What. Is. Up.
So not a lot of new things this week... except one pretty big one: Sister Condie and I were called this Sunday to be the new Sister Training Leaders!! --- Sister training leaders are basically the equivalent to zone leaders but for the sisters in our zone ( now 14 sisters total) which basically means we're in charge of all of them, making sure they're doing well and helping them with anything they need. More meetings. haha. Also to welcome in the new sisters coming in and we actually got a bunch of new missionaries yesterday! Only four in our zone, speaking Lithuanian and Latvian but another zone has lots of Russian and Ukrainian speakers. One even going to Dnepropetrovsk! We did a little orientation, showed them around campus.
Really it's not that big of a deal, just a little more responsibility.:/ aha. But could you guys even imagine me as a leader?? Yeah. Me neither. haha. But I will try to be awesome as the previous STL companionships were! And I know the Lord will qualify my service. :)
Oh yeah and a funny thing that happened this week was that we got reassigned to Estonia... JKJKJK. But we did have a little scare that we might have been! So what happened was during our study time this lady comes in to our class room and is like Ciao! and starts talking to us in a language that we were hoping was not Russian because we did not recognise a word! So we thought she got the wrong room or something but then she was like nope! Writes on the board that she's speaking in Estonian and starts teaching us some basic sentences in Estonian, like my name is.. so we were like what is going on?? I was even thinking woah, maybe we got reassigned to speak Estonian! :0
Eventually we learnt that she was just there to teach us more about SYL ( Speak your language ) and she was the Estonian teacher but there are no Estonian missionaries in the MTC right now so for some reason she was teaching us this. We were still pretty confused most of the time because we didn't understand her but it still went well. WEIRD times though lol.
It's great to hear that some of you guys are also getting really excited about #LightTheWorld ! Keep it up! And for those who haven't looked at it yet, it's not too late!! Go check it out at mormon.org And to make it easier to remember what the Christlike action is everyday they have a calendar you can print out to help! We've been trying to do it as much as we can here, somethings we can't really do in the MTC but we make do. Like yesterday for "Jesus fed the hungry and so can you" we snuck lots of candy in our teacher's jacket pockets hahah. I also read in John 6 about how Jesus is the bread of life. And it is so true. If we will learn of Jesus Christ we will never be spiritually hungry.
Today is "Jesus prayed for others and so can you". It is so simple but prayer is so powerful. I want you guys to know that I pray for you everyday! I love you all! And I pray that you'll all try to share the light of Christ this Christmas, just by showing charity and love to everyone. :) IT's super fun too:)
До свидания!
