What a week! I have no idea what happened! haha. Everthing just blurs together. First of all, thank you to everyone for the letters and the updates and the packages. Thank you Trish! What a fantastic surprise!
So I guess I'll just take a few minutes to tell some random stuff, since I cannot for the life of me remember anything that happened this week. Oh - wait! Guess what? Something did happen: we got our Russian name tags!! With our names written in Cyrillic!! It is awesome! My name is now Старейшина Хэмп - how cool is that! Yep, that was definitely the highlight of this week.
Julie Moore - I was standing in line for breakfast the other day, and the Elders in front of me had name tags in a different language, and I like to ask people about their language, so I asked them, and do you know what they said? Danish!! So I told them I knew a Sister Moore coming in next week, and they said they leave this week so they wouldn't be able to tell you I said hi, but I asked what building their classroom is in and they said the third floor of 10M. I know that doesn't mean much to you now, but let me put it this way: my classroom is on the second floor of 10M!! Crazy!
Some random facts, let's see. One of my new favorite words is молния which means 'zipper' and/or 'lightning'. With the leadership change, Elder Bishop is now the District Leader. And with all the new missionaries, they form their own districts, so our district is still the same, and all the companionships are the same. The construction in the cafeteria is finally done. It is very nice. We haven't had another banana day, fortunately. There was talk of Apple day, but I talked them out of it. haha. We didn't get any mail on Memorial day. Russian is still the best language ever! Life is good and the Gospel is true!
Have a great week, everyone. I hope to hear from you soon. Send pictures! I love you all
