Alright well hopefully this week the letter won’t get deleted before I send it to you! Holy good week Batman!
So we took a shorter P-day last week so that we could go to the Russian Ballet this week. So so so good!!! We went with all but two of the Sisters in the mission ... so there were 7 Queers and then Elder Reece and Elder Chennie ... (Elder Chennie's mom grew up in the Lehi 2nd with Dad. Don't remember her first name but her maiden name is Gray. She remembers Dad and Sherrie.) The Ballet was so good! I really almost cried at one point. It’s amzing what they can convey in dance!
So this week my comp and I were trying to find a house that we have gone to three times before, we have never had any problems finding it. This time was different. We could not for the life of us find this house! We got on the right road but after that nothing looked familiar. We found the outside of her window at one point but we couldn't find the door to get to her house... it was the weirdest thing ever! After we walked up and down the apartment complex trying to find a way to get to her house we gave up and just counted it as were not meant to go to her house today... A man stops us and asks where were from I said American and he looks us over and was like “well will you come to my house right now and teach me about whatever your church is?” I asked him if he lived with anyone. (We can’t go into an apartment if there is only one boy in there) He said that he lives with his friend. I'm the scaredy cat of my companionship. I don't even know how it happened but I said yes. And just went with him right then to go to his Apt. I can’t even tell you how odd it was. I NEVER go to the men's apt when they invite us to go and teach them like that. But I just felt so peaceful about going I couldn't say no. It was a hard lesson. Him and his Friend are really smart and KNOW their history. They wanted us to come back again so the second time we went we took Tamara, a girl in our ward (she speaks near perfect English). She was a life saver! They said they would come to our stake conference (it’s really District conference... we don't have stakes) Two of them Loved it!!!! one of the men was on the brink of tears. He kept moving closer and closer so he could see the speakers better. He found us after and was way excited asked when we could come back to his house and teach him more. They were all like "We really felt something different... this is good!"
My Queer and I were on cloud 9 last night!!!! After the conference yesterday we were way excited We also found out about transfers we get another 6 weeks together in NORK!!! we were so happy we really didn't want to be transferred! We have build up Nork from nothing to one of the best areas in the south in only 6 weeks and so much will happen in the next few weeks to come we didn't want to miss it. But in the end we know it’s not us at all that is doing anything it’s all the Lord just letting us sit front seat on the ride. And I am so thankful that he lets me see his work!!! My District leader told us last night that the whole South Zone only got 5 new investigators the week before. This week my queer and I got 4. I really have never had such a strong testimony of it really is not me!!! It’s all Heavenly Father. He helps me so much every day! Sometimes I feel like a needy girl but he's there to listen to me all the time, It's so wonderful.
So I got another marriage proposal this makes 6 REALLY bold proposals in the 5 weeks I've been here. This was my first member that did it. He tried to go through Elder Reece to marry me. Luckily for me Elder Reece said no. But he still follows me around at District conferences....JOY! LOL I really will come home with a complex. You all still have to love me!
I most likely won’t email next week were going to Ararat to see the old Pagan Church. But I will have just talked to you the day before. Have fun love you lots!!! Can’t wait for Mothers day!

Rafiek one of the coolest old members of our branch. He told us Every Friday at 6 the missionaries come to teach him and his family. Who are we to mess with a old man routine. We go and he always finds new family members for us to teach. He's a stud and helps the work along so much!
