It's a new world

So this week has been pretty crazy. So much has happened. So I will start off with the plane trip. We started off going all the way to Amsterdam and it was definitely the longest I have ever flown. On the plane I meet this guy from Kuwait. Yeah it is the middle east, but don't be alarmed he is the nicest guy ever. I ended up talking to him and giving him a book of Mormon. He is a photographer and showed us some of his pictures. They are amazing. Then in Amsterdam and Russia nothing really important happened just chilling in the airport. Then we got to Armenia and meet our Mission President and his wife. They are so amazing I love them so much. We hung out there for a couple days and had to do interviews and such. While some were getting interviewed, the first counselor in the Mission presidency showed around Yerevan a little. I will attach some pictures of Yerevan. It was super cool seeing the old Architecture. Then I got put in my area the next day with my companion Elder Johnson. We are in Vanadzor and it is the third biggest city in Armenia. This place is pretty cool. people are always out side. Very different from home.

When I meet people here they all think that I am Chinese, but no worries. I can see why they think that. The important thing is that you can tell that they have a love for other people. The people here are amazing. 

So this week we have a few people we have been teaching. One got a baptismal date for next week, but just needs to stop smoking so that he can be baptized on that date. The other one is a little kid he is 9 years old and is trying to decide if he is going to be baptized. Its weird because his mom is a member. I know when I was 8 years old I did now question baptism. I just did it, but I think it is good that he is trying to figure it out for himself and only 9 years old. That is how we gain a testimony. He has said yes, but wants to study a little more. He should be baptized in 2 weeks if he goes through with it. 

The food here is pretty good. There is a lady in our ward that we call "mom" that made us food last night and is super nice. 

Yeah this week has been amazing. I didn't really understand a whole lot, but everyone here is amazing and I can tell that they love their Heavenly Father. Even though we had 67 people in our branch and 29 people in our group this week, they all love our Father in Heaven. It doesn't matter if there were only 10 people in church. This church is true and the work is moving forward. Always say your prayers and read the Book of Mormon- it is important. I love all of you.

This is Armenia. One of them is the Memorial for the Genocide. The one that looks like a circle and the other statue is mother Armenia.
