So things are still really great here! Sorry I didn't really get to explain my investigators at all last week! First of all we have been meeting with this amazing woman named Yulia. She has a pretty sweet story because she has known about the church for about 7 years because she is married to a member who is less active and she has already investigated the church, but for some reason stopped, although for the past few months she has been coming to church. Then just recently came to us because she decided she wanted to be baptized! So we've been teaching her and she is really awesome and has been reading the Book of Mormon and is basically already living all the commandments and she knows a lot already. She's doing great and wants to be baptized on April 6th, It has been an amazing growing experience for me in learning to listen and act on the promptings of the spirit, because in our lessons even though I usually don't know what they are saying, I receive promptings to say or share things and then Sister Bolingbroke tells me after that it worked really good with what they were talking about and it is what she needed to hear. She has a 4 year old daughter who can't walk and she is so cute and hilarious!
We also started meeting with this lady named Yelena, she smokes but wants to quit, we gave her the first lesson and a Book of Mormon and taught her how to pray. She told us of how hard life had been and that she was looking for something that can bring her hope and I felt the spirit super strong the whole time. What was super cool was that sister Bolingbroke called the next day and she said that after we left, she felt so light, that she had never felt anything like that before! And that she hadn't smoked because when she thought of it she felt sick! We have been fasting and praying for that and hopefully it will continue!
BTW, everyone's names here are all the same!! ahahah it's true! and it is so hard for me to know who people are talking about but hopefully I'll learn aha.
