I’ll tell you about my week end… well Thursday through Sunday.

Thursday was such a wonderful day! We plan for the next week on Thursday s, Sister Deaver and I know enough about the area now to plan out better days and that is a really good thing. After planning we went out to walk around at 4:00 till our meeting … at 7:30. It was looking to be a really long day! We started walking down a road that we haven’t gone to yet and we found this lady with her granddaughter The Grandma was so excited she gave us her address and phone number and asked if we could wait a day or two then come over. As we were walking we found this school that has an Archery place THAT’S WHAT WE GET TO DO TODAY!! They liked us and said that we could come and practice for free. We left that feeling really go we talked to all the ppl there about the Gospel. We started to make our way to our next appointment. We use the metro for that. I saw that we only had a few more swipes left on our card so we stopped by to get some more and the workers were so excited that these two American girls could speak Armenian that they took us to the back room and we explained about our Church and they gave us there number and said if we ever need anything to give them a call. They said that if our rent is too high they will find us a good house nearby for cheap. It was way cool that they were so excited to talk to us. Later that night I was talking to one of the Elders in Vanadzor and he said that 4 of the investigators that Sister Cornwell and I found and were teaching are getting baptized this week! How wonderful is that 3 of them are in this part member family and that there Dad got clean and is coming to church strong, he’s going to do the baptism. The other one is this girl Melina that we found she is so cute! She was the one that gave herself the baptismal date. Right after that we had a man call us that we meet on the metro and he wants to start meeting with us. What wonderful ppl we have here.

Friday started out hard I was way sick in the morning but go well enough to go to English class. We had a girl come to our church house during our English Class. She said that she had an appointment to meet with the Sisters to watch a movie. We had never seen her before, we called the Queers serving in Yerevan and none of them had ever heard of her before. We don’t know if she has met with Sisters maybe from another church here we still don’t know. We told her that she could come back the next day and we could show her the movie. She came back and it went so well we showed her Finding Faith in Christ. The spirit was pounding we bore testimony and we were all crying, it was go good. Ashken was like “I’ve seen a lot of movies about Christ but never one like this”.
It makes me feel good when I get to have meeting like this. It reminds me why I’m here and how much I really just love to be a missionary!


We are doing a nativity for Christmas here and we’ve been trying to start teaching the kids the parts. Well we ran into a bump in the road. We went to the primary of 3 girls and one baby boy (too big to be the baby in the nativity.) We asked them if they wanted to do the nativity they were like whatever. We asked them what they knew about Christ’s birth. “chem haskanoom” = “I don’t understand”. … Poo so we said it again finally we get to the understanding that it’s not the language that they didn’t understand it was that they didn’t know about the story. LOL it was funny the one girl was like I don’t know about that but Adam and Eve and proceeded to tell us the whole story of Adam and Eve. One of the other girls told us that there was a big rock that told everyone that Christ had come. We were like no it was a star. She really didn’t care, she kept going with a new version of the Nativity I think we may go with her telling of it, it was way funnier. LOL just kidding so were going to have to teach the kids the story and then we can teach the songs and stuff. I think it will be cute but wish me luck!

Sunday night some girls in my ward did wanted to do mine and Deavers make up. It was fun but our stomachs were hurting from the Lunch we had made..(ya got our self’s sick lol) And they brushed our hair and they made us use there mascara.... ya we were at serious risk of waking up with pink eye, lice, and food poisoning this morning. But no fear we are well and healthy!
Well got to get going love you all have a good week.
Dad get better fast!!! Love love Fergie
