This week has been great!! I love my new area and I'm not really sure why. It's tiny and I way prefer serving in the city, but I just love Peterhof! So beautiful and I'm not going to lie, definitely my favorite branch so far. All the members are amazing! The majority of the branch is not actually Russian hahha. The branch president is from Cuba, there is the cutest family ever who are from Uzbekistan and one woman from Estonia and then 4 americans (the missionaries). That is literally more than half the branch haha (active at least) but I love them all so much!
The Elders that left, left us a wonderful surprise... the most perfect investigator ever! She is so prepared! We met with her last week and are going to again tomorrow and she came to church 2 weeks in a row and is already acting like a member basically. The members have done a wonderful job fellowshipping her. Really, this past week, this new transfer has just been amazing! I love it so much!! Which is funny cause I wasn't super excited about it, but just shows how the Lord definitely knows best! So grateful for that! (oh PS now that I've remembered to tell you, yesterday was some sort of holiday so the libraries were closed - at least the ones that don't have our websites blocked - so thats why we are emailing today).
Yesterday we went to the huge Peterhof palace and walked around the grounds. It is unbelieveable!!! So pretty!! Unfortunately the water was off so the fountains weren't going, but the were so nice without water. SO pretty. There are also like 4 or 5 other big palaces in our area... not exactly sure why, but apparently all the past tsars and kings and stuff of Russia all thought that our area was the most ideal area for their homes. I'm not opposed really.
This transfer my companion and I decided to go all Russian all the time! It really helped last transfer not being able to speak English with my native companion so, we are doing it this transfer too and its not going to bad... we'll see if we can make it 5 more weeks hahah. Last transfer there were also 2 americans in the appartment with whom I spoke english so there was a little bit of a break, but this transfer there's no break. But it helps!
Well, I am super looking forward to another amazing week in Peterhof!! I just love it! Hope you all have a great week as well!
