Hey fam how’s life been this week? I know for Eileen it has been good! :) Congratulations!!!!!! on the engagement If there is anything I can do to help let me know! This will be so exciting for you all!
This week has been really different. We have been trying to find more of our in-actives and walking around allot trying to find them they have old and new addresses so our map works 1/2 the time but be don't know which half that is... I love the random ppl we find when were out on the street it makes it all worth it!!!
We got a new branch president and 1st counselor not too long ago and yesterday they called a Ward mission leader... My wonderful friend Sticks. Then that night he called me to tell me that he's going to be serving a Mini mission in Gyumri :( so sad I really don't want Sticks to go. (We call him sticks his name is Arman) He's like one of my best friends here.
Well I got this book on how some of the churches here got started.
This is how Tsitsenavank got its start... I can’t read most the names so good luck! and I am going to do the whole thing like they did it... next week I'll send you the English that is on the washer lol its awesome!!!!!!!!!
Tuman, the price (melik) of Hrchas, constantly offended the priest of the village. To get rid of the price, the priest wrote a damnation on a paper, left it in the prince's room and fled. By the damnations of that paper, the prince lost his wife, sons and his whole wealth. Realizing that the the priest’s damnation is cause of all his misfortunes, the price went to find him to beg his pardon. The price passed several cities and reaching Rome, found out that the priest had died.Deserate, he stayed at one of the monasteries as an attendant and kept on prying for the salvation of his soul.
Time was passing. One day , the prince bit the little finger of apostle Peter and held it in his mouth. Next minute, all the icons of the monastery fell down. The priests rushed to the prince trying to take the relic out of his mouth and to kill him. And suddenly a voice coming out from the table, said: "Don't approach the prince". After that, the prince returned to his country and built there a monastery in the place where a cult plum-tree grew. There he buried the finger (tsitsern) of apostle Peter. Since then the monastery has been called Tsitsernavank.
I didn’t change anything!
I laughed so hard!!! I love the translations here! And this story is just funny. All I could think was ... could you fathom if the Bibble Peter would have been AHHH some crazy prince just bit off my finger! that my have made me laugh way to hard. My washer is good to not as good as fingers being bit off. I believe that is says something like "the spin results in no good."
Well Love all you so much. I’ll have to keep you updated on my investigator Anaheat she will be baptized in June don't know what day but some time around my birthday. I'm getting so old!!! Almost 22 I really didn't plan on being 22 ever when I thought about life as a kid. lol but better late than never.
Did I tell you that Elder Scott is coming to our mission June 12th and 13th the 12 is just with us 40 missionaries and the 13th is the whole two countries this mission covers. Were really hoping to get 800 ppl to come.
I've been doing the counting in my ward and we got 40ish ppl in our branch that number had held for 3 weeks now!!! When we first got here the number was 15. I have really high hopes for Armenian I really pray that they'll get a temple some day. The ppl here are so cool!!
I can really see how much the Lord has been blessing me in my life here. I may get sick a lot but I get so much done! I know that its only through him that anything happens. When the spirit is strong I can talk and they understand and I understand them. When I'm not doing what I need to, too have the spirit I can't talk; no one understands me and I don't even have a clue what there saying to me. I love how I can see my Heavenly Father in everything that I do here. I cant believe how much more I'm learning about the gospel there is so much more than just reading your scriptures everyday and going to church on Sunday. Its so much more!!! Really studying the scriptures, holy cow my life seems so easy compared to Alma and Nephi! PS thanks to my brothers for not trying to kill me I really appreciate that. just to let you know. :) :) :)
well now that I'm letting the missionary dorky-ness out I should go. Nothing good is going to come from me staying on longer lol later
Fergie ferg :)
