Cow liver and heart... Not yummy


This week was a little different than the other weeks that I have been here. So first of all it has been raining everyday this week and has been raining for like 2 weeks now. I think that it is about to slow up now, but you never know here in Vanedzor. This week was a little different than the rest because we got to go to Yerevan for Friday and Saturday and we had an auditor come to Vanedzor on Thursday. So I felt kind of bad because that was like three days where we didn't  get to very much missionary work, but all of those things needed to be done. While in Yerevan it was cool because I got to see all of my the missionaries that came in with me and see how they were doing. It kind of a reasurred me that they were having the same struggles that I was with the language. I just need to keep reminding myself that I have only been here for 2 weeks and it will come in time. I saw them because I we all have to get residence cards basically visa stuff. Then I got to go on splits because I was going to need to be back there for priesthood training the next day. Being with someone new helped me a lot. I think because I didn't think of him as someone above me like I do with my trainer. I was contirubuting a lot more and I really loved it. 

As in terms of my investigators we had two come to church this week. They are doing good. One of them is going back to Russia for a little bit and we are going to have to wait for him to come back so that he can get baptized because he want us to do it. He is ready and can be baptized but we just have to wait for him to come back. Our other investigator is doing really well. It has been 2 days since he has stopped smoking and is doing good on that. Other than smoking he is ready. So the work here is moving forward just need to stick close with them so that we can bring the spirit into their lives. 

This week while on my splits, I grew a bunch. I realized that I could say more than I thought. So that's how I grew the most this week. I am going to start saying more in lessons. Even though it is heard to understand. If I feel it is right to say then I just need to say it. 

Keep reading everyday and saying your prayers. God will always answer your prayers, just sometimes it isnt in the time that we want it, but he will always answer.

Ps stay away from cow liver and cow heart. I ate that this week and it was nasty. Did not agree with my stomach at all and I was throwing up last night, but dont worry I am fine and it's gone now. That picture was the cow liver and heart. Oh and one of my members named S wanted to say hello to you mom. He is amazing and the strongest member and always will go on visits
with us.
