Well, I have a funny story for you today. This week we were teaching this refferal. She was kind of older and just kept talking and talking and talking and talking and I couldn't fully understand what she was saying, but I tried. At one point she grabbed my ears and said that I had good ears and that meant something really good, but my companion and I both had no idea what she was talking about. So I was sitting there trying to understand and the radio was on and all of the sudden out of nowhere Hotel California came on... yep I was done for. For the next five and a half minutes all I could do was listen to that song and smile so big and Sister Kep was smiling so big too and then the lesson was over. So that night when the zone leader, Lord Apsly (we call him lord because last week he was on family search seeing how far back his line went and he found out he is related to Charlamane, hence lord apsly), so he called and asked us about our lessons for the day and then when we were talking about that one he asked where it ended and I said, "With Hotel California." and it was funny. The end.
So this week was wonderful! The past couple of days here have been so warm and all the snow is melting. Unfortunately they don't ever plow their roads or shovel the sidewalks, so this equals a ton of slush everywhere that sneaks into your boots and makes your feet soaking wet. But that's okay life is still happy, even with wet feet. On Saturday night we went over to this lady's house and she taught us how to make borsh! Yikes spikes! It was so delicious!!! So I wrote down how to do it and I will make it for you in a while, when I see you all again. You should be excited! I am! YUMMMY!
So then also this week we taught this amazing mother and daughter. Their names are Nadegeda (which means hope) and Karina. So we've taught them before and I can't remember if I told you about them, but the mom got in an accident and is now paralized. She is always so happy though. And the daughter turned fifteen on Saturday and is just so amazing and helps take care of her mom and she rocks. So last night we went over there to visit them and to teach them and Karina came and picked us up from the bus stop and walked with us back to their house and talked to us and it was so fun. Then when we got to their house we discovered that they saved Karina's birthday cake from yesterday for today so that they could eat it with us! It was so nice of them and it made my heart so happy. There is just something about this family that makes me so happy and makes me feel the spirit so strongly that I'm almost crying just thinking about it. So after we ate birthday cake with them and talked with them for a while we did a thought. I shared one of my favorite verses from the bible with them, Joshua 1:9 and we talked a little bit about having courage and being strong and how when we trust in the lord we don't need to be afraid of anything. And it turned into a mini testimony meeting and Nadegeda told us about how she knew that God loves her and it's because She got in that accident and is now stuck in that bed all of the time because before she would party all of the time and leave her kids alone at home and her and her husband would fight all the time and it just wasn't good, but now she is in this bed all day everyday and she is always home with her family and they love each other and she must have more to learn because she is still in that bed. She is so amazing! She really is an inspiration to me and I love her! I'll keep you updated on that family, because they are amazing!
Well today we are going to the reenick, which is basically all of these shops set up all around that have anything you could possibly want to buy. I am so excited! I'm going to buy some cute hats because it turns out that if you go outside without a hat on in the winter time all of the Babooshka yell at you and tell you to put your hat on. So I'm going to buy some today so that I can look cute! I'm excited! Well I love you all and I hope that you know that the gospel is true and that through Christ we truly can do anything. And if you don't know it, then find out. Pray, talk to Heavenly Father about it. He'll let you know that it's true... That's all. I'll talk to you next week!
