Hello, all!!
Man, do I have some exciting little updates for you all!! First... I high key almost sprained my ankle the other week!! Elder Hansen and I were running to go and get Анатолий (the church member who we get to carry down the stairs of his apartment in a wheelchair haha). Anyways, so were going to the metro and we realized we forgot our wallet which has our metro card on it!! So we ran back home, and at this point we're pretty late, so we're sprinting down the metro stairs trying to catch the metro in time. As I'm going down the stairs, my foot caught on the last one and my ankle twisted pretty bad, and it's fair to say it hurts WAY BAD. Luckily, this BOB was right there and she helped me up 😂😂 She was so cute. She grabbed my arm and was like "Давай... помочь." She was also wearing a Naruto jacket, so that's how you know she was legit 😂. We got there and helped Анатолий, and within a week's time, my ankle was better haha.

Next fun thing!! For some reason, my side of the room is absolutely INFESTED with roly-polys! I repeat... MY SIDE! Not Elder Hansen's!! First of all, I didn't even know roly-poly infestation was a thing. Second of all, why the heck are they only on my side of the room?!?! It all began as follows... If you are scared of insects, especially roly-polys, don't read ahead... So Elder Hansen and I get home from a day of work, and I get in my bed, AND THERE'S LIKE 3 ROLY-POLYS JUST CRAWLING AROUND IN MY BED!! I'm just like "Oh heckkkk no" and start to squish them all and throw them away. Then I turn to the wall, and legit those roly-polys I just killed, their parents, kids, extended family, AND friends are just posted up on my wall! I went to town on them. Over the days, I still continue to find them on my wall or crawling in my bed. I feel like my life is at stake. I don't know if this is a sign that I need to repent or something, but whatever it is, I'm not liking it. That's not even the worst of it. One of the roly-polys even had the audacity to try to crawl into my patriarchal blessing!! Who does that!! That's private stuff!! But I was blessed from above in this case, because before the roly-poly could get in, he got stuck on the sticky part that seals the envelope shut, and laid there dead 😂, so all in all, I at least need to give praise to that 😀😂.
Lastly, our toilet seat broke off, so that's fun. It has sure been a week of laughs and good memories haha.
Lastly, this week we had District Conference!! I had the chance to sit next to the CUTEST Bob ever when the meeting started (Here, instead of missionaries sitting together, we all split it up and go sit with random people in the room, so I had chosen her)(also, all bobs are cute so I am sorry for the overuse. Trust me you would all love them). Mid-conference she pulled out some sweets and shared with me.. Bless up haha. Afterwards, she was thanking me for sitting with her and saying what a pleasure it was. I responded likewise (although I was sorting the words and grammar out for it 10 minutes before the conference was ending 😂).
However, at that conference President Wirthlin provided us with a great message!! He explained that in his youth, he had taken up the activity of parachuting!! He explained that every single time when the class starts, the teacher would explain the rules and safety lines for when they made their jumps. He would say it once, twice, three times, every single lesson. President Wirthlin, at the time, found the constant repetition of this somewhat exhausting. "Why does he need to keep repeating this, we get it already!"
It wasn't until one day when he made that jump from the airplane, till he realized why. He jumped and noticed that his parachute wasn't working the way it should!! He was falling quickly and was going to hit the ground hard. However, he then remembered the instructions he had received, not once, not twice, not three times, but MANY times from his teacher. He reached for the reserve shoot on his chest, and like instructed, starting slowly feeding it out, as he held onto it tightly against his chest, again, as instructed. He landed safely, luckily, as hoped, in one piece. He explained, as our Heavenly father and his son Jesus Christ tell us to do something in the scriptures, we listen. If they do a second time, we listen! If they do a 3rd time a 4th a 5th a 6th, we continue to listen!! Their words are important. They are given to us to direct us away from danger and onto the right path. They are meant to save us, and they will, when we listen. I invite you all, as you ponder and study the scriptures to continue and search for the instruction of the Savior, and listen to that instruction. This will bless your lives!!
Side note! Tomorrow is Zone Conference and I'm so excited WOOO!! Zone conference is the best. Can't wait to tell you all about it!!
Love you tons!!
