Week 76- OCTOBER-E=mc2

Just like E=mc2, it just doesn't make sense that it's already October! The weeks are just flying by, and here we are yet again. I don't know maybe Einstein can explain it to me, cause i just don't get it. Not even an hour after sending my email last week my day was already being filled with an adventure. This adventure took place just two blocks away from the church, when i water pipe decided to burst and spew hot water all over the streets. And goodness you would have thought it was boiling magma the way the Ukrainians reacted. Not even my dear companion dared to tread the .2 millimeters of hot water on the street, or dared to cross the rickity metal bridge, and let me tell you, i don't think it was steam from just the hot water that was in the air, as i glared at my companion from the other side making very prominant, "GET OVER HERE" gestures. She didn't budge. This was about a 15 minute "steamy" debate until one of us finally caved in. Guess who made the 30 minute walk around the entire area to get the metro stop that was only 2 minutes away? Yup, this companionship.

For our FHE on Monday we had a little girls night at the church with some of our potential investigators, and watched The Other Side of Heaven, and oh how it made me miss my brother...and also laugh at a much more extreme level of others watching the life that he is experiencing on the other side of the world. Watching this film gave me an even greater appreciation for my mission, and shed a new light on this work. Whether it be typhoon or a war the Lord's children need this gospel! And i feel very blessed as a missionary to share it! Rumor has it actually that we wont be having gas in the near future and that means no heat. They might actually be shutting down the schools during the coldest winter months because of it. That's why it's been so hard to meet with so many of our potential because they are so bombarded with school work! On top of their load they are having to do the 2 months that will be "missed" on top of it!

Sometimes punk Satan likes to get into my head, my thoughts and worth as a missionary in my part of the vineyard, and that's when suprise texts from your District Leader/Zone Leader really help, "I really appreciate how positive and kind you are, it makes a big difference for others and especially me." and keep all romantic thoughts out of your head sicko's. That stuff's foreign to me.
This week we met with a deaf member of our ward, and she is KNOWN for her sweets. We specifically don't eat any sweets for like a week in preparation for this event. Like i would consider this as a serious sporting event. So one slice (as big as my face) of diabetes cake later, and entire jug of sugar juice, and with a Super Snickers stuffed into my purse for later we made it. But Sister Litvinova wasn't going to make it without our help and when Anya left the room all of were like, "Quick!! We have to help her!" and attacked her slice with our forks with crumbs flying everywhere and all of us looking like a mass of chipmunks.

But the diabetes have been made up for as....well let's just talk about my new diet for a minute here. Never in my LIFE would i have ever thought that i would be craving a tomato, cucumber and corn salad, with a green cheese quesidilla, or making a salad with sour cabbage, beets, and chopped pickles. Seriously, tomatoes are amazingly delicious! 

Oh gosh i don't have time to finish! That's life right? I guess for now you will just have to fill int he blanks, until i get to it later. Sorry!
Uhhh temple trip for a sealing!

Oh you should have seen us watching our past president on the big screen!

Horse farm trip #2!
