Hey everyone! How is everyone doing and how is life? :)
This week has been really interesting... about a week and a half ago my leg started hurting a little big and started swelling up a little as well.. at first I just assumed it was because I had rolled my ankle and not really noticed it or something... But then after awhile I showed my comp and he didn't know what was going on with it and I showed the old couple here and they insisted we go to the doctor because it kept getting bigger and redder. So I went to the doctor yesterday and they don't know yet what is wrong. they made me get an x ray and have a blood test and now we are just waiting for the results to see what is wrong. Lol kind of interesting. :) So we will see..
Something else really interesting happened this week too... I don't know if I have explained this yet but when we have lessons we almost always meet our investigators at the church and we have our lessons there so we are usually at the church all day long with lessons. Well this past week as we were waiting for a lesson to come to the church someone came into the church and just sat down... it was wearing a big coat, a dress, and the shoes of a man... but it just sat there and put its head down so we couldn't see whether it was a man or a woman. We tried to talk to it but it didn't speak english or Russian and was talking in Kazak. Luckily we had an investigator there who speaks Kazak and he tried to figure out a few things. We figured out that it was a guy who had traveled from west Kazakhstan to Almaty to try and find work and he came here and lost everything. He came in the church to rest for thirty minutes. He didn't say why he was wearing a dress but my and I ran back to our apt. to try and get a few things like pants and socks for him but when we came back he was gone. So I really don't know what happened with him.. it was just a crazy experience though!
Our investigators are doing great :) This past sunday we committed one investigator to baptism! It was great and he is planning on being baptized on march 6th! I would write his name but honestly I don't know how in english.. lol but and then Nona is still progressing.. she refused to pray about the book of mormon to see if our church is true until she has read the whole thing but she reads 16 chapters a week so she is cruising and is already halfway through alma! Other than that we just have a lot of investigators whom we teach english and the piano lol.
The work is going great and the language is coming along slowly but surely lol I am trying to make sure I still grow spiritually as well as in the language and not just focus on one or the other and I think that will help me to be a more effective missionary! I miss and love you all! Remember who you are!
