Week 57  Transfer Calls...JK!

Well, we were supposed to get transfer calls yesterday, but I guess President is still praying...so you'll find out next week where I am and who I am with. Surprisingly, I don't want to leave this area. I've fallen in love with it and the members too.  I have some hopes to stay, but we will have to see. Tuesday we went to Rabati which was a fortress that was rebuilt by a group of Muslim people.  I can't remember the name. It was flippen' amazing! We almost had the entire thing to ourselves and it was so pretty. I felt like I was in a palace of sorts! It was very fun to be with all the missionaries too. We also stopped by Borjomi and drank from the famous spring there. The water is supposed to do something to you...heal you or maybe it's just good luck. I cant remember. A lot of sulfur is in it so...it doesn't taste very nice. We had exchanges this week and I was with Sister Gehring so that was fun. We met with "Em" and we had a very good meeting...but we found out she is only half acting. We talked again about the tripod and that praying, reading the scriptures, and going to church are all very important. The dog, Traci, calmed down and so the lesson was actually really good! I feel like nothing really too exciting happened this week. Normal finding...we had a lot of rejection this week sadly, but hey it ain't missionary work unless you get some of that. We went to two English groups this week. Our own and then the one in Rustavi. I have to say I have grown to love English group so much. It's really nice being able to serve people. Also the one in Rustavi a guy addressed me as the Georgian because he says I speak with no american accent! I now just need to get my vocabulary to where it's even more convincing! Sunday was pretty normal, chorister and I taught primary...although it was more like coloring and learning some hymns...talk about some crazy kids. Today we are with all the missionaries. It's sister Heydorn and Arutynovas last Pday and so we want to be all together. We are really such a family over here and I love it. Just hurts when one of us leaves.

Spiritual thought: To be honest I had a little bit of a down week and so Sunday morning I was not feeling it...but it's not like I can take a day off so I went to church and sucked it up. The first song that we sung was something I really needed. We sung I Know that My Redeemer Lives and oh man did that wash all the pain away. What a sweet sentence it is! He lives and because of that he does so much for us. The whole song talks about how because of the fact he lives we have someone there with us at all times. That song literally made my day and church made me so much more happier. That is something I have noticed on my mission, the moment I turn to him in my time of need I always feel instant peace and happiness. Yes, the circumstance does not change but I do.

Well that was the week, til next time!
