JULY 7, 2014 ~ Sometimes Change is GREAT!!!

Well you might have guessed, but transfers are this week and you will never guess what is happeneing to me!  I get to go back to petergof!!!!! I am so excited!! And I will be with Elder Noorda who was in im MTC district!!  I am so excited!  But I am really sad to be leaving Kolpino, the members here are so great.  

Speaking of that, yesterday was probably one of the best testimony meetings I have ever been to.  It was so good! They were all actual testimonies and not life stories and it was really powerful.  I actually thought I wasn't going to have time to get up cause people would jump out of their seats every single time whenever the person speaking said Amen.  It was great.

Also we had been planning this big lesson to go with this program that we have been trying to start and I was supposed to do the lesson on the 3rd hour next sunday, but thought that wasn't going to be happeing since I am getting transfered and won't be there.  So I thought It was all going to be up to my poor companion who is getting a brand new missionary and this sunday would be his very first in Russia.  But during 2nd hour I got a call from the assistants who told be that I would be going on a split Sunday and will be in kolpino.   The guy in the ward who we have been doing this whole thing with (also happens to work in the mission office) called the assistants and told them that it was absolutely necessary that I am in kolpino next sunday.  So they asked the mission president and he gave approval!  So it will be really weird next week haha, everyone thinks that I'm gone but I'll be in church here next week.  And I hope the lesson goes well.

Today we went to the katherine's palace which was cool.  We saw to american couples (members) who were on a tour with the stake presidency second counselor here.  (He is a tourguide).  That was cool.  Apparently they have been in a lot of other cities travelling Europe and have been on the look out for missionaries, and they finally found some today haha.  

Also we had a great week!   Some pretty cool lessons.  I am sad to be leaving here, but so happy to be going back "home"!  

Have a great week!
