Hello!
It
is hard sometimes to turn the other cheek, because you just want to
teach the person doing the wrong thing a lesson. Somehow let him know
he's being an idiot. But in the end, we can't really do that. Only one
Person can teach in that way. It's definitely something I'm working on
out here, but I think I'm getting better. Like yesterday for example,
there was a 14 year old kid that veered out of his way to come and elbow
me right in the chest. Although comments to throw at him came to my
mind, there always seems to be something holding my tongue back nowadays
:p Instead, I just continued to walk forward.
Well, in terms of Skype, It will probably be this Christmas evening for you around 7-9 pm :) I'm excited to see you all!
So
big transfer call on Sunday. I will be moving over to the other
Vanadzor area and I will be companions with Elder Harrington. Along with
that, I will be Zone Leader, split with Elder Hall who will be training
in Vanadzor. I will also be group leader for the Alaverdi group up
there. That means I go up there every month or so and conduct a
sacrament meeting for that area :) So fun stuff!
I
had to head down to Yerevan on Saturday for a check up at the hospital
and I'm going back for the results today, but it looks like everything
should be alright. It's kind of fun to watch the snow slowly melt as we
headed South.
One
of our investigators is doing really well. He's been an investigator
for a while now, but he's making some really great progress. His main
obstacle has been the word of wisdom, but slowly we're weaning him off
cigarettes. It seems to be doing pretty well. He has amazing faith and
he loves us a ton. His sister is going to be moving to LA for job
opportunities, so that should be pretty cool.
He also has a crazy kitty that
runs all over me, especially because I'm wearing my thick winter jacket
which is perfect for claws to snag on to. :p
It
is super cold now, all at once. We had our first sticking snow this
week :D So I've had a ton of fun sliding around everywhere. :)
Well, that's all for this week. Sorry it's rushed again. We have to bounce down to Yerevan.
Love you all!
