I don't even know what to say about this week. There are a few major events that I suppose I should mention. Like the fact that last tuesday we went and visited this member of ours who I love visiting because she always makes us the best food when we go over. So we taught her a lesson about Thanksgiving and gave her the turkey of thanks that we had made for her. Then there was a surpirse because she started telling us about how our branch is moving buildings at the beginning of March and how they are supposed to move into a building that has a night club and strip dancing... She just kept going on and on about how no one would come to church and about how all you would ever hear is "BOOM BOOM" coming from the club. So then the next day we went and visited one of our other members and she also mentioned how the chruch is supposed to be moving, but she was really excited about it because where we will be moving to is a nicer building and visible to more people and she thinks that moving there will allow people to notice our church more and just stop in to see what we're all about. Anyways, so after that Sister LeBaron and I decided we had better go and check out this new building, so we did and we dicided that we are for moving... But we'll see what happens.
Also, an interesting thing happened on Thursday night. So we have been meeting with one of our inactives Ludmila, for a while and reading the book of mormon with her because she wants to try and finish it by the end of the year, but she has a lot of questions. So we met with her at the chruch and the meeting went really good. Then when it was over we were walking out, and we have to go out the back way during the week, and there are these tile steps that we have to go down and there isn't good lighting... and she fell down the steps and landed right on her head. It was horrible. Immediately she had a giant goose egg. When I felt it, it was so big that it filled the whole palm of my hand... So we got her up and walked her to the hospital that is just across the street from our church. They got mad at her for just walking in... They told her she should have called an ambulance, but she said that was a silly idea, since we were just across the street. Anyways, she told us to leave after that because she just had to wait for a long time to be looked at. I don't know if she's mad at us or what, but when I called her later that night she just said, "everything is okay", like 5 times and then hung up... We'll see.
Everything else was just pretty mellow this week. Alexander is doing well! Katya is the same, she just has so many questions all of the time! They are still the best though. We watched the “Testiments” this week with them and Dasha, their 3 year old, even watched the end with us and when Christ appeared to the Nephites at the end she let out a gasp. It was really cute.
Life is just pretty good. I love serving a mission and sharing my testimony with others. We are trying so hard to find new investigators and spead the good news! Maybe since it's getting to be the holliday season people will want to hear more about Christ! That is my hope. I also think we will try caroling... because I love singing. Well, that's all. I wish you a very happy Holliday season!
Love,
