The Ecuadorians.

7/14/14

Hi. This has been the longest week of my entire life and I have zero idea why. But it's been so good. I have a new companion and we're doing good. We're already seeing so many miracles. We are loving life because of all of the miracles. Yesterday was such a good day. Number one, I just love Sundays so much. They're my favorite part of the week. I love being able to feel the Spirit with all of our members. I love being able to sing the hymns and partake of the Sacrament here in Russia. It's cool that it's the exact same all around the world. Same Church. Same Spirit. We had the best surprise ever yesterday. And it was this. Three people walked in at the end of the meeting and guess who it was? THE ECUADORIANS FROM LAST YEAR THAT I MET IN NIZHNY. The same ones. I freaked out. I made them take a picture with me and they probably thought I was just some crazy white girl. I love them so much. I think they are just so cool because they come to Church every week when they're in Russia even though they don't speak Russian or English very well. They come because it's where they should be on Sundays. Such a cool testimony to the truthfulness of the Gospel. We also had a homerun yesterday. Contact, lesson, and new investigator all in one. The coolest thing. We stopped this woman to talk to her and then she suggested we move to a bench, we got to know her, prayed with her, taught her about the Restoration, invited her to church, and set up a return appointment. It was fantastic. At the beginning of our lesson she said that sometimes she doesn't even want to live. At the end she said that she know wanted to live and that she was grateful she had met us. I LOVE MISSIONARY WORK. But really. It's the best thing that's ever happened to me. I love you all and hope you have the best week. Love, Sister Harris
