Well this week we had a really great conference with Elder Evans. The spirit was super strong! I loved it. I learned a lot of good things from it. It was really great!
Also this was my first week with my new companion (who by the way doesn't know any english). It's been really interesting to say the least. He's 27 and from siberia. Now we have to do everything (comp study, planning, and everything else) in Russian. It kinda gave me a head ache or the first couple days haha but its ok. It's nice to have someone who can just explain things to me, just a little hard when I can't ask my question in english. He is a really incredible teacher. He just has such a way with people, its really impressive. I think I'll be able to learn a lot more than just Russian from him.
The rest of this week nothing really special happened. We met with a few former investigators this week, but nothing promising came from those meetings. Oh, yesterday the 2nd counselor in the stake presidency came to our ward and brought a long two american girls with him. They are the neices of someone here just visiting and the 2nd counselor is a professional tour guide so he had been touring them around for the previous 2 days. Anyways, I had to translate for them in sacrament meeting. That's always really stressful, but I survived.
Well I know this letter is pretty short, but I can't think of anything else suepr exciting that happened. Well, I learned how to make borsch. I jsut stood right behind my companion the whole time and watched him make it and then wrote down everything he was doing. Also I took my first trip this week to a russian butcher shop. I think the 2 most unappealing things that I saw there were cow hearts and pig hearts (yes, they eat those here) and then of course tongue, I'm glad that I ate it before I knew what it looked like before it is cooked. It was grey and hairy. Some things that they eat I don't know that I'll ever be able to understand.
Met with a few former investigators this week, but nothing promising came from them. Have a few more of those meetings set up for this week too, so we'll see how they go!
Have a great week!
