Happy Halloween

Another week come and gone! It is crazy how fast the week goes and how it feels like it was just a blur. Last Wednesday we did TRC which is where people who speak Russian come and we have to teach them. They tend to be people who have come back form their missions who went Russian speaking since there aren't really native Russian speakers here in Utah..haha But my companion and I did a pretty good job even though we had no idea what we were doing haha. 

This week, my weeks go from Tuesday to Tuesdays..ha, we taught our investigators Maria and Nikoli again and for the most part they went pretty well. Nikoli said he would be baptized on Nov. 15 so that is exciting! Right on Jackson's birthday! :) Maria is a little more difficult to teach she basically just says "I don't know" to almost everything we say. Like I said in my last letter..it is cool that even though they are acting as one of their investigators, my companion and I can still love them and really want them to change their lives for the better so that they can be happier than they are currently.

I love hearing my teachers talked about their missions! Sister Jackson served in Russia and so did Sister Harrison and Brother Holt served in Ukraine and Moldova, so he would switch almost every transfer between countries. But they just talk about how awesome the people are and even though it may have taken forever for their investigators to become members, they said all the experiences were so neat. I can't wait until we can go out and start teaching real people.

I have been reading "Our Heritage" and it is so awesome! I would definitely recommend it  I love the pioneers so much! It is crazy to read about how much they suffered and I don't know why any of them would keep pushing through and enduring and believing if they didn't know what they were doing was true! It literally blows my mind that they would go through so much persecution from city to city to city to city. I have so much respect for all of the pioneers. 

We do another TRC tomorrow so hopefully that goes well. We are still learning a bunch and vocab and stuff and it is going pretty well. Can't believe it has already been almost a month! Time is going by fast. "The days feel like weeks and the weeks feel like days" Love you all! Happy Halloween!
