This has been a great week! I don't really remember what happened though to be honest. I love being a missionary though!
We
had zone conference this week! As usual it was AMAZING! We learned a
lot about acting in faith and immersing ourselves in the scriptures.
I've been learning that there is so much to the scriptures that I can't
even begin to understand. I love reading the scriptures so much so its's
so exciting to see how much there is to learn!
I
had a really cool experience this week. Remember how I said we were
learning Russian? Well a couple of days ago we got a call from Sister
Kovolska, a sister in Vancouver YSA who also was my STL in Victoria!
She's from Ukraine and it turns out the family from Ukraine that's been
teaching us Russian wanted to invite her over for dinner. She got
permission to go because only one member of the family is a member of
the church and they are wanting to learn more. We went on splits so I
went with Sister K to the dinner and SIster Nerenberg went with Sister
K's companion to another appointment. The whole night I spent confused
as everyone around me chatted really fast in Russian. It was a really
cool experience. Every now and then they would be polite and try and
talk in English... but it was a stretch. I told them about Grandma and
Grandpa and they said "this is what they're experiencing right now! You
must feel very connected to them right now." So shout out to Elder and
Sister Bloomfield in Russia! Anyways, Sister K taught them and I was
able to bear my testimony at the end. We went back yesterday (Sister
Nerenberg and I) And were able to teach them again! It was so amazing!
I've
been thinking a lot about the plan of salvation lately. I've gained a
testimony that Heavenly Father loves each of his children individually
more than we can comprehend. This plan He has for us is affixed, and if
we follow Christ we are GUARANTEED eternal happiness. He is so loving
and merciful. Go and watch "our eternal life" it's a mormon message that
talks about this plan and is amazing!
Anyways, this has been a pretty normal week! I hope everyone has a great day! Happy Valentines day!
