Hey Everyone,
GUESS
WHAT! Winter just hit in Odessa! It just started snowing! How fun is
that? And freezing cold! haha :)! The WIND has been crazy this last
week! I bought some leggings to keep my legs warm under my tights. They
have yellow purple and black polka dots and reindeer. Maybe I will send a
picture next week! I just bought them today so I hope they work out! ;)
With my fluffy hat! I didn't buy this one... but it was fluffy!
On the bus back from the market! :)
This week was interesting! It was one of those weeks where
basically every appointment cancels (13 if you are keeping track!!!) but
I am still extremely happy and loving life! I think a big part of it is
because people didn't just not show, they had good excuses (sick, work,
guests) and we know that life happens and sometimes things get crazy!
Things were also a little crazy for us too! At the last
minute, we found out that Sister Lameraux would be in Kyiv! So we had a
two day exchange, where I was with Sister McInnes, here in Suvorovsky!
It was a party! Sister McInnes is from Arizona and she is awesome!
Also this week, we received TRANSFO for next transfer!!!
AND>>>>> I will be in SUVOROVSKY again!!!! I will be here
for 8 and a half months (not counting the MTC) That is crazy!!! Over
half of my mission will be here in Suvorovsky! Right now I will tie the
record of any sister in one area, who knows, maybe I will break the
record ;)
I know exactly why I will be here again next transfer. I probably
had 3 ladies in the ward tell me that they were praying that I would be
here until after Christmas! So they must have a lot of faith :) I'm glad
I will be here for Christmas because I LOVE SUVOROVSKY! Something weird
about it though is that I will serve here for longer then I went to my
BYU ward and almost longer (or longer) then we lived in the Shamrock
Farms ward. Much longer also then the Kalamazoo ward! Isn't that
crazy??!?! It has been such a blessing to get to serve in this little
branch and form these amazing relationships! I love this little part of
the world! I will also be with Sister Kelly again! The other sisters are
also staying the same, as well as most of the other Sisters in Odessa.
There is one change! Sister Lee is coming down to Odessa! I am so
excited :) I can't wait to see her! And Sister Hunt will still be here!
Yay! Hopefully we can have an awesome MTC reunion! :)
We try really hard to be creative so that we catch people's attention! One thing that we did was tracting with our portable DVD player. When
people answer, we ask them if they are interested in a 3 minute video
message about Christ. When
showing our video last night, this lady walked up, said, "Are you from
that church" and pointed to our church. We said yes and she started
yelling about how we are sect and then turned around and RAN away! I
think it was supposed to make us mad, but it was just really funny... One video is the church's collaboration with the piano guys oh come
Emanuel video. I have it on my flashdrive, we show it on the TV at the church, and
sometimes take the TV outside and show it on the street. IT's fun!
This week, when we did Service for Vika, we washed her dogs.
That was an adventure! I like animals a lot more after serving here. I
think I actually want a pet cat or dog now! :)
