So, yesterday I got to talk to my family for mother's day! That was so exciting! It made my heart so happy to talk to them and to hear about all that's going on a home and see our new secret hiding place in our house, just in case bad guys try to get us. But I wanted to tell you also about some things that happened this week. So Sister LeBaron was sick at the begining of this week, which was kind of a bummer, but our mission president called us and told us to find a member who could come sit with her so we could go out and work. So we called one of our members and she came and sat with her. It really did feel like we were getting a babysitter! It was fun! I felt so grown up. So while we were out working we met this guy from Germany named Frank. He didn't speak a lick of Russian, so we talked to him a little in English, which he didn't understand either, but it was still fun to talk with him and it reminded me of Thomas (wait I can't remember if that was really his name...). So we also got to teach this other lady who was from Russia. She turned out to be so amazing!!! She is a friend of one of our members and wanted help with learning english for a song that she has to sing for one of her exams in school. It was fun to help her, especially because at the end we got to teach her more about the gospel and what we believe and she was so interested in what we were telling her. So we're meeting with her again on... well tomorrow. :) I'm excited for that. When Sister LeBaron got better, that's when the real fun started... so I don't think I've ever told you, but in Russia they are crazy about staying warm and wearing nylons is part of that craziness. So last week our mission president's wife called us and told us that we couldn't take off our nylons yet and that she would tell us when it's warm enough to do so... I know, kind of weird. But whatever, so on Saturday we were wearing our nylons and we went to a member's house to teach and we got there and took off our shoes and Sister LeBaron's nylons had a huge hole in the heel because of her shoes. So our member, who is a little older, see's the whole and at the end of the lesson she starts taking out everything from her closet like she's looking for something. Turns out she is looking for this pair of new nylons that she doesn't need, but she can't find them, so she just gives Sister Lebaron her old nylons and tells her to go put them on because we are the "face of God" and we shouldn't have holes in our nylons. So Sister LeBaron goes to the bathroom to put them on and the member continues to look for her new nylons which she finds, and then just walks right into the bathroom while Sister Lebaron is changing to give them to her. It was so funny! I couldn't help from laughing out loud! But Sister LeBaron's new nylons look really good. Well, that's all for this week! I love you all!
