We had zone conference this week...hollllllaaaaaaaaaa so good. Perfectly molded for our companionship. I love zone conference. We talked a lot about order, planning, goals and how to achieve them...the Lord's timetable, getting along with your companions, and facing the tough spots of missionary work instead of avoiding them. Borsche for the soul. My district is on fire. I have never worked with such strong, dedicated missionaries...its a relief in a lot of ways. There huge examples to me. We are turning this city around! Next temple : Zaporosia, Ukraine...right across from the dam! That sounds funny...i didn't mean to be all ironic like that...anyways...............
I don't really know what to say...investigators are trucking along...Our Anya really wants to be baptized and we're working towards it...our Olga is like our mom...we always have something in our fridge from her (right now it's weird though...this milk/smetana mixture that's really nasty, but I'm supposed to drink two spoonfuls before bed to "cleanse my body"...she's awesome...i drink it for her :) Alyona is amazing...we're still teaching her guitar and guess what? So we just got this dvd celebrating the church in ukraine for 20 years and we watched a bit with her and we were like, "Hey. Alyona. How bout you bring this home to your parents and watch it with them?" She was like, "Hey. Yeah. That's an awesome idea." then we were like, "Hey. So how'd it go?" and she was like, "Hey. They really really liked it and want some more dvds about the church!" UGH!! I'm so happy!!!! baby steps baby.... :) They also invited me to there house to help Irina (her little sister) with her english homework...Alyona speaks really well, so there might be some secret mission behind this whole thing... things are rolling and Alyona is seriously doing it on her own...woooooooowwwwww!
Last night we were walking home with Mama Olga and it was really icy so i was like, "Olga, poekhalee! (which means basically "let's ride!")" And we linked arms and took off sliding down the dirty, slippery streets of Zaporosia...We were both laughing so hard...we would take turns supporting and sliding, supporting and sliding...oh i love that woman...she is like a 9 year old in a 55 year old's body :) And Mama Anush just observed and chuckled quietly, shaking her head. haha... Olga has read the Book of Mormon 3 times. She'll be baptised one day.
Thanks for the love and support family dear...i can't imagine serving without knowing you guys got my back. s praznikom k stati! It's "womens week" this week and people are going crazy with flowers and chocolate and plants and stuff.

ps. ANDREA - haha.. you lil cutie pants...and ps...feel free to write me emails! It's only not allowed for me to write you back...but guitar....The easiest way would be to learn the chords and a basic strumming pattern instead of tabs. The chords are written in the back of the hymn book. You might be able to find them out online...i just kinda figure out what sounds good. Call lizzie! She'll help you mos def ... But yeah... simple chords and a simple picking pattern. love you girl...got your letter this week...and you're fabulous nasty cat picture...hahahahah...pretty sure i died
