But how is life on your side of the world? Over here is really awesome! I’m happy to say I got a few hats and never take them off so I don’t have to dye my hair. I really like the area a lot!!! We have a husband and wife that we teach and they come to church every Sunday they say they used to not like to come, but now they can't help but come. They are so ready for the Holy Ghost in their lives. Their son is on his mission any I can just see so many blessings that it has brought their family. The only thing stopping the husband from getting baptized is he had a problem stopping smoking. First miracle, he got sick and smoking made him throw up so he stopped!!! Second, they really just needed to have a good lesson so we could show them how important it was to get the Spirit. Well what my comp does with me is we plan out the lesson, I start it out and say all I can and then some. She bares testimony on what I said clarifies it a little when needed then I bare testimony and start teaching the next point in the lesson. Sister Fisher is really good to listen to what I say to make sure what I’m wanting to say is understandable in Armenian. Well I was talking and a few sentences came out that I have no idea what I said and nether did she! So Sis Fisher stops me and asks me to repeat what I said so they would know. I couldn’t even remember the thought I had at the time nor could I tell you the words that came out of my mouth so he asks “what their names mean in English?” Susanna and Resurrection “Do you know what she just said?” and both at the same time, started talking and saying the exact same thing that I was talking about! Christ ministry and all the miracles he performed for the people and how he helped mankind so much. So just to let you all know I’ve never thought about Christ ministry nor do I know how to!!! I still can't if you were to ask me what they heard was pure mumbles coming out of my mouth but the Spirit was teaching them about Christ and how wonderful his life was. Crazy how all type of things work out. We'll be running late for an appointment and have to take short cuts and meet people to teach and there is no rhyme or reason for most of the things we do but every thing just always works out!
I made it though all the crazy food at this time of year!!!! I love my life! They have stopped feeding us so much! Between the food here and the fact that they sell Beno bars everywhere for cheap I pretty much have to use my work out time in the morning wisely lol
Mom you and Rebecca asked me about the toilets here so to answer both your questions I do have a flushing toilet… But its how you flush it is different the water doesn’t turn it just goes down. No idea how to explain that, it just does. we only have water sometimes so we fill up a bucket and dump it in the toilet and it makes the water go down when the waters on we don't have to do that we just lift this lever and water pushes it down on its own.
So people have asked about sending me stuff and I’ve asked my “Mommy” Sister Fisher and most families send flat rate packages just though normal mail any other way it gets stopped in customs. Don’t tell them your sending anything expensive just put generic descriptions. Don’t put anything about the church on the out side of packages or letters and just send them to

They really don’t have mail that would come to a house so mission home is the only way but we go down often so I’ll always be able to get my mail when it does get there.
Package ideas if you want to send them once agin don’t feel the need to send any but if you want to that’s ok,
Ranch packets, the flavoring packets are so wonderful! my comp has a little, and there amazing. So onion soup mix, enchilada packets, salsa packets, all are good and they don’t sell stuff like that here or brown sugar oddly enough. We can get veggies like mad, like 4lb of potatoes is .60 not even a dollar. Calcium pills (I might have forgot to bring that)
Pictures are always welcome/needed !!!!Well love all you so much have a good week tell people to email me.
This is me and my companion with the family I told you about.
This is the thing that goes over the tub and we shower from. It shocked me really hard yesterday, I thought I was going to die! Turns out you have to un plug the heater in it before you use it lol
