Off the heezy.

2/09/14

Where to even begin. This week has legitimately been the longest week of my entire life. We started the week off strong by having to go to Moscow for some surprise interviews. So, our train left at 7:10 and the station is about 25-30 minutes away. We decided to take a taxi because we thought that would be fastest. BAD IDEA. Traffic. Forgot about the traffic. So, we leave at 6 and then before we know it, it's already 6:40 and we're still a good 30 minutes away. I lost it. Our taxi driver was so nice and he just kept saying that we didn't need to go to Moscow and that we could just stay here. He kept telling us to tell him a story. Then I suffered a mental break and started panic yelling about how we have to make this train and that we have to go to the metro because that will be fastest. He just laughed the whole time but finally took us to the metro. We walked into the metro doors and by walked I mean ran at 6:45. Then waited 8 minutes for the metro. And made our train. OH MY LANDS. I am still blown away. Serious miracle. So our district was in Moscow the next day and then we were all on a train heading back when we got a text that said, "Hello, English Group and the Police arrived. Checked everybody. :(" Yes. That happened. It was a crazy stressful beginning to the week. But everything is okay now. We were talking to President on the phone and he said that when good things start to happen that Satan gets all riled up, so the opposition our area is seeing is just a sign that good things are happening. Which was true. We had the most miraculous weekend ever. We had so many wonderful meetings and it all culminated yesterday when we had THE COOLEST LESSON EVER. We taught whole family yesterday. A whole family. We met the dad because he was one of our taxi drives. God uses your talents. I love taxis and am scared of the winter, therefore we meet with a lot of taxi drivers. But we taught him and his whole family yesterday. Our branch president and his wife were on the lesson with us. We found answers to their questions in the Book of Mormon. The dad legitimately said, "I found answers here tonight and we will meet again and I will find more answers." The feeling of meeting with a whole family is the coolest in the whole world. So much happiness and so much light. We met at the senior couple's house and they said that it was the first time a family had been taught there in the whole mission. The dad just called us actually and said he's started reading the Book of Mormon already and he loves it. MIRACLES UP IN HERE. Off the heezy. It's all off the heezy.  I love you all. Have the best of weeks! Love, Cectpa Harris
