Hey,
My back hurts too.
I am excited! Only 20 days until your baby!
Hey, what is your address. I wrote a letter last week, but didn't send it b/c I know you moved again. Uh-oh. I wanted you to get it before I got home. I might send it to your old address. You live in IF now don't you?
Well, today we start again! I am excited for the hopes of new weeks! I love this work so much. This week we had many great contacts. I love talking to people and I love never giving up on people. I had another amazing contact on a marshytka with a lady who at first rejected me. But, continuing to speak with her and see her open up, we were able to speak about the good news of the restoration and the blessings that Heavenly Father has for all of us. I am so thankful for the hundreds of people we meet each day, the opportunity to represent Christ! We had really so many people who stopped to listen to us this week. I am so thankful for that! I know the Lord desires all of His children to come unto Him and I know that only we are those chosen to guide them to find the path.
Sister C. is wonderful. She has a heart as big as Ukraine and has already fallen in love with the people. Our hearts have already begun to feel sorrow together for those who do not want to continue to find truth. But, she is amazing. She is doing such a good job and I feel has already accustomed to the work! I am super excited for this week were we will both continue to grow together.
So, yesterday here is what I did. but, first let me give you the run-up to it. Friday, I called our 2nd branch president's wife. We are trying to help the members do their visiting teaching, and she normally goes with us to do "splits." However, her and her wonderful family were on their way to the temle. So, she asked if I would teach Primary. I love primary! Then, on Saturday night I called a member in our First branch presidency. His daughter is not a member, and we have been working with her. So, we called to see how they were doing. Well, at the end of the conversation he remembered he still needed to find a speaker. So, he asked me! ni choho. (We have 2 branches). Then, on Sunday after sacrament, Bogdana asks me if I can teach releif society for the first branch as well. I told her I couldn't do both primary and relief society so she would have to pick. She had an hour to decide! Well, it turns out that the only people who came to Relief Society on Sunday were an American humanitarian missionary serving in Russia and her translator from Kiev. We decided to do the lesson in English - therefore, I taught. But, it was a remarkable lesson, talking with these wonderful women about faith! We shared such great experiences and talked about the lessons we have learned and how our faith has grown. At the end I understood what sisterhood really is. There was something special about the spirit that we felt. We had never met. But, by the end of our 30 minute discussion, we had grown together so much. We shared openely our feelings and thoughts about Christ and really felt a bond of love for one another. I understood more of the blessings of the spirit and how He really unites us. What a blessing it is we receive this gift when we are baptized - that we, as members of the church, can feel of one another's spirit and feel the bonds that we all share. The bond of sisterhood & of brotherhood in the church of Christ. It is true: Mosiah 5:7 says we are born again and become the sons and daughters of Christ. We are united! Baptism is where it can start!
I learned a lot this week. I am so thankful for everything I have been blessed with!
I was sad to think that you had to go through this pregnancy alone. but, you have been strengthened! I am so impressed with you! I Love you and am grateful for the world of experience and wisdom you have gained!
Well, have a great day.
i have to write Pres. Steinagel.
Love,
Sister M
