здраствуйте!
How is it going? Another week! And now down to 2 more weeks here! Time flies! This week was a pretty good week! We got pushed back on all of our investigators so we didn't teach that much this week, mostly book work and reading and such.
This week for TRC we taught only one lesson that was 40 minutes long. We usually write down a majority of what we want to say but this week my companion said let's just go in with bullet points for topics and write down a few scriptures. I didn't want to because I wasn't sure if I would remember any words, but that's what we did. And we talked for 40 minutes and we both talked about 50/50 so that was a cool experience of how we just need to have faith and trust that the Spirit can lead us what to say. I also saw a glimpse of the gift of tongues cause I was using grammar that I have no idea how to use haha and I know I couldn't have done that by myself. I can't wait to get into the field and exercise more faith and learn more language.
The lady who makes the Russian name tags came in today to make sure our names were spelled right so that was exciting and it made this even more real, so we will probably get them at the end of next week..? I think and I hope haha but I will have 2 T's instead of just one so that's cool.
Sister Jackson's birthday was this week and so we used the glow sticks to spell happy b-day and put sticky notes everywhere haha it was a good day and she was way grateful. Brother Holt was talking about his mission and people he taught and stuff after we had found a video of the dedication of the Kyiv temple. He also said how there is a lot of hands on service because a lot of people have gardens, so I am excited about that! I am glad to have good teachers. Our district has been doing Purple Пятница and it has carried over to the other district (our 2 districts are the whole zone..ha) so I will have to get a picture from someone and send it haha
I can't believe Thanksgiving is already here. There are so many things I am grateful for! I am grateful for my parents, my sisters and their families and my brother. This week I have had the opportunity to learn more about and review Joseph Smith. I know that there has never before or never will be again a 14 year old boy who gets persecuted day in and day out and until he gets murdered for what he said he saw and knows and expect no recognition, giving it all to God. "Millions shall know brother Joseph again" I am so grateful for him adn his willingness to endure so we could enjoy the gospel of Jesus Christ. I am so grateful for the Book of Mormon and the truth it has in it. And most importantly I am so grateful for my Savior, Brother and Redeemer Jesus Christ. We would be nothing without him. I am grateful for this time of the year that we can be reminded of all of the things we have been given and all of the things that we have. It is a wonderful time of the year. I love you and miss you but I know it is just a short time in the eternal perspective .
Until next week
Love,
