It is good to be back writing on a computer at the branch (instead of the stress of the timer of a internet cafe computer) writing to y'all :) It's also good to be back serving on the Left Bank and in this branch! Not all of them.. but most of the members remembered me and it was good to see them again. We got to visit a few of them this week already and they're all super great.
It's my first time ever serving in just one branch! It's pretty weird. We're definitely not as crazy busy as before but we still have a lot of work to do. This week we were mostly trying to figure things out together etc. but it was a good week. We even saw some miracles and we have an investigator on date to be baptized!!
Btw Sister Busath is awesome! Super cool, we have lots in common and I'm excited to have this transfer serving together!
So Saturday night was pretty cool. I'd say we had kind of a last floor, last door experience (talk by Elder Ucthdorf https://www.lds.org/liahona/2016/11/general-womens-session/fourth-floor-last-door?lang=eng ) except tracting (going door to door) is not very effective here. We weren't doing that but we were going to visit members on our list and drop off cookies and get to know them. Well the day was kinda long, it took forever to make these cookies for some reason and I accidentally burnt some of them and then a lot of people weren't home or wouldn't let us in but we did give out two of our three bags of cookies and it was cool cause at the house we planned to stop by we met a nice guy who used to come to our English practice. But then we still had one bag we wanted to give to someone so we looked to see if anyone had a birthday recently and we found this one guy who we didn't know but he lived close and so we decided to see if we could give them to him. Well it seemed like he wasn't home and a babushka (grandma) sitting on the bench beside the apartment tried to help us find who we were looking for and she asked the lady who just came up to the door if she knew him. Turned out he was her son! And she was wanting to talk to us and to visit them! Blessings:) God is directing His work my friends.
We had an awesome lesson with our investigator Galina (different one than last time) and she said that she's decided she for sure wants to be baptized! So happy for her:)
Also guess what?! I finished the Book of Mormon yesterday!!! WOOHOO! Second time all the way through and best time! I flipping LOVE this Book and I know that it is the word of God. I have gotten so much closer to my Savior this year by studying it everyday and I invite all of you to do it to cause seriously you'll be amazed at how much it will bless your life! :)
LOVE you
