Corona Virus And Flower Fridays!

Hey everyone!


So things are fine here. Honestly, there are not a ton of corona virus cases over here in Russia (thank goodness), but we do have some stricter restrictions after this week, like we are now not allowed to use any public transportation including taxi's and things like that... the world is going crazy!!
Anyways, back to my week! This week was good. On Friday, Sister Epperson had the idea to buy flowers and pass them out to random women on the street, so that's what we did! We handed them out to older women and especially those who looked sad. There was one lady who gave me the weirdest look, but then looked at her flower, and smiled so big! We called it Flower Friday, and we kinda want to do it every week now so that's going to be fun!


We had zone conference this week and exchanges. I was with Sister Scott, who served in Novosibirsk with me for a little bit! We went to a grandma named Svetlana and she was SO cute! She had the most out of tune piano I've ever heard! We read the scriptures with her, a verse talking about how we are all beggars. We are all children of God, and we all have our own problems and things that we are struggling with, so we need to be kind to eachother! We are all trying our best, and it will be so much better if we are all unified.


Sorry for the short email this week (and no pictures... whoops) but everything is fine over here and no one has corona virus yet!


Love you all!
