Здравствуйте
This week has been awesome(like every week)! We've had a bunch of different service opportunities
and activities this week, and it's been super fun! We went and helped out at a
local orphanage, and moved a ton of furniture up and down stairs, which was way
fun! The people there were all super nice, and seemed pretty appreciative of
all of the help that we gave. There were probably around 20 people there, including
all of us volunteers and the elders quorum in the Severny Rostov branch!
We've
also been stopping by a member in the branch that's paralyzed on the left side,
and has a hard time doing a lot of things. Her daughter usually helps out most
of the time, but she's on vacation this week, so we've just sort of taken her
place. We've picked up groceries for her, helped her prepare some food, clipped
her fingernails, and all kinds of other small things. Every time we would come
over, she just got the biggest grin on her face, and just showers us in
compliments telling us how great we were, and how much she appreciated us for
doing all these small things!
We also had a way fun game night with some
members and some non-members. We played the game "mafia", which was
ridiculously confusing for pretty much everyone involved. There were a few
students from Africa there that didn't speak the best Russian, so we had a few
translators at different places to help them along, but even then it was still
pretty rough. It was way fun though, everyone seemed to enjoy it! Then later in
the week we had an institute kick off for the new semester, and most of the
youth from the Rostov district were there. They served this drink(I can't
remember what it's called) but it was basically just hot, melted jello, it was
super tasty, but super weird at the same time. Other than that, not a whole lot
has happened this week! Hope all is well with everyone! Love ya!
Until
next time,
