This is Sister Harris reporting to you live after a week of Russian Realty. Yes. As in the thing where people sell houses and there is a realtor and all of that jazz. This week we discovered our home had mold. And we set out on a quest to find a new apartment. And we found one and moved. And all of this happened in three days while we were still doing missionary work. The life of a missionary is off the heezy. But it was really cool because we did all the work and talked to the realtor and figured out everything by ourselves. Russian Language: 0 Sister Harris: 1. Just kidding. The Russian Language always wins over the Sister Harris. But it was still really cool because we saw the hand of the Lord so clearly through the whole process. We were able to find an apartment and move in such a short amount of time so that our missionary work can continue. Besides that we had a good week filled with lots of missionary work! We had some really good meetings with members this week. One of my favorite members is this Armenian girl who is 22 and her baby and her husband. I just love them so much. She's seriously one of my favorite people to visit because she always has so many questions. This week we introduced her to family history and talked about preparing for the temple with her. IT WAS SO COOL. I love talking about the temple because it's a place that's so dear to my heart. And the members get so excited about it. Pray for a temple to be built in Russia. I do. Because there are members here who want it and who deserve the blessings of the temple. I get blown away everyday that I have been so lucky to live so close to a temple, multiple temples even. We weren't able to meet with our new investigators this week but one of them called us and told us her sister is in the hospital and that when she gets out they would both like to meet with us. This same investigator also has a granddaughter who wants to meet with us. She's already giving us referrals and we've only met with her once. So golden. We also had another really cool miracle this week. When Sister Grover first got here we were in the elevator and this girl was like, " I know you." Which number one, never happens. Apparently I had contacted her a few months ago. And it turns out that she lives in our building. So we decided that we were going to make cookies and take them to her and see if she wanted to come to our game night with us. And it was a success! Except for a few hours before she called us and said she couldn't come but that her friends wanted to come. So instead her two brothers came and were able to meet the Elders and become friends with them. Missionary work will always move forward because it is the work of the Lord, it will always move forward even if it is in ways we don't expect. I'm so happy to be a missionary. This is the work of angels and I'm so blessed for the part I get to play in this. I love you all! Love, Sister Harris
