Week 67: Flood Number 2

    Yeah that's right everybody you read right. WE HAD A SECOND FLOOD. I'm honestly not even surprised anymore. It's okay. I guess this means God knows we can take it. Keep it comin! This time we weren't so fortunate to stop it before it got out of hand. It came like a thief in the night. 3 AM I wake up to our doorbell ringing and 28 missed phone calls from our "neighbor"- we were sure it was just another drunk stalker- well the one time we were wrong. That was a fun day with only 4 hours of sleep. Our floor is super warped now and the neighbors might hate us, might love us, we're not quite sure anymore. The poor woman is nine months pregnant and it was her birthday, so I completely understand if we aren't her favorite people after waking her up at 2:30 AM to water dripping in her face.
    I've just seen tooo much water this week. The weather is bipolar and it has poured on us too often. We showed up to a lesson soaked. It looked like we hopped in the shower with our clothes on and ran straight over. I had to run to the bathroom and ring out my hair so water didn't drip all over her floor. We also got caught in a heavy rain storm that literally came out of nowhere on the way to church, so we did a musical number for Mother's Day SOAKED. It's all good though.
    We actually saw an awesome miracle this week. A complete inactive member we've gone over to a few times called us Saturday night and asked what time church starts and ACTUALLY CAME!!! Good things are happening over here in Kharkivsky!
    I love you all so much and I hope you all have wonderful weeks. Keep up in the service of the Lord. We are all missionaries, whether or not we wear the black tag. It is each of our duty to share what we know to be true so that everyone has the opportunity to accept and act for themselves. Find ways to serve and share this week!

Week 66: Man on an Electric Unicycle with a Raccoon

    Well, this month has been quite the crazy little guy. Shortly, Satan has been working really hard on us, trying to discourage us and so forth, BUT IT AIN'T WORKIN. Literally, yesterday, I did not feel like talking to anyone but I remembered Elder Holland's talk "Open your mouth" and he said if you ever want to punch Satan in the face, open your mouth. I've never wanted to punch Satan harder so I opened my mouth on the bus just to spite him. Maybe the wrong intentions, but we got a good potential English student now. We've just decided that he's workin hard on us cause he doesn't like how hard we're working, so we're gonna work even harder. TAKE THAT.
    We are also so done contacting men cause they are just gross and the fact that I approached them somehow comes across as I would love to marry them or go to the bar with them... NO THANK YOU.
    I saw a man on an electric unicycle with a raccoon. so yeah that happened.
    I am so glad to be doing the work of the Lord and literally, this has been the happiest time of my life. Hands down. No matter how much rejection and opposition, nothing can top this. Best decision I have ever made.
    I've learned a lot about faith recently and I want to share two principles with y'all- doubt your doubts before you doubt your faith, and you will not find answers unless you're looking for them. It's ridiculous if we think that asking for the answer and then just waiting for it to show up is how it works. If you aren't 100% sure, act anyway. God won't let you make a serious mistake without warning you first or even blocking up the path you're going. God truly loves us and He wants us to learn and grow while we're here. If we didn't have trials or difficult situations we would never be stretched or improve. I love you all so much and I hope you all have amazing weeks and find a way to serve others and show Heavenly Father your love for Him.

Love,
Sister Vehar
