Accomplishments that your missionary has done this week.
Sunday To start out my week I realized that one of the best friends that I have ever had or hope to have is and 18 teen year old Armenian named Ani. I've only known her for a month but she has taught me more about missionary work and how to really serve ppl than any one elts ever could. Then I cried when she said. That she will be moving to Russia this month.
By Sunday night I realized that I have become an Olympic level in the sport of "Bucket Flushing"
Monday Went to Lake Sevan got burnt with SPF 100 didn't know that could happen. (3 hr in the car for this one)
Fell deeply in love with my foot I have enough different colors on my foot to make a state flag!
Tuesday Went up to Alivardi for District meeting road a lift that takes you strait up the mountain! (Swiss made) was the only way I would get in it. (2 hrs in the car for this)
Made homemade Peanut butter!!! Tastes so good better than the stuff in America... just saying :)
Wednesday Made no bake cookies that were to die for. Said good bye to Elder Simonson and Elder Stephenson. Simonson is going to America and Stephenson is the new Assistant to the President.
Thursday got my mail... got pranked by mail lol lol lol
Friday Ran around like a chicken with its head cut off trying to show the two Elders that just got white washed into an area around. I myself was white washed into this area only a month ago.
Had a teaching appointment that was out in the middle of nowhere took a taxi there walked part way home realized we would never make it and took a Van home. (walked about 3 hrs trying to get home.)
Saturday left my apartment at 7:30 am and didn't get home till 10:00pm. We went all the way up to Georgia and back this would be like going to St. George from SLC for a 3 hr training meeting and McDonald's. I'm now the 5th Sister Missionary to go up to Georgia. Even got stuck at the border for 3 or 4 hrs. (11 hrs in the car for this one)
To top off this week of about 20hrs in a car (didn't fall asleep once). There is a 2-in-1 shampoo that the Elders left us when they gave us there apartment. I use it but can never stand it up right. So Saturday night after all day of traveling I looked like death. Took a shower used the last of it as was thinking to myself good now I won’t have to hassle with this anymore. It slipped fell and landed perfectly in the corner...
I can’t even tell you how wonderful it is to serve a mission it’s hard and not always fun. But theres nothing that could make me leave here.
Christina and Julia (their names look so normal but they are so not! Julia is said like "you le a"). They are all doing really good, and are going to come to church all together as a family this week I'm so excited. Julia hasn’t been coming because she watches Christina’s kid while Christina goes to church. Ani the 7 year old daughter is special needs and they feel funny taking her to church. We have been working with them and they have become friends with enough of our members that they agreed to try it for a week!
We are also starting to teach this man Maher good luck on that name. He has a wife and two girls he is a good guy. So far he just likes that were American but he really has good questions about our church and keeps wanting to learn more about it. So random how we found him. We were trying to find one of the contacts that the Elders left for us this lady named Alisa they had met with her once. While we were trying to find her we get a call from her that she's in a village and won’t be home. We debited and decited to keep trying to find her house so that when we go back we can find it fast. We met this lady Marlanea, turns out she's friends with Alisa so she takes us all the way to her door it was awkward to say the least praying that Alisa really wasn't home! She wasn't!
Marlanea invited us to her house but we didn’t have time so a week or so later we went to her house. She had shown us her building but its Armenia still hard to find where they live. This man Maher was trying to help us but kept taking us to the wrong houses finally he asks what’s her name… we told him he looked at us and said “oh that’s my Mom”. I was like well of course it would be.
Well love you all thanks for all you do!
Fergie ferg.
