I really don't know what to say this week.
It's like when you don't write in your journal for a few months and you just don't know where to begin or what's really important to say.
We're teaching a woman named Svetlana. She's eating up the Book of Mormon and came to church. Crazy thing is that she lives like two buildings down from us!! How did she not know we exsisted before now?? The Lord really does direct everyone and knows when it's their turn to meet us, whether they accept it or not.
This saturday we have a baptism scheduled for a couple in the elder's area that left the church years ago and have returned.
Last tuesday was Russian Christmas and we had a big party at the branch! It was so much fun! :)
I've learned a lot in the past couple weeks about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I can't remember another time in my life how clearly I could see faith, repentance, baptism, the gift of the Holy Ghost and enduring working in my life in such distinction. As I continue humbling myself the Lord keeps teaching me about His gospel, which has enabled me to experience a deeper conversion and conviction. This has really effected how I find, teach and work within the branch. I want everyone to understand more about the what the Gospel means and feel it working in their lives because I feel it changing me! This is the true Spirit of missionary work.
Question: Ben can start his papers soon right??
Love you all! Have a great week!!!! :)

Also, the Russians here think it's really funny that ya'll have colder weather than us. Everything is melting!!! But they promise that feburary and march will be cold. We'll see. I'm good with either but I'd rather mother nature just pick a season!
