Week 24: Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everybody!!!


This week was good. We had about 12 lessons with investigators and a lot of plans with them but 9 of them fell through. Super frustrating but it's fine. We had a branch Christmas party on Saturday and it was going to be so good. We had planned on about 30 people coming and lots of investigators and potentials coming. It turned out that we had 11 people total and only 1 potential show up. The rest members and us. The food showed up 2 hours late so instead of starting at 6, we started at 8. It was kind of awkward for the first hour just waiting for the food but then we just started to pull out games and played chess and ping pong. It wasn't bad though. The next day at church I was the conductor of the meeting and I did an okay job. But then when the branch president gave his talk he asked me to translate because he doesn't speak Russian. So I translated for the guy and his talk. It was terrible but a good learning experience. After sacrament meeting we just decided to eat the left overs from the party the night before so that was our second hour. 
I am so glad that I have the opportunity to be here is Russia to teach people about Jesus Christ around a time that we celebrate his birth, even though they don't really celebrate it here. I know that the work that I am doing here is true and that if we turn to Christ we can solve any problem that we have with enough faith. I love this gospel and I love how it just makes sense!

Merry Christmas Everyone 
Love you all!

с Любовью,
