Miracles!!

Family and Friends-
Well I don't have very much time to write but this week was good. It has definitely warmed up which is a plus but now everything is ICED. I have never seen anything like it. Because it was warm yesterday and then the sun went down and went into the negatives everything is SLICK and completely covered in ice. My companion and I were walking downhill quickly to get to the bus stop yesterday and finally we just realized it would be a lot easier to just hold on to each other. It was pretty funny walking down the street grabbing each other's coats but we didn't fall, I guess that's what's important.
Friday night we didn't have any lessons which means we are on the street for 5 ½ hours straight! Woohoo! We actually had a really fun and great night dancing and hiking in the mountians. We also had a MIRACLE! We were up pretty high in our area and ran into a young girl. She was 19 and was very interested in the church. We were able to have a great conversation with her and get her number she also promised ot come to church and wants to do a Family Home Evening this week with some of the youth from our ward. She said that she has been looking for something that would give her the opportunity to know people who don't smoke or drink! So COOL! We were so excited to meet her and hope that everything works out this week. We also were able to meet a young mother who had been baptized about 15 years ago in the church and didn't know where the church was here in Russia. She wants her kids to grow up in the church because she knows how many blessings come from it and how the standards and teachings can really help in raising kids and so we were able to give the address for the branch building and our number. We really hope that she comes in the coming weeks and we are able to meet with her and help her family. We also had another MIRACLE! I have been talking to a lady on the phone for MONTHS and every Sunday she has something or just doesn't want to come or something else. On Sunday she came to church!!! My companion and I were both floored because we had been trying for so long to meet with her. The members were great in welcoming her and inviting her to come every week and she stayed for the whole 3 hours and really liked it. We were able to give her some Liahona's to read at home and will hopefully meet with her this week as well. Overall it was a great week and we saw a lot of miracles! It just shows that the Lord really does His missionaries and is completely and totally in charge of this work. It's all in His timing and up to His will.
Yes, unfortunately the Russian didn't win the gold medal and things have looked pretty bad for the USA. The Russians aren't very happy with us and the rumors are flying about how the judges were paid, etc. etc. Awesome. But that's okay. I hope they do well in Hockey and everything will be forgiven. The Russians love HOCKEY and it has been huge here so I really hope they do really well.
Tuesday we had an amazing Conference with President and Sister Bennett and it was very inspiring and uplifting. We talked a lot about just having FAITH to find, teach and baptize these beautiful Russian people. It is all up to our amount of faith, we can truly move mountains if we want to. So this week is an experiment in faith. If we exercise our faith, pray in faith and do our part then the Lord is bound to do his part. Miracles do happen! The church is true! Thanks for the love and support!
