Everyday Life

Everyday life kinda things… Statues and monuments are everywhere, in parks, at schools, churches, small, big, huge, busts, bellys…   Military equipment, two of the sister volunteers live near an anti-aircraft monument. They have very old, very cool, sidewalks, streets, floors. Shoes are always removed when you enter a home, sometimes they even loan you a pair of ‘community’ slippers. Some of our Young Single Adult friends, that belong to those shoes. We host Family Home Evening once a month. From left to right, Olya, Maxim, Miroslav, Katjia, Alyonna, and Anya. These young adults are so important to the growth of the gospel here. We love them!!! Flowers and Wallpaper, both are everywhere. Dad buys me flowers every week except for when he forgets and then I buy them for myself. Street florists Marina and Nastia (no pic) have become my friends as I show them my rubles and point to flowers and they let m...

Letter to an MTC Friend

If I would have had to answer your question of ‘settling in’ two weeks ago, I would not know how to answer honestly. Now, on our third (Friday will be four) week here, we are doing great!   I think jet lag affected me more than just sleep patterns. I was struggling to know not only why I was here, but why do I feel that way? One morning I was having a really tough time, I knelt down to pray again for help and strength, and Father answered my prayer so powerfully, as I heard, “Fear not, I am with thee, oh be not dismayed, For I am thy God and will still give thee aid.” They hymn caught hold and I continued, "I’ll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand, uphill by my righteous omnipotent hand.” Of course He will, He promised me and is fulfilling His promise! That moment was life-changing!!!   So yes, we have settled in! Elder and Sister Hancock have been a HUGE help to us! Last week we were in Riga, Latvia, for a five day Seminary and Instit...

First Day..

Monday, Feb 6 : Up at 2am, left home at 3:15am, checked in at DFW for 6am flight. And we didn’t have to remove our shoes, love it when that happens! Arrived in SLC at 7:30ish. We had to walk a little ways to get our rental car (little Hyundai, no cruise).  Did you know that it is VERY hard and very comical to push 3 suitcases (each) through an airport, across a street, and down the sidewalk? And a bit embarrassing too.     We stopped at McDonalds (of course) for breakfast, no time for Kneaders. I was supposed to be putting on my makeup as we drove to the MTC, but we had one more tearful FaceTime with Sydney. We pulled into the MTC and they waited patiently for me to finish my call and make up.  And then we began our Exceedingly Awesome stay at the MTC!!! Man, they take such good care of you, it is really heaven on earth here, except for the MISSING FAMILY part!. But you, our family, are prayed for over and over again, every prayer. M...
