All is well :)
I can't believe it's Monday again....
some parts of this week feel like weeks ago, and some parts of this week feel
like yesterday.
There is now a stake in the Russian
Samara Mission. So so cool :) President Schwab prayed and worked so hard for
it.
Had splits up in Toliatti this week and
dang, even though those sisters are both on their third cycle and their Russian
isn't the greatest they were just setting up lessons left and right. Just goes
to show that it really is the Lord's work :) Sisters Larsen, Thomas, Neilsen,
and Hullinger were all in the MTC together so it was fun for them to actually
get out and work together in the field. On Wednesday with Sister Hullinger
people were brutal. No one wanted to talk and they really let it show haha, it
really filled my heart with love and appreciation and respect for what the
sisters are doing in Toliatti. The 5 hour bus ride home was spend sleeping...
sister Thomas and I took some motion sickness pills and it really knocked us
out.
We did manage to have a good lesson with
A though. We called him and he let us come over and this time we dropped by
with a different member, G, who is very calm and follows the Spirit and is
a really good listener. We learned a lot about him during that lesson. His wife
died 16 years ago of cancer and one of his other daughters died recently of
cancer as well. He's got one daughter left and I'm sure he's wondered if she's
got the cancer in her genes as well. He doesn't believe in the afterlife but
we're really focusing on faith with him and he is actually willing to believe.
We're taking it slow and just telling him about who God really is.
I love my mission and I'm grateful to be
here in Russia :)
Love,
Sister WIlson
