Im Staying in Krasnador

Wow this week was crazy cool! 

I am straying here in Krasnodar with Sister Greenwood for transfers! 

Sister Greenwood

On Monday we met with Ixxxx  and it was so cute at the end, she showed us a picture that she had kept of me and Sister Mcmurray. She has just kept it on her shelf all this time where she can see it:) it was so cute and such a tender mercy of the Lord! 

Sister Hanah

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! 

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:) 

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!!! 

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! 

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!  

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:)

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. 

Nxxxxx came to church on Sunday and is already in 2 Nephi. HE IS AMAZING!

I love you all! Hope you had fun on your vacation (*sobs relentlessly*) (hahahahhahahah jk)

Love hannah  

AHH HALF WAY

Ah this week I hit my half way mark and I am trying not to lose my mind about it haha. 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:) 

Sister Greenwood and I

Sister Moore and Sister Kennard

Krasnador

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! 

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. 

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:) 

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!!! 

AHHH already out of time. We did some fun service this week and met with some cool members! So neat! 

I love you all! do something fun on the 26th because it's HUUUMMMMPPPP DAAAAYYYY hahahaha;) 

Yeah missionary work!

Wow this week was great!

I don't have a lot of time so I want to share three experiences:

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! :)

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." 

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!!! 

3. Thursday 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!!! June 11th!!!! 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!!! 

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:):):):) 

I LOVE YOU ALL!!!! I miss you all:) 

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) 

I love you and miss you all!!! 

sseeeester preeeece... sssuuuuurrrrpppprrreeeeeessssssssee

Den Pobedi - Victory Day

Well hello! this will be super short.... haha

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! 

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:)

We also had zone training this week which was awesome. aaannnnnddd.. I feel like I have forgotten the week haha. 

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. 

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) 

I LOVE YOU ALL!!! THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT! it was so good to see you:)

ALMOST MOTHERS DAY

Oh my goodness I can't wait for mothers day! I am nervous... is that weird?? hahaha what if you people don't like me anymore!!!! I am so excited though! But yes we switched times with the sisters so now we will be at 5:30 Russian time instead of 4:30. So that should be 8:30 your time instead of 7:30. SO LET ME REPEAT- 5:30PM HERE 8:30 AM THERE:) I think everything else should be ready because I will be using the same skype info and stuff. AHAHH I AM SO NERVOUS Hahah. :)

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 on Saturday, but that didn't end up working out. And she missed church so that is a bummer, but we hope to meet with her tomorrow and we are hoping she just missed church because of Easter (yeah a little ironic but hahaha) but yes soon! 

We've worked a lot with members this week. it was awesome! Nothing big really stuck out to me. Just some awesome members:) 

We served Axxxxx again and finished painting the pole! we moved lots of bricks too. Axxxxx is so cool! 

 

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! 

funny story: On Thursday 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!!! :)) 

another funny story: 

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! 

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. 

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! 

OK WELL I WILL LITERALLY SEE YOU IN LESS THAN A WEEK OK? OK. DON'T WORRY I AM NOT LOSING MY MIND OR ANYTHING:)

I love you all!!! seeeee yoooouuuu ssssooooonnnnnn!!!!!! :):):)::):))::)

HEY HEY HEY

This week was great!!! 

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 on Sunday 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!!! 

ok funny story:

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

another funny story:

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

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! 

We did some good contacting this week, served a member Lxxxxxxx by washing windows and cleaning drapes which was fun! 

we served Axxxxxx as I already mentioned

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! 

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 on Saturday. 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:)

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.  

Well friends. I am skyping home in 2 weeks and I would be lying if I said I haven't really thought about it:) I am so excited to call:) 

this week was great and I wish I could just tell you every detail but it just isn't possible:) 

I love you all and I miss you all but I am so eternally grateful for this opportunity to serve here in Russia. I love it! 

I LOVE YOU ALL 

С большой любовью,сестра Price

HELLO

Yay team! hello! 

first off, 

how is everyone?    :)

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. 

THIS WEEK WAS AMAZING. 

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: on Wednesday 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! 

WE went back and taught just Galia again on Saturday 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! 

I think i am just now beginning to realize how nice Krasnodar is. 

We also ate at a place called pasta perfect and mom, you would LOVE it. mason jars and burlap and everything so cute!! AND YUMMY haha we also went to Olya's on Tuesday. She had a birthday party so we dropped by and had some Russian food. YUM. 

Wednesday we went and met with member Diana. She just talked and talked and talked. 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. 

THURSDAY WAS MY VISA TRIP. oh man. visa trips are terrible hahahahahah so terrible but so fun. We woke up at 2:30 thrusday morning and I showered and then we left in a taxi to the airport. Our taxi driver was VERY friendly and kept asking where he could find American wives to which I grumpily responded "America" (mind you it was 3:00 in the morning haha) haha. 

Me and sister Sommers went together with 5 other elders. Elder Tucker and Gerritson (dad, you found elder tuckers blog!) and they are serving here in Krasnodar and then burwell Constantine and Watterson who are serving in noverassisk and tuapse. 

our flight from Krasnodar left at 5;30 and we got to Moscow domodeovo at 7:30. then we left dom to Armenia erevan at 10:00 and got there at like 2ish. At the Armenian airport we actually met up with the other group of missionaries that left from Rostov so I got to see sister Jameson and Jarvis! (dad you also found her blog! ) it was so fun!!!! 

From there we left around 4 to Moscow veykovo (or something like that?) airport and got there at 5;40 and then WE WAITED THERE until 12:20 that morning. yyyyeaaaahhh haha. we then flew from there to Krasnodar- got into Krasnodar around 2:30 and finally got home at 3:30. YYEAAAHHH. slept in until 8... and then we had our day! ugh man i felt so bad and I kept feeling like i was going to pass out. we had district meeting which I was SO grumpy for hahah then we came back for lunch hour and language study which I also slept for. We contacted after that and then did weekly planning- so it was a good day to be exhausted for hahah. 

yeah visa trips! 

Saturday I had one of the most meaningful contacts in my life. 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. 

Last night we had a lot of tender mercies in finding less actives. We didn't actually \y find them-- or I guess they didn't answer, but we had a lot of people helping us haha. The Lord is mindful of us! 

Well that's all folks! sorry it feels so scattered but i just have so much to say and no time! 

I Love you all and I am so grateful for the knowledge that I have of a loving Heavenly Father. 

go and read 3Nephi 17 this week:)

I LOVE YOU!
