Ahojky!
I don't even know what happened this week, it went by really
fast. We have some cool new investigators, so we are finally teaching a lot
again! We have a goal of 21 lessons this week, so we'll see :) Really nothing
too exciting happened. The triplets turned 11, so that was fun, we celebrated
their birthday when we came over for the lesson on Thursday. They are SO cute.
Nefy has memorized the first 5 articles of faith, they fasted for the whole 24
hours for fast Sunday with their mom and Johy bore her testimony in Sacrament
meeting about an experience she had at school--their school serves tea, and she
had asked if it was black tea or herbal, and everyone told her it was herbal,
but she didn't feel right about it, so she didn't drink it, and then found out
later that it was black tea after all. It was so cool to be able to teach her
that that feeling she had was the Holy Ghost helping her to choose the right,
she was like, really?? It's just so neat to see their testimonies grow--they
all came to church with new modest skirts yesterday :) I don't know how I got
so blessed to be able to teach them. And they got to go on the Temple trip on
Saturday with everyone, so even though they can't go in yet they got to feel
the difference on Temple grounds--Nefy told me at church she wished she was
there "right now". They are just counting down the days until they
turn 12. Aah so much happiness--I love that family so much.
We are doing singing time in Primary now--can't remember if
I've told you that already, but it's adorable. The kids don't know any primary
songs because it used to be only the Kynclovi's 3 girls every week (that's how
it was when I got here). But on Sunday we had 8 little girls, and we were
missing 5 other kids. So cool. Anyways, so we've taught them Love is Spoken
Here and they are loving it, started Scripture Power last week :) It's been
pretty fun--even the 4 year old learned the whole thing. Plus Sister Rosenvall
was primary chorister before her mission so she actually has experience haha. I
just love this branch so much. All of our recent converts were bonding in
Relief Society on Sunday :)
Well this email ended up being all about little kids haha.
This week should be good we are so busy teaching, it's the best when you don't
have time for dinner or language study :) Plus we are getting a senior couple
on Thursday!! Wahoo. They will help so much--it means that we don't have to run
all the activities for the YSAs, like FHE, game night, sports day, but they can
be in charge. So I'm excited to have them, they really do make such a
difference in a district.
OH yeah and we have a baptismal date! It's so interesting
because on our vision for the transfer we put a wedding, thinking that Petr and
Kat'ka would get married so that they can get baptized--but now they are saying
it will be next year. So we were kind of bummed about that, but then we started
teaching the girlfriend of a less-active, and she's decided she wants to be
baptized, and that they are going to get married on August so that she can!
Super cool. Visions are just inspired--President Irwin used to quote that
scripture all the time--where there is no vision the people perish. It's so
true, if you don't have a goal to work towards, then what are you progressing
towards?
Love you!
