Hey hey hey! I was a crazy week, I'll tell you what I remember. Tuesday we had district meeting, we said goodbye to some people. Monday night we had a lesson with an investigator that speaks english and Elder Saxton got real ticked when he misunderstood what the investigator said to him. Wrecked that lesson, maybe the relationship with missionaries. bummer. So Tuesday we did that stuff and packed. then, Wednesday we had the transfer meeting. We went to the center of the city, meet, said goodbye, and we were off. My comps had interviews with president so we waited for a few minutes. Hours. Then at 6 we had a 6 hour train up to Petro and got no sleep. But Elder Holman taught me how to solve a Rubiks Cube, and now I can do it in 2 minutes. Cool dumb pointless talents. Then we slept... got up a the usual time, and we were dead. We met a member to get our registrations here all set up, then contacted for a few hours. Some sisters left this area of the city to the other half and took all the investigator sheets with them, so now we have nothing and they're killing it. But that's ok, off to work. My Russian companion is telling me to stop emailing so we can get going, and I'm saying no. I need to finish. I have like 30 more minutes. Darn him. We have lots of fun together, I like being with two other companions. It is a little tough with the living conditions though. Small rooms, three dudes, not a good combo. We met with a few of the active members to get to know them, and we had a full day service project and we moved a members stuff to a new apartment. It was really fun. The lady was less active, and she thought we didn't understand a word she said the whole time, but we did. She was embarrased when she figured out that we had been here for months and spoke Russian ok. it was funny. Church yesterday was good. We had about 26 people, and we had a great testimony meeting. I like it when I come into an area and it's testimony meeting right away. It's a good time to just get up there and make yourself known to the ward. it's a good ward and I'm happy to be here.
I realized something this week. Sometimes, we think that we are really bad at something. We think we're just terrible at it. In reality, we aren't bad. My Russian companion told me that he wanted to improve his awful patience. He has great patience. So, I don't really know where I was going with that. I just wanted to say it.Love you all.
