough lesson because it was the first time we have taught
the plan of salvation together, but it went pretty well considering
that we are teaching in Russian ;) They listened to it all but didn't
really accept it... after we were done they were like "well that's cool"
haha so I think we still have some kinks in our teaching.. but we are
ever learning! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
funny story: <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_568777695" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">On Thursday</span></span>
we set a district goal on how many phone numbers we wanted to get as a
district, but we just kept saying "numbers" instead of phone numbers so
then I said, "yeah so just any number that we get we can count..?" and Sister Kennard was like, " yep! If you find out how many kids they
have.. that's a number!" hahaha man I thought it was soooooo funny. and
so then we went off for a while on questions we can ask just to get any
kind of number hahaha. man SO FUNNY. ( am I losing my mind with
missionary humor???? I think so. hahahahahah don't put that on my
blog!!! :)) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
another funny story: </div>
<div>
We
met a potential Kxxxxxxxxx after serving Rxxxxx. He called as we were
there and asked if we could just meet and talk for a bit and so we said
sure and went and waited on the street outside of his gym. we saw him
walking and he just walked right on up and gave me and sister Greenwood
these huge hugs hahahahahaha we were freaked out! This was our second
time meeting him! And we are missionaries! hahaha and then we talked for
a while and then the conversation was winding down so Sister Greenwood
stuck out her hand before he could do anything and he shook it... and
then brought her in for this huge hug ghahahaha it was so funny because
her hands went up like a t-rex and she let out a little "AH!" hahah and
then I was just in shock as he came and also gave me this huge hug
hahaha we are such Sister Missionaries! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There
was an accordion player on a tramby. I also talked to a lady on that
tramby and she gave me some decorated Easter eggs and a cake thing. SO
SWEET!! right after that I also talked to a man that pretty much just
wanted to tell me everything that was wrong about America and asking why
we do things the way we do and was asking about same sex marriage and
about Rockefeller and Clinton and pretty much it was the most stressful
thing ever because I felt like I didn't understand anything and I kept
trying to tell him but he just kept talking hahahaha. I literally had
sweat pits because it was so stressful hahahaha. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Yesterday
was Easter here in Russia and I think it was also one of my favorite
days on the mission so far. MAN IT WAS AWESOME!! Church was great and
then we went to break the fast with the YSAs for dinner. We then
finished some weekly planning and then went out contacting. The other
sisters are like so incredibly good at singing so they had this idea to
go on krasnaya (which is like the main road in krasnodar) and sing hymns
while the other missionaries hand out cards and talk to people. SO WE
WENT TO KRASNAYA ON EASTER AND IT WAS SO INCREDIBLY COOL AND CRAZY. haha
so neat! They had fire dancers, bands, fake statues (like people
standing really still), people that do that cool spray painting stuff
that you see on you tube, and I even saw a monkey and a parrot!!! IT WAS
CRAZY!!! haha and so fun. It was super loud and everyone was just
begging for attention and so we just found this moderately quiet place
on the street and the Sisters sang while the Elders and I handed out
cards. It was just so sweet and cool to me because I felt like it was
such a moment where we were in the world but not of the world. As others
were yelling and dancing and just being crazy haha we were singing
quiet hymns. I had this cool thought as I watched these masses of people
pass that sometimes we can be like the crowd just going with the flow
stuck in worldly things because sometimes it is hard to hear the quiet
soft still voices of the gospel. The coolest part of the night though,
was when this elderly couple came up among the crowd of people passing
and just stood right in front of the sisters and listened as they sang.
IT WAS SO CUTE!!! he then talked to one of the elders and said, "you're
the Mormons?!?! I have always wanted to know more about what you
believe!!!" It was such a neat experience. seriously just so cool. we
are hoping to do that every Sunday from now on. so cool! </div>

This week was great!!! </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
For the past couple of weeks we have had a lady come to church whose name is Lxxxx. I can't remember if I have already talked about her.. but she came to church before a long time ago but was never taught and now she is back again! We had a lesson with her and a member Vxxx. Vxxx told us that last week <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_854762740" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Sunday</span></span> she asked what she needed to do to be baptized:) so our lesson was awesome! Actually our lesson was not very good haha. Both Sister Greenwood and I felt like we couldn't speak Russian and it was a bit rough, but Vxxx helped us out ssssooo much so all was ok:) we talked about the restoration and a lot about the word of wisdom and prayer. It was about 2 hours of a lesson haha but it was awesome! We are meeting with her again tonight for family home evening, and then hoping to teach her again later in the week and...... do I dare say it?....... we are going to try and set up a baptismal date with her for May!!! it is so cool and I am so glad for the opportunity to teach her- I just hope we don't mess it up! right now it is like me and Sister Greenwood are the only things keeping her away from baptism hahahahahah just teasing. But it is really cool how I feel like the atonement of Christ is already working in her life as she has already decided to stop drinking and smoking and is coming to us and wanting to change. SERIOUSLY SO COOL!!! </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">ok funny story:</span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">This week we contacted a lady in an incredibly obnoxious watermelon dress. Don't get me wrong, she looked absolutely gorgeous, but the dress print was just huge slices of watermelon. And then her daughter had matching watermelon pants. We talked for a bit and she said that she had talked a little bit with missionaries before on the street, but wasn't really interested and left. Sister Greenwood and I walked away and we were talking about how cool it is that she has already met missionaries and how the work is just booming here! And then Sister Greenwood says in the most most most serious of ways, "I promise you, one day she is going to be a melon." hahaha! She meant to say member but she said melon and I absolutely lost it and thought it was so incredibly funny. haha maybe it is one of those 'you had to be there stories' but it was so incredibly funny:) man I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. Later in the week we went to a shashleek store and we were leaving after having a good conversation with the owner and Sister Greenwood says, "I promise you one day he is going to be a shashleek." hahaha it's our new joke hahaha. SO FUNNY</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
another funny story:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
We went and served Axxxxxx with the elders. He is literally building his own house from watching youtube videos. I feel like he and dad would get along pretty well and could make some awesome things haha. We painted the gas line bright yellow (as is the fashion in Russia hahaha) and it was fun! Axxxxxxx was super worried about our hair so he made us tie pillow cases around our heads haha. But anyway we did service and then we went and bought these yummy little ice cream cones and we were all eating them except for Elder Tucker who got something else. WE all finished ours and then he decided that he wanted one and so they went back to buy one, but we could see a tramby coming so they decided to just go fast. So they came back from the produkti and Elder Tucker is saying something and putting away his change as Elder Gerritson starts eating his ice cream and then Elder Tucker just stops and says," where's my ice cream?!" and then Elder G says "you didn't grab it?!" and so they drop everything and literally RUN back to the produkti haha. man I don't know why but seeing those huge Elders running for ice cream just struck my funny bone. We all made it in time for the tramby! haha maybe it is another one of those "just had to be there stories" hahaha</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
This week was awesome! I think I mentioned Lxxxxx in my last email, but we went and visited her and her family. They are SO CUTE. She has three little kids. one of them has a bowl cut and we call him coconut head and he is the absolute CUTEST. Her oldest son is 10 and stays home from school everyday as she works to provide for them. She also wants him to be baptized so we may be teaching him soon too! so awesome! </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
We did some good contacting this week, served a member Lxxxxxxx by washing windows and cleaning drapes which was fun! </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
we served Axxxxxx as I already mentioned</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
We went and gave a spirtitual thought to Rxxxxx but we were an hour late because they shut down all the trambys for a parade but then no one decided to tell the poor little mormon misisonaries haha. but we made it! </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
I don't know if you will remember when I wrote about Kxxxxx and Exxxxxx and giving them spiritual thoughts when the elders would take them sacrament.. and how we sang and just talked with them and they were so cute and definitely an old married couple?? Well Exxxxxx passed away this past week. We went to his funeral <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_854762741" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Saturday</span></span>. It was a little hard... when we first got there, there were 4 people there for the service. Luckily, more members and people came to support Kxxxxxx but it was a little hard for me! I had the privilege of sitting next to Kxxxxxx during the service. I don't know if she remembers me, but I won't be able to forget her:) I don't really know what else to say about it.. the service was pretty:)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
I am thankful for my family and for the knowledge that we have that there is life after death. I have a testimony that families can be together for ever. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">

THINGS ARE GREAT HERE. No but really, things are wonderful here in sunny Krasnodar! Everything is green and blooming and the people are getting nicer! :) the tulips here are PHENOMENAL (goodness, how do you spell that?) and this was just a wonderful week! I also feel like I have a new hope that I am pretty sure didn't come just from me. I feel like there is a lot of work to do and a lot of opportunities that the Lord has blessed us with so I am so excited for this upcoming transfer! This transfer I will be staying here in Krasnodar with Sister Greenwood! Woo hoo! I am so excited for this transfer:) It will be awesome! Oddly enough, all of our district is staying here too for another transfer which is solid! Last transfer we had 29/33 companionship's change, and this transfer it is the exact opposite with only 3 (wait maybe 5?) companionship's who saw change. And I just remembered that our whole ZONE didn't see any changes. just crazy! so I don't really know what to expect next transfer, but I feel like it will be a little bit crazy haha. </div>

Monday night we went out contacting just around the branch before a meeting with our potential. WE were walking down the street and a lady turned us down and then we heard a ladies voice saying, "deyvooshki! eede cyda!" yeah just gibberish! hahah jk it means girls! come here! and there was a woman there one the first floor hanging outside of her window just waving and smiling! So we went over to her and started talking and she thought we were Jehovah's witnesses. BUT we kept talking and she is one of the nicest ladies ever! She invited us in for tea but we had a lesson, so we declined but said we would come back a different time. We went back to the branch and our potential stood us up... so we went back to their house! and there we had the first lesson with Galia and her son Andrei and his wife Anna. It was awesome! They are Jehovah's Witnesses but were super nice and we had a great conversation! and they want us to come back! Andrei is a little interesting.. he smokes and drinks and likes to text us.... so we just watch out for him haha. But he said I look just like a Russian and told me my Russian name is "Aleona" hahh so there is that! another funny story: <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_2006731584" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Wednesday</span></span> night we were walking home from the branch and I was quizzing Sister Greenwood on her words so I was looking down and we hear this "ALEONA!!" and it was Andrei! so we talked together and I told him how I would be going to Armenia and he asked me to pick up special alcohol you can only get there haha. so of course I did! hahah just teasing:) but yeah so that is how we met with an awesome Jehovah's witness family through a window sill! </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
WE went back and taught just Galia again <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_2006731585" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Saturday</span></span> and it was a great lesson! She is still very much so Jehovah's witness but is just so sweet. She told us she would come to church, but she didn't end up coming. THEY ARE AWESOME AND SO SWEET! </div>

She has one of the biggest hearts I know and was telling me about how hard it is for her when missionaries leave and I was just looking at her and feeling the spirit so strong and just started crying as she was telling me about how heartbreaking it is for her when these missionaries leave. It was a really neat moment, but I also felt like a Goober crying in the middle of the rinik haha. </div>

We stopped this lady and when we asked her what brought her joy she said "absolutely nothing" and so we just started talking and telling her about why we are here and she was super sweet and I just kept feeling the spirit super strong. And like honestly when we contact I don't feel the spirit like in bursts like I did then. I don't even remember how we started talking about it but then she said, "my mother died two years ago and I just came from the cemetery--because it is her birthday today. and I think it is a sign that we met together today, so thank you." Man I could not keep it in and I just cried. We talked for a little longer about the Resurrection and testified that families can be together forever and then she left without giving us her number. We walked away and i let just a couple of tears drop haha. I can't even explain it well because I don't even understand it well haha. but I hope to never forget that lady and the love the Lord gave me for her in that moment. SO COOL. </div>

VXXXXX:
ok first off, imagine Gru from despicable me and you have Vxxxx
haha. Vxxxxx is awesome! he is a husband and father of two kids.He
speaks English practically perfectly and is currently teaching at the
university. he studies religions and is all in all just a sweet guy who
loves to laugh and loves to talk hahaha. We met him in the botanical
gardens and the night that we met him we ended up talking with him
for about an hour!!! we met later that week at the church and had a more
formal lesson there were we gave him the first lesson and gave him a Book of Mormon! He has a hard time believing in God because of all of
his friends that he has seen die in War and he is super interested in
family history and has already done a lot of work! he really wants to
learn more about his.... grandpa or great grandpa I can't remember...
but it is nearly impossible with all of the record burning that happened
here. so yeah that is a little bit about Vxxxxx!!! </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Our
next investigator we found is named Axxxxx. WE also met him in the park and talked about prayer with him and setup an other meeting. He
came to the church though for our second meeting and he was a bit....
shocked... in short, the lesson was very short and I think he was super
shocked because our church is more like a school than a provleslavney
temple. he got out of there pretty fast hahaha. We will see if we will
meet with Axxxxx again:) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Our third new
investigator is named Lxxxxxx. She is Armenian and she is a cutie! Sister Greenwood and Moore met her and her mom when we were on splits and she
invited us over to their house. We went over to their house and we spoke
some golden English and then tried to have the first lesson with her.
We got through all most all of it and then we were interrupted by her
godmother that invited us in to eat. So we went and ate with them! We
couldn't find a way out... and it was just incredibly nice of
them. So we had homemade pelmeni and cabbage rolls with Lxxxx and her
mom and her godmother while we talked about missionary work and what we
do here. They are by far the nicest people I have met in Russia. They
are so sweet! We also ate this like fish stuff or something in red sauce
which was interesting... :) Then her dad came home and I kid you not- he
looked just like megamind except not as alienish hahaha. but really it
was so funny how much he looks like him. He found our Book of Mormom in
the other room and came in and said "ahhhh so you're Mormons?!?!" hahaha so we said yes and he was really nice and we talked about Romney for a
bit hahha. Anyway it was an awesome meeting. We are hoping to meet
again with them :)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As far as this week goes, it was awesome! we had zone conf on Monday and then pday <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1739316533" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">on Tuesday</span></span> and then conf <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1739316534" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Saturday</span></span> and <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1739316535" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Sunday</span></span>
so it flew by for me! We met with less actives Axxxx and Nxxxxxx and
they were great meetings! Nxxxxxxx shared her sweet testimony of how
when she found the church it was just different and she felt a sense of
light there that she had never found anywhere else. It was awesome! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1739316536" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Thursday</span></span>
we went to the Hxxxxxxx family and it was awesome! We talked about prophets and General Conference and they were just such a sweet family.
We also drank juice and had cookies and -- maybe don't put this on my
blog hahaha, but we watched the Mormon boys parody of Hello by Adele
and now ALL I WANT TO DO IS LISTEN TO THAT SONG BY ADELE AGAIN. hahahah </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We
spent some time hitting the streets this week and went to the turtle
pond!!! we saw so many turtles it was awesome! Goodness I am trying to
remember what happened this week and I can't think of anything
exciting that happened hahahaha. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
CONFERENCE
WAS SO AMAZING. I can't even begin to explain how much I loved it! it was
so cool! Nearly every talk seemed like it was just for me. I
learned so much and I just feel like I have been spiritually reborn:) It was amazing! A couple of things really stuck out to me:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li> I think it
was Rasband who said something to the effect of, "If life was fair, we
wouldn't have a resurrection or the chance to repent. in that case, I
am glad that life isn't fair!! " </li>
<li>I can't remember who (and I forgot
my notes) talked about the Resurrected Christ and how in His perfect
body, he still had the prints in his hands and feet. That hit me really
hard and I have been thinking a lot about that. </li>
<li>"you can either have
what you want.... or something better" </li>
<li>President Monson's talk voobshay</li>
<li>Elder Eyrings talk.</li>
<li>Everyone's talk</li>
</ol>
</div>
<div>
hahah
no I really really loved conference this year and I have a testimony
that the words that we heard are the words of God and if we listen study
and heed their words, we will be able to find our answers and find
little ways (or big ways) that we can change to be better and better
every day. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I love you all! This week I have a visa trip, but we are leaving out of Krasnodar so it should just be a day trip. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
IT'S ALMOST MOTHERS DAY.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I love you all:) </div>

I am hoping for next week to get it sent. BUT I have also heard that it takes a really really long time to get to the states... so we will see:) </div>

This week was awesome! Last week <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1942438204" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Monday</span></span> we visited my first provnaslavney xpam! (chram- temple) and it was absolutely stunning. It was honestly so cool! I feel ashamed I have already been in Russia 5 months and just now visited a temple. It was really cool. It was awesome to see people in the temple too worshipping. I believe Russian people are a very spiritual people and it was cool to take in just a small part of their culture by visiting the temple. I will send pics! and we are going to a couple of more today! so woo hoo!!!! </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
We worked with Oxxxx a lot this week. She put on an activity for the branch all about family history and it was great! So we did a FHE with her and then also helped her cut out paper hands for a giant paper tree she made of every ones hands in the branch. it was awesome! </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
We visited Lxxxxxxxx (member) with Nxxxxxx (member) which was awesome! She is such a sweetheart and it was actually the first time to meet with her. They are cuties:)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">

Apparently he is like a world champ karate man in Russia. Like kind of famous. AND I GO TO CHURCH WITH HIM hahahahaha. But anyway, we went and translated for the Johnston's. It is really cool to think that people have enough confidence in my Russian to ask me to translate! hahahahaha. no but really it is cool that me and Sister Greenwood can do that because I still feel like such a baby in the field:) it was a great meeting about how our bodies are like temples! </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
We then went and served Rxxxxx again. So we thought that his wife straight up left him for good... but she came back last Saturday.. with a new baby... ? haha so I think she just went to Moscow to have her baby and then she came back. But anyway he asked us if we could help him again with his kids and help him clean as he got all ready for his wife to come back. We went and had a great time with him kids !they are so cute. we were getting down to the end of our time there with most of the cleaning being done (holy cow my English ...) and so we decided to play a game with them so we sang the "do as I'm doing" song and danced with them. Well I got REALLY into it. Like Really. haha so I was dancing and doing the disco point thing and jumping around and we were going slow and then sister greenwood just starts cracking up so I stop and there was RXXXXX STANDING IN THE DOORWAY. hahah so we all bust up and then he says, "well now you need to do it slow!" hahah it was so funny. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
That night we had a lesson with Axxxxx! We talked about Joseph Smith and the word of Wisdom. He pretty much says he won't have a problem with living the word of wisdom... when he decides to live it. Ugh Axxxxxx. He knows all the lessons and knows what we expect of him and I believe has already found his answer but just won't commit... we are debating on dropping Axxxxxx. Just don't really know what else we can do as missionaries. It is at the point where we have brought it to his heart and he just needs to decide what he wants to do with it. Anyway hahha that was a little heavier than I wanted haha. but things are good with Axxxxx! We will keep you posted !</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">

We tried to do a spiritual thought but she wasn't having it.. we will see what happens with Gxxxxxx this week too. But she had a great time in America! we might be dropping her this week too. It is like the do or drop week for Sister Price and Greenwood I think haha SO WATCH OUT ;)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
We met with Accccc <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1942438207" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Friday</span></span> and it was pretty rough. I have decided that the prodigal son is the story you teach/share if you ever want to know some one's deepest concerns or doubts or beliefs haha. When we talked to Axxxxx and taught him this parable we found concerns/doubts about the atonement and then we read it with Acccccc and eventually found out that she doesn't believe in the resurrection or temple work. So yeah it was a lesson that kind of took us back a bit. We will continue to work on that with her. But it got me to thinking, what are my thoughts and beliefs about the Resurrection? I studied a lot about Resurrection this week and about Christ's life. it was an awesome week with lots of cool insights. We are also going to be using the resurrection as our street teaching topic this week. Which is cool! </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
uhhh lets see.. we met with Rxxxxx and he talked about mars and evolution and a lot of other stuff that we didn't understand hahhaa. I was trying really hard to understand though and so I was just so focused in and I guess my mouth dropped open so Rxxxxxxx would be talking and talking and talking and then would say "PRICE! close your mouth." hahahah it was so funny, Sister Greenwood was cracking up! hahahahaha </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">

I didn't even cry!!! hahahah no it was really sweet and I thought about family a lot especially about our Easter traditions:) it was really nice! </div>

PLEASE GO TO THE TEMPLE. I can't even explain how much these people love the temple and how much they would give to live as close to temples as we do. it really is neat! </div>

This week in personal study I had a really cool realization. I was thinking about Missions and how people count success on missions and I had this cool like day dream/zone out where I was a missionary and I was climbing this tree and it was a lot of hard work! I climbed and climbed and climbed and along the way I was gathering fruit. They were just tiny little fruits and far in between... but they were these cute little fruits:) (I am sounding like lehi, i know, but this was really cool ahha) I saw other missionaries who were climbing trees that had tons and tons of fruit on every branch! and I thought to myself, why am I worried about the fruit? I guess I just thought about how sometimes in this life of climbing trees we may compare our fruits but completely forget about the climb. We may see others with huge fruit on every branch along the way while others may only have one tiny fruit... but everyone is climbing their own tree and making progress no matter what:) I know and testify that the Lord has sent me to climb this tree in Russia and only he knows what kind of fruits I might find! and it is the same in our lives! I feel like I am not explaining this well, but I guess I just have a testimony of each one of our lives being our own path and journey that we have the privilege of working through:) </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #500050; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
By now you may have heard news reports of a fatal airplane crash at the Rostov-na-Donu airport last night. All missionaries are safe. We had no one traveling for a visa trip and no one lives near the airport. The crash appears to be weather related.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #500050; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>

Your missionaries are doing very well. They continue to work hard and seek to improve. I am sure you have noticed significant changes in their lives since they started their missions. These changes will be even more apparent when they return home. It is a privilege to rub shoulders with them. They are an outstanding group and are doing much to strengthen and build the Church in this corner of Russia. We love them!</div>

SO I AM GOING TO BE WITH SISTER GREENWOOD!!! ok so I am so excited!!! I am also nervous out of my mind hahhaa. I am starting my fourth transfer and she is starting her third- so she just got out of training. I also had the opportunity to meet her at the MTC too! she is GORGEOUS and super funny and super good at basketball! She has huge curly hair and is just such a cutie:) So I definitely think the Lord wants us to learn a lot of lessons this transfer becauase I still feel like a baby in the mission field. (CAN YOU BELIEVE I HAVE BEEN OUT 6 MONTHS?!?!?!) but I am now the missionary who has been in Krasnodar the longest (like out of our district) so I am pretty nervous! Sister Kennard is coming back to krasnodar.. She actualy trained here and she goes home in August so things should be good there I am just really nervous! I also feel like all of my friends are leaving me haha. It is going to be a really weird start to the transfer to adjust, but I think it will be awesome! So anyway yes Sister Beach leaves <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_531767959" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Tuesday</span></span> for Rostov and then we still don't exactly know when the other missionaries are coming down so we will see! probably <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_531767960" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Wednesday</span></span> or <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_531767961" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Thursday</span></span> so me and Sister Moore are just hanging out:) SO YAY TRANSFERS!!!

we served at the Bxxxxxx again! It was really fun! These little Russian houses are all so cute and every time we go to clean Sister Beach just talks about how much she wants to live in these cute little houses. They are so cute!! </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<span class="aBn" data-term="goog_531767964" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">On Thursday</span></span> night we met with Oxxxx and she had actually invited the president of the Branch over too. We didn't know and the Johnston's came with us to give a spiritual thought so I got to do some impromptu translating! haha oh man. That was fun! but the thought they gave was super cute and it was about prayer. The story was about how when Sister Johnston and Elder Johnston were building their new house, they went out in their beat up car and the time came to leave so they all got in the car and the car wouldn't work. Sister Johnston was a little frustrated and was getting ready to walk home when one of her sons said, "It's ok mom! I prayed and asked God to fix the car so it should work now!" she recounted that she felt devastated and was wondering, "how can I explain to them that the car still won't work?" but he kept insisting so she tried again... and the car worked:) She recounted how it was a very humbling experience for her and how she realized then that her faith maybe wasn't where it needed to be:) anyway I just loved that story! At the end she said that her younger son said to the son who had prayed, "why didn't you just pray for a new car?" hahaha :)</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
We also got transfer calls that night as Oxxx was walking us all to the tramby stop. It was very bittersweet. Sister Beach and Sister Delong found Oxxx on Sister Beach's first day on her mission in Krasnodar:) we will see her again <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_531767965" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">tonight</span></span> but I think it will be really hard for both of them:) </div>

She is going to America this week! she is going to California and will be there until the <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_531767967" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">21st of March</span></span>.. so I don't know maybe if you go to California go and find her because she is amazing hahahaha. We had such a good little lesson with her! Still don't know exactly what we need to do with her, but we had a good time together when we sang primary songs together and told her to visit the temple grounds for us:)</div>

Usually the Elders go but a couple were in Rostov and the others were serving somewhere else so they asked us to go. he kept asking when the Elders would be there haha. but man the Reinok was so cool!!!! Oh man. I wanted to take pictures but i didn't get a chance an I felt really weird hahahaha. But man it is ssssooo cool and just so weird. it is not like anything you would see in America. I just keep thinking about all the knowledge we have about like germs and like keeping meat good and fresh and like transporting germs and stuff and it either doesn't matter here or it is just unknown.(OK WARNING THIS IS KIND OF GROSS) They had these huge tables of meat and then this room where there was only a window at the very top where we saw this axe head going up and down hahahahahaha it is just so so weird hahaha. But yeah it was awesome! </div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Well I think those are the highlights of this week. We had a really cool lesson with Axxxxx about forgiveness and read in Alma 36 all about Alma's experience of seeing the angel. I love the verse that talks about how when he just THOUGHT about his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ he felt relief. I feel like it is the same way in our life. May we ever strive to keep the Savior centered in our thoughts is my prayer:) </div>

<span class="aBn" data-term="goog_655561151" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Tuesday</span></span>
I was on splits with Sister Moore! it was an interesting day!! It was
hard because it was a holiday so we couldn't street contact, but it was a
holiday so everyone was busy for the holiday. Did I say holiday enough?
hahaha. So we tried to do a lot of stop-bys with members. we went and
tried to meet with Axxxxx, but we were met instead by a half naked man!
haha we got out of there pretty fast. Then we went to another member Ixxxxx, and we had a really good spiritual thought with her! Then we went
to the Rxxxxk to try and find Dxxxx but she wasn't there so we went to
the branch and helped set up for the dance for a bit which was fun! Then
we just went home and had studies and I heard about Sister Moore's trip
to Europe which was super fun! ( and SSSOOO LONG hahaha)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span class="aBn" data-term="goog_655561152" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Wednesday</span></span>
we had an awesome lesson with Axxxxx with a member Vxxxxx who just
returned from his mission! It was a good lesson:) I think Axxxx is so
ready and accepting of the gospel and he has a little desire, but not
the burning desire that we often hear about:) slowly but surely! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span class="aBn" data-term="goog_655561153" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Thursday</span></span>
we met with less active Alxxx who is really struggling with her
testimony. The elders told us that they wanted to help us reteach her
the lessons which was fine, but after our meeting with her we think she
may need a little bit more loving.. she knows the material but pretty
much told us that she thinks that everyone at church is a hypocrite and
that she thinks that God has not answered her prayers for 10 years...
also her son just barely moved back in with her and honestly he seems
like a goober. He is 30 years old and when we were there he came into
the kitchen with his shirt off and asked him mom to make him lunch. so
yeah I think she needs a little loving:) she is such a sweetheart! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span class="aBn" data-term="goog_655561154" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Thursday</span></span>
we also met with a member Ixxx Yxxxxx and she is so amazing!!! Oh
my I absolutely love her guts:) I need to get a picture with her! she
told us all about her family though and her parents and how she found
the church... and maybe she has already told us this story.. but now I
understand more hahaha;) but man It just made me think of families and
how dysfunctional families are here in Russia. And like I don't mean to
say anything bad about Russia, but I have just seen how the family unit
has been torn apart here. First off there is hardly any families here
and if there is a family, 90% of the time there is not father present
(OK maybe I made that up but that is how it feels hahahaha) so I have
been thinking a lot about families this week and how I want my future
family to be! also I may have been a little homesick this week
hahahaha;) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span class="aBn" data-term="goog_655561155" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Friday</span></span>
we had Zone conference! It was so great! I will try and send some pictures:) but we pretty much just got taught some really great things
and well it was just awesome. President Miner gave us some really great
pointers on teaching the first lesson and we also talked a lot about
repentance which was phenomenal. I think that that is what I have
learned about so far is the power of repentance and the sanctifying
power of the holy ghost. :) I love the gospel! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span class="aBn" data-term="goog_655561156" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Saturday</span></span>
we served at Bxxxxx! A member in the ward, Sxxxx is trying to fix up
a house for another member in the branch so we went over and helped.
There was a fire in this house so pretty much the house is a wreck haha.
The elders helped clear out the room and clean up in there while we
cleaned the tub and then some of the kitchen. IT WAS SO MESSY hahahahaha
oh man yeah... hahahahahaha I don't even know what to say hahahaha. I
didn't take pictures of the bathroom but I have some of the other room
that I will send:)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
then we went and served good ol Rxxxxxn! he is my favorite! We shared with him a spiritual thought and then mopped his floors. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Then
we had interviews with President Miner and then we helped Sister Miner
train the Primary workers which was fun and frustrating:) the church
works the same here, but at the same time it is so different. Sister Miner wants the Primary's here to work like the ones in America and it is
just going to take a lot of work:) but it was a good training none the
less!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span class="aBn" data-term="goog_655561157" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Sunday</span></span> was a good day! we helped sister Miner in Primary which was good! and stressful haha. but good :) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I talked with President Miner in my interview about transfers. We will get the call <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_655561158" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">this Friday</span></span> and then <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_655561159" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">on Tuesday</span></span>
we will change. he pretty much told me that Sister Beach is going to be transferred haha. We don't know for sure but we are pretty sure that Sister Beach is going to be transferred and I will stay here. I am
excited but nervous hahaha. I am happy to stay but I am just a little
worried about my next companion... I think i will probably be put with Sister Moore which will be great! I am just a little nervous:) Sister Beach and Sister Moore are very different:) But I think it will be good
whatever happens:) There is also a slight chance I will be
transferred... but I am pretty darn sure I am staying here hahaha. </div>

We thought our potential Axxxx, might come who we met the same night we met with Mxxxxxxx so we were super excited! When we got to the branch there was a lady there that no one knew! so I jumped on that opportunity and started talking to her and then sister beach and I did emergency splits because we had two people there at English club in different classes!!!! That has never happened!!! And yes, Axxxxx ended up coming at the very end:) so I had a good talk with Vxxxxxx and got her number and she seems really interested in... English... but we hope soon also in the gospel!!! Man it was such a cool night:)</div>

We met with a member Nxxxxxx at the branch and talked for a while and then tried to find less active Lxxxxxx Bxxxxx who Sister McMurray and I served a lot. We got to her door and could hear her in there, but she wasn't answering. We stayed around for a bit and tried to call her. Then we went down the stairs to like the half platform place and just stood there and tried to decide what to do while we could still see her door. So after we had been down there talking for a little while we hear the door start to open so we just freeze and don't know what to do... then it stops and we both take a deep breath and then it starts to open again and so we are standing there and then WE HEAR HER DOG IN ATTACK MODE. MAN we booked it down those stairs SO FAST!!! and then Sister Summers was still a little spooked so after we made it out of the building we were still booking it hahahahahahahahahah. BUT HERE IS THE BEST PART. so we are waiting at the bus stop just saying that we can't believe that she would do that WHEN HERE COME LXXXXXX BXXXXX hahah so we talked to her at the bus stop and she said that she was just taking her dog on a walk and was super sweet but idk.. she had to have known it was us hahahaha. weird! So I told her we wanted to do service for her... just without her dog hahahaha! :) </div>

I told her we were happy to find her and she said she was too! She wasn't even annoyed! hahaha. But she invited us into her apartment and it was such a pretty apartment. She was super nice and we ended up having the first lesson! Boy oh boy.

My favorite study this week was in reading the book of Jonah. God prepared a life saving fish for Jonah and then later on in the chapter also prepared a Castor bean plant to give him shade from his grief. I feel like as a missionary and as people in general we always want to be the life saving fish but some days its ok to be a Castor bean plant:) and that is exactly what the lord prepared us for!!! </div>

We served Axxxxx (who is the husband of the less active Bxxxxx). he is such a sweetheart! They have bought a new house out in the country side so me and Sister Beach helped clean up the yard- picking up trash :) while the elders destroyed a wall of a shed, took out some flooring, and took out bricks out of one of the rooms. I think Axxxxx really appreciated our help! their new house is so cute and it might actually fit them all in there so we are hoping to serve some more this week to get them into that house fast! </div>

(she was the one that I served with Sister Mcmurray.. we took a picture and we were holding flowers and she had her dog). She is such a cutie! Her dad recently passed away so keep her in your prayers:) We hedged some bushes in the front of her yard! Me and Sister Beach are super buff now ;) But the whole time I was just thinking about dad cutting all the trees too short every time we did yard work at grandma and grandpas hahahahahaha. I told sister beach about that and we laughed about it and reminisced about our families:) (hey hey I'll see you soon) I love sister beach! She has helped me a lot this week:) </div>

The police! So yeah that was really scary hahahahahahaha. They were pretty nice but yeah it kind of shook me up hahahaha. Just a good reminder of where I am! hahah But everything is fine and they just wanted to see our documents and stuff. We have had such a time with water! We have literally tried for a week to order water and something happens every time. hahaha Yeah I am a little done with that hahaa. But luckily the Sisters have a water filter so we just go and fill up at their apartment nearly every night hahahahahaha. oh man :)</div>

We served Rxxxxx again <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1640786890" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Saturday</span></span>! Man I really like Rxxxxx. he is solid. And every time we go he just lays down some pure knowledge hahaha. He told us we didn't need to serve this time so we went in regular clothes to give him a spiritual thought and after we gave him the thought he asked if we could still serve (so yeah must not have understood that hahaha) so we mopped and then he asked if we could help him make borscht! We had plans that had fallen through and we saw it as service so we said that yeah of course we could! Well he starts making borscht and he wants me to write down everything that he is saying. We keep asking if we can help but he says, "no I just want to teach you how to do it." so hahah we sat there for 3 hours and watched Rxxxxx make borscht! the best part was that I started to try and tell him a story and he goes, <b><i>"shhhh shhhh shhhh Price. this is a time for making food. It is very complicated and one needs to concentrate. talking is not needed."</i></b> hahahahahahahaha man it was so funny! So yeah luckily after a little while he started to talk a little bit more which was good hahaha but yeah that was awkward. after 2.5 hours we just had to let it cook and so then well I don't even know how I figured it out but I figured out that he didn't want us to eat it with him hahaha. He said that we could only eat it the day after so we just awkwardly took out his garbage and then left hahaha so awkward!!! Luckily <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1640786891" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Sunday</span></span> he invited us over to eat, but we already had plans so unfortunately we had to decline that lovely dinner appointment hahahaha eeehhhhh :) </div>

We had like maybe 10 people there it was awesome! Also I love that movie. Also Axxxxx came. Also we tried to play ping pong after with Axxxxx but he wouldn't play without his personal paddle. Also I keep saying also. Also I love the song at the end of Meet the Mormons. Also I love when the dad is dancing like a goofball. Also I need to end this paragraph now hahahahha. </div>

<div>
ok now I will share some highlights from the week :)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Last
Sunday we went to try and find a less active but she lived pretty far
away and so we took a taxi out to her to find her. Well we had a great
taxi ride and the driver was a super cute old man who was super
talkative! and we actually ended up having a great conversation about
the gospel! I was able to have the first discussion with him which was
super cool. I think it was the first time someone has sat down and
listened to me give the whole first discussion solo! see I just need to
pay them to drive me places and then they will listen!!! ;) No but
really is was a really cool discussion and he kept on calling me Hannah
and then also said that he felt something in his heart. He was so nice
and we have his number and we tried to set up a couple of times with him
this week but his car broke down and then he has been sick. hopefully
this week! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span class="aBn" data-term="goog_186889749" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Tuesday</span></span>
we went with the Johnstons to our less active Axxxxx who we have been
working with. Sister Johnston said she would like to look at some of her Tupperware so we went to her house and we had a whole presentation! it
was fine when just Alvera was talking to us but about 45 minutes into
our visit someone comes and IT IS THE DIRECTOR OF THE COMPANY so yeah
that was really interesting! Boy he was a charmer hahahahaha. But he told
us how if we change one word that we use we can change the way that we
think and eventually our judgement before God. The words are spaseeba
and blagadaroo (hahahah they look so funny in English hahaha) pretty
much the difference is like saying "thanks" and "I am thankful to you" so
yeah it was a pretty cool thought! But yeah translating is hard and I
tried to say Tupperware with a russian accent and I said "two-perware"
and everyone just had a hoot! hahahah it was pretty funny. But yeah Russians just say it like sounds tupperware hahahaha. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
We went back to Lxxxx..... had the scariest night of my life there hahahahhahah. I think that is a story for after the mission! </div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We
met with Gxxxxx again and had a bittersweet meeting. We talked all
about our families and testified and did everything that we could and
then at the end we asked if she would like to take the lessons and she
said no. So that was a little hard... but she still wants us to visit
and come and she has some service for us so maybe someday. Sister Beach
still feels strongly that we need to visit with her and I think that she
is right in the fact that she just needs a friend. her daughters all
live far away- one in California. But yeah I think that she is kind of
lonely. And hey she has become one of my really good friends:) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Ok let's see what else... </div>
<div>
We
went and visited with a less active Bxxxxxx again this week! she is so
cute. Literally about 3 feet tall and has these two cute little kids.
They have a tiny house and her older daughter who is 6 will be starting
school soon and we asked "Are you going to miss Cxxxxxx when she goes to
school?" and she said "honestly no!" hahahahahahahahaha It was so
funny and I just loved it. She reminds me a lot of you mom haha. She
also kept telling Cxxxxxx to sit like a lady haha. But yeah she is
awesome! We are trying to teach her husband but she doesn't think he is
ready yet. But hopefully we will be doing service for him this week to
open up that opportunity to teach! But he is awesome. I think I already
talked about him and how he brings them to church as of late even though
he is hairy krishna (hahahahhaa hairy.. how do you spell that?!?!) </div>

<div>
Sister Beach's birthday was <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_186889750" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">on Friday</span></span>!
SHE IS 20!!!! YEAH!!! we had a pretty normal day:) but we did go to the
mall for lunch and then served a member named Rxxxxx. We dusted and
mopped underneath his cabinet because it is hard for him to reach. WE
WORE PANTS. IT WAS SO WEIRD. I felt so weird. I am going to be a weirdy
when I get home hahaha. But we got some funny pictures with Rxxxxx and
he also shared some history with us! he loves history about Russia and America so I think he was talking about in the 50's in America and how
all the men were gone and how the women were like in charge and how he
believes the judgement bar changed during that time to always be in
favor of women. so yeah it was really interesting and a lot went over
our heads! he said the first time he met with missionaries he thought
they were going to beat him up but they just said they wanted to invite
him to church hahaha. It was so fun to serve!<br />

<div>
We
also had a lesson with Axxxx that night. Man our lessons with him just
haven't been that great as of late. Last lesson he took a long time
trying to convince us that he wasn't an FBI agent and then this last
lesson he talked all about how he wanted to get married but not to
someone his age. he also mentioned the he doesn't consider himself a
religious man and were are like "what." but he is still progressing and
doing great I just don't feel like he feels any kind of urgency and I
also think that he sees baptism as the end step when really it is like
just the beginning! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Then <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_186889751" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Sunday</span></span>
we had a great fast and testimony meeting. Nxxxx and Sxxxx also
blessed their baby (yeah I know like 1-2 weeks old!??!) and it was very
sweet :) We also went to break the fast at the Johnston's which was fun!
we went with all the young single adults. it was fun! That day we also
kind of got lost on the bus but one of the YSA's also got on the bus and
helped us find the less actives house! it was a tender mercy:) he also
gave us gummy bears! It was such a tender mercy and I felt like Ammon in
the book of Mormon when he felt really discouraged and an angel came
and told him to go back and preach and when he went back he was met with
open arms by.... hmmmm Ammulek? dang i forgot his name hahahaha. But it
was a tender mercy:) Well I love you all! </div>
