Sloth Ice Cream‏

Zdrastvuitye!

Every day is an interesting experience, but this week was slightly less eventful than usual. Still great nonetheless!

More knocking adventures!! Every single time Sister Jensen and I go knocking, we have lots of crazy experiences. At the very first door we knocked a couple of nights ago, we got yelled at by a lady and had to move on to another floor. At the second door, an even angrier lady answered and immediately escorted us to the elevator after lecturing us about how we weren't allowed to be there without a "code"... whatever that means. The next building we went to was full of nice people, but none of them were interested in meeting with us. It happens.

This week Sister Jensen and I were bound and determined to get an investigator to sacrament meeting. No one in our District has had an investigator in sacrament meeting in SO LONG. We prayed and fasted and searched and asked and scrounged and dug and climbed... with no promising prospects. Randomly in the middle of the week I remembered the name of a former that has been taught a few times and I gave her a call. She was elated to meet with us and we had the best lesson ever with her. She accepted all of our commitments and came to church on Sunday! Her husband isn't a fan of the church, but that's been the only roadblock with her thus far. I have faith that everything will work out and she will get baptized!

Hazelnut flavored everything! I have no idea why, but Russians are obsessed with hazelnut. They sell Snickers here that have hazelnuts instead of peanuts (actually really good), a ton of their chocolate has hazelnut in it, and a lot of their pastries have hazelnuts and chocolate in them. Somebody somewhere decided that hazelnut flavored ice cream was a good idea, and let me tell you... it's not:) One of the Elders in my district bought a tube (yes, a tube) of ice cream that had a picture of Sid the sloth on it. Once everyone tried the ice cream, we all decided that it was sloth flavored. It literally tasted like plastic bag with a hint of parmesan cheese... which I guess is what we decided a sloth tastes like. The texture was kind of like eating yogurt with dirt in it. Nasty! 

Welp... that's all for this week! Don't eat animal flavored ice cream or get lectured by cranky ladies!

Do Svidanya!

Love,

Sister Megan Wagstaff
