Translating and Teaching

there is two options you could do for the card, either send it in a package quickly to Ukraine and hide it inbetween pictures or something, or call the MTC and send it to them telling them to send it with the next missionaries that are coming out here however that will not be until Nov.. so... I dont know. yeah I have called them here, the only conflicting thing is the time zones! there giving me the run around but I have one number I'm going to be trying today with president on a conference call tonight at around 7 so yeah. hope its the right one cause it is alot of money to call out.  well this last sunday we had one of our senior couples come to our city and see how its doing, they only know english so it was my privlage to translate... and he did NOT make it easy in his talk. we are told that the translators for converence rate the speakers 1-7 in diffuculty and President Holland seems to always be one of the most difficult. lol funny example I could just see as Elder Maxwell once said "we need to protect ourelves with a coat of spiritual tephlar" and I can see the translator just sitting back there screaming "WHY?!!!". this week I accidently ate fish, we didn't realize it until we chomped into it, not a smart move. the church has a rule against it saying that the fish is not healthy here .. soo yeah woops. it was at one ofour referrals givin to us by a member, however we need to talk with that member and tell her the next time she gives us one she needs to make sure a few thigs are done first. when we walked in the house it was filled with smoke, alcohol on the counter (not uncommon) and a pornographic welcome poster as soon as you walk in. NOOOOT the best enviorment to teach in. but it went REALLY well after a while.oh hey mom I have a song for you to look up its called "just a heartbeat away" by Jenny Jordan Frogley. good song. so guess what I have decided I want to learn a few new insturments when I get home! I have been playing the piano here and I'm getting better at it, but I want to embrace our heritage and learn how to play the bagpipes and the penny whistle! kind of a random note but hey..last week we were in the gem of Ukraine! Leviv, really pretty city and unfortunantly I forgot my camera so I cant exactly send pictures but next time. really pretty city, and then 7 hours later back in good ole zhitomyr. I am starting to wonder what will be happening next transfer, I'm coming up on 6 months in this city and if I dont get transfered I will REALLy be wondering what will be going on the following. sorry mom I'm having ahard time typing I hve got to type taleya reall quick. I'll also type to dad and you can read that one aswell.. stay strong mom, prayerful and keep on keeping those commandments!  Love you
