Hello Everyone!
This week really flew by and it was kinda just a regular old
week. I don't really have much to talk about except we taught վահե (Vahe) again
and it was a great lesson. We didn't go in with memorized phrases so it was
good practice trying to teach with what we knew and we taught him about the
Book of Mormon as well as how to pray.
We also had our first TRC this week.
That is where we teach members and try to find their needs and teach them what
they need to know. That didn't go as well because we don't really speak
Armenian and they actually do. We would ask, "How are you?" and the
answers we got were like "sadlkgoiweajgl;akxdgljaoirjgtaojgl;aj" so
basically we just decided we would pretend we understood and keep asking
questions and then we jsut shared testimony on the importance of prayer and
reading the Book of Mormon. I think one of the people said he liked swimming
and that's about all I got.
As you can see, week 3 is proving to be very
exciting and we are pretty much fluent in Armenian by now so yeah. Also I don't
think I mentioned this before but one of the sisters in my district learning
Armenian is from and Armenian family in California. She doesn't speak it (yet)
but her family does and so I might get to see them! That is pretty cool.
Our
classroom also split into two because it was too crowded so now the prison cell
with cinder block walls and no windows is much more roomy. Luckily things are
still going well here and it is a lot of fun to struggle and it is easy to
remain positive. Also for those of you who know Braden Bringhurst, he is going
to be in my zone next week because the old Germans are leaving and he is one of
the new ones. That is exciting! Well, I don't really have much else to talk
about so have a great week!
