I was just thinking about that Carpenters song and I think they have it all wrong. I love Rainy days and Mondays. Yesterday was so rainy. We were out on the streets contacting and it just started to pour! So we hid out under some trees until it stopped and then we got back to work, but it was so fun! And don't tell, but I danced a little in the rain. I couldn't help myself. And today is Monday and I just think that I couldn't be happier, so hence, rainy days and Mondays always make me happy. Well, this week was so good! I got a new companion on Wednesday. Her name is Sister Palikova. She is 22 and she lives just outside of Rostov which is about an hour away from where we are serving. She is just serving a mini mission, which means that she will be serving for 6 weeks and then return home. Every once in a while members here serve mini missions when our numbers are odd. So she is wonderful and she loves cooking just as much as I do and she is teaching me how to make some new things. This week we made this curry chicken stuff. It was delicious. So in other news... We had a music night this week with our branch and it turned out to be a sucess. We, as missionaries, did most of the musical acts, but our members brought their friends and we ended up meeting some new people. Sister Kuhn and I sang "somewhere over the rainbow" for them and we also sang "come thou fount". We ended the night by singing "come thou fount" and then had one of the members bear her testimony and the spirit was so strong! I loved it! We also made them banana bread which is a very american thing. People here didn't really know what it was, but they all loved it and wanted the recipe. Oh, and one funny story, so on Tuesday we went to visit our investigator Elena and we told her about music night and she was so excited. We sang her our come thou fount song and she loved it so much that right then and there she started taking off her jewlery and giving it to us. We tried to stop her, but she wouldn't, so now I have a new pair of really cute earings! Well, that's about it. I love you all and wish you the best of luck on all of your endeavors this week. Remember that we are all sons and daughters of God and that he loves us, and then act accordingly. :)
Love,
Sister Leavitt
P.S. To my mom and dad I just had to say that I hope you all heal well and quickly! I love you!!!!
