RUSSIA WEEK 3
Hello, I sent a few pictures so that should make you happy! To
answer your questions, I can print off emails from you guys, I get
dearelders rarely (only if I go to Rostov or someone from there comes
here).
I am definitely still loving it here in Russia. I'm having
many 'firsts.' Today I had my first Russian haircut haha it was funny
because obviously I don't know vocab for a haircut and so she'd ask me a
question and I'd just say yes or no depending on how I was feeling at
the moment. But it looks good. Also we are making some Borsch (english
spelling?)- or beat soup for the first time today. It is good that Elder
Belnap is a good cook or I might be in trouble. He made some dang good
pizza on saturday night! It almost competed with the Cowley's pizza oven
pizza. Almost. Tomorrow I am going to go out on a limb and attempt to
make french toast. We'll see how it goes.
Elder Belnap is a great companion, and not just because
he's a good cook.. He helps me with my russian and teaching people. And
I found out he likes cars and top-gear so we found some common ground!
And he knows all the ins and outs of the city and Russian culture so
that's helpful.
I'm glad you and Amy had a fun time in Hawaii! You
should send some pictures. And Jason and dad survived ok without you two
it sounds like. And Jason looked classy in his winter formal picture. I
like that tie. Ha I heard ties are only like 3 dollars here so I only
brought like 4 ties. And I have yet to see a tie here, although I don't
doubt they are 3 dollars--if I could find them! So I continue with the 4
I brought, and Elder Bingham gave me one as a parting gift.
What else do you guys want to know ha? The other day we
were on the street and we had a good little lesson with a guy and then
he put out his hand like he wanted to shake hands, so I took off my
glove and he grabbed my hand and started to read my palm! haha he said I
wasn't very argumentative and then he judged Elder Belnap's hand and
said he was argumentative. Nice guy.
Church was good
yesterday. The ward here has some good, strong members that are super
willing to help out with anything. The 2 sister missionaries in our area
spoke at church yesterday about feeling the holy ghost and did a really
good job. And I blessed the sacrament and said one of the prayers. I
like church here because everyone knows everyone and it feels kinda
homey.
It sounds like everyone is good! I think I lost the
sheet I had with everyones birthdays on it so sorry if I don't give
someone a shoutout. The Big judds burger Taralynn sent me a picture of
looks so good! Hopefully he had a fun birthday. I still don't know when
we are going to skype, either Christmas morning or evening (for you
guys). If I'm thinking logical than I figured we are basically halfway
around the world, since we are 11 or 12 hours difference.
Love you all! next week!
