Cross Jewlery ftw

Another week down!

This week was kind of a blurr.

There was one day where we were running from appointment to appointment and had no time for lunch. So we ended up taking a long dinner and buying a pizza. It was awesome. It was a tryffel pizza. I liked it.

We were able to find a lot of new people to teach, and it's crazy to think about how we can be so perfectly placed to meet the exact right people at the exact right time.

Earlier in the week, we hopped on a tunnelbana to talk to people, and met a woman who is from Ukraine. We noticed her because she had HUGE bejeweled cross earrings, and got her number! We were then able to teach her about Jesus Christ and the Book of Mormon with a member who translated it into Russian. Super cool.

We also taught a boy that Syster Bagley and I met in the mall two weeks ago--because we had noticed his cross necklace! #christianmoment

Other notable events:

- We met with David, who got baptized several weeks ago, and he was very upset that people sometimes call us "Mormons." He kept saying, "It's not Mormon's church, its Christ's church! Mormon is the book!" #youtell'em

- We had some students visit the church to see what a worship service looks like, and it happened to be a Sunday where the organist was absent. So one of the other missionaries struggled to play the piano while we sang every hymn VERY slowly. Haha. But we met with them afterwards and got to answer their questions, which was fun.

- Made chocolate banana bread.

- A lot of people guessed that I'm from Ukraine?

- Our sink broke.

God is real. Christ lives. Have a good week!

A fever and a new comp

Tjena! What a week. It was Kaos. We: - ran around so that Syster Yoachum could say goodbye to everyone before leaving - had hot chocolate and walnuts with our friend *Matt - had transfers - got sick **bonus points, I had a fever and felt AWFUL on transfer day so I stayed home at the apartment to sleep and break my fever before my new companion came to the area. #apostate **extra bonus points, my voice sounds like a grandma who has smoked for like 60 years - did a bunch of street contacting - put our friend *Anna on date for baptism at the end of September!!! She's come to church 4 times now and she has such a pure soul. Love her. My new companion is Syster Jaques, (pronounced like Jakes), and she's great! I think we'll have a fun transfer. Yay! Have a good week everyone, and please enjoy the feeling of not being sick ! Syster Naatjes Syster Jaques and I in the city hot chocolate and walnuts the trio (eyes closed) Fika wi...

IT'S HOT

Hej there everyone! This past week, as you might have guessed based on the subject line, was SO HOT. Holy goodness, me. I learned two things from that trial: 1. I don't like the heat. 2. Black bike seats get SCORCHING when they sit out in the sun. Hot enough that you have to bike standing up to spare yourself the pain. Otherwise your caboose will be SUFFERING. I know it's a shocker, but I have yet to hear from Salt Lake about my travel plans to Sweden. (It's actually not a shocker. This is an official petition for them to get it together.) Anywho, last week was honestly a struggle. It was hot, I was tired, and I kid you not when I say that every nonmember lesson we had ended up cancelling on us. Or not answering the door. Or not responding. Additionally, one of the people we had on date for baptism backed out, and doesn't want to meet with us anymore. BUT, the existence of trials does not mean that there are no miracles. To name a few: - I didn't pass out ...

Splits and Street Miracles

Hej alla! I don't have much time, but I thought to write a couple miracles we saw this week. - We gave out not one, but TWO Book of Mormons on the street #swag - Invited a lady we met on the street to come to church this Sunday, AND SHE DID! And she loved it! She said that she'll come back next week and bring her son with her! - We had a member in on one of our lessons, and they bonded SO WELL with our friend. It was awesome. I guess they both really like papagoyas? Very random lol - A random guy called us and said he wants to come to church ? Nice. - I had been really craving American pizza, and had TWO opportunities to eat it in the past couple days. #SCORE Some other random things: - One of our friends is from Egypt, and told us that "All Egyptians love Home Alone." As in, the American Christmas movie. Which made me laugh really hard. - One of our members asked to do a fika after church and told us to invite all of our friends. Then we showed up with ou...
