Hello everyone!!
This week was such a blast:) First of all, REALLY exciting thing happened on Sunday! We were at church, and an older lady walked in that we didn't know. She said her name was Lubov, and it was her first Sunday at church. She has a friend who is a member that lives in Norway and she just wanted to come to church, so we are probably going to start working with her! We are really excited:))) It's not often that people just walk into church wanting to learn more.
We also had exchanges this week with Left Bank. I was with Sister Horgmo, the one from Norway. It was really so much fun! She has only been in country for 5 weeks, so it was kinda fun to be a senior companion and to have to know all the Russian and stuff. I felt very blessed, because we went to visit a grandmother and a family and I understood everything! The Russian comes! I've been here for a year now so it's about time. We also had a hard time ordering a taxi because he went to the wrong address and was like "I'm by the stoplight!" and I was like "There is no stoplight!" and he just kept saying it over and over. He eventually found us, lol...
Another fun thing this week was the hockey game we went to on Saturday with the Elders and their friend Kirill. It was the Novosibirsk team, Sibir, against some team that I can't remember the name of, lol. Sibir won though!! 3-2/. No fights, but it was so much fun!
This week, I studied a lot about the freedom to choose that each of us has and the role it plays in our lives. I am so grateful that I am able to choose between right and wrong. Each of us can choose to change. To be a little better each day. To believe. To act. To serve. It is one of God's greatest gifts to us and we should be taking advantage of it each and every day. Choose the right!
I love you all:)))
