Here is this weeks email We LOVE finally getting a few pictures of her. Enjoy.
This has been a very very interesting and exciting week. But first things first, I have to wish my older and wiser Sister a very “Happy Birthday Kandace!” I love you more than a fat kid loves chocolate cake... And I hope that you have a wonderful beautiful birthday this week! So in other news the begining of the week was so crazy because we worked on Monday instead of doing p-day, then we took our p-day on Tuesday. This was so much fun because we got to go up to Rostov and see the Senior Couple and stay with them. Sister Lebaron and I even made a chocolate cake at their appartment, which just so happens to be a miracle! inspiration by the holy ghost because every zone conference Sister Jeppson makes chocolate cake for us, but this zone conference her and elder Jeppson were also speaking, so then she ended up not having time to make the cakes, but turns out we already made them! I love when the holy ghost prompts you to do something and then you do it and it helps some one else! And that was so much fun because their apartment is big and that means that their kitchen is big and so I got to really bake. I didn't realize that I missed it so much until I tried doing it again! I love cooking so much! So that was Tuesday. Then on Wednesday we had Zone Conference which is always so uplifting and inspiring. We made mini volcanoes out of play dough and then put vinegar and baking soda in the middle and got to watch them errupt. That was a ton of fun! Then we talked about how to create an atmosphere where the spirit can teach the peole we meet and how we need to do everything that we can to create those mini explosions in peoples lives when they hear the gospel... There was more to it than that, but I can't remember it all and I don't have my notes with me, so if you didn't quite understand that last little bit, that's okay. Well I think that brings us to Thursday, which was just a normal working day. We met with some inactives and did some contacting and it was so fun. On Friday we got to do service for one of our inactives. We picked Cherries and tied grapes for him. It was a ton of fun. On Saturday we met this really cool guy contacting. When we first met him he said he was athiest, but we just kept talking to him and teaching him and by the end he asked us for a copy of the book of mormon and gave us his phone number so that we can meet him again. I hope that the spirit with give him a change of heart and that he will accept the message of the gospel. So then Sunday, we met this really cool girl about a week ago and she invited us to come to her Church. We told her we could for a minute and she should come to ours to. But of course she couldn't come to our church because their church has two church meetings. One in the morning when our meeting is and one at night. So we still went to the one at night with her and I just have to tell you that it was one of the weirdest experiences of my entire life. After we were done there I just felt so icky inside, it wasn't like they were doing anything too weird or crazy, they just prayed and sang and discussed, but I just didn't feel refreshed like I do after I go to one of our church meetings. I was grateful for the experience though because my testimony that this church is the true church of God and that it was restored to the earth through his prophet was affirmed and it gave me a greater desire to do missionary work. She is a really amazing person though and we are having a book of mormon activity/ picnic on Saturday and she said that she could come! So I hope that she will come and feel the spirit with us. And that was my week. It has been so amazing. I have seen the blessings and inspirations from the Lord all around me and I know that if you look for the hand of the Lord in your life you'll see it. I love my life! It really is such an occasion! I love you all!!!
