She understands some Russian!

Everybody!
Gosh, life is gonig by so fast it's crazy. Anyways, to start off, I want
 to thank you all! Your prayers for me to learn this russian language
is helping! This last week was miraculous in the fact that ALL OF A
SUDDEN I could understand most of what people are saying in lessons!
And in church! Its so crazy. Last monday after I emailed you all I
 went on a lesson and we walked out of it and I couldn't stop thinking
 about how crazy it was that I understood everything. SO I thought it
 was over but the next day it happened too! And then the next, and then
testimony meeting in church yesterday, I could understand basicaly
 everything. CRAZY!
 SO yes that is really evxciting. So yes, to answer the question, YES
 it is getting cold here. One night of contacting and being freezing I
went home and decided I needed to change some things so I wouldn't
 freeze. The ONLY thing I changed the next day was I put in this shoe
 liner in each shoe. Kinda like an extra layer in the shoe. That whole
 day I wasn't cold at all. Is that not insane? I added ONE tiny thing, a
 shoe liner, and I was warm. Now let's think about this. The details in
 life really do make a big deifference. We know in Alma 37:6 alma says
 it is "by small and simple things that great things are brought to
 pass". I want to testify to you today that it is true. when we meet
 with inactives out here the three qeustions we ask them is "do you
 read your scriptures everyday? do you pray? and do you go to church?".
 those three little things CHANGE EVERYTHING. I know when ppl do those
 things they stay on the path and they recieve the strnegth they need
 to carry on. they have the spirit and they have the joy of the gospel
 and makes them happy and makes them understsnd why we have
 commandments and that it's a joy to follow them. and tha'ts what I want
 each of you to think about. What is something so small, something
 almost insiginificant you can change in your life to be just a bit
 better? Just something small everyday. I know by the small things
 great things come to pass. I know it! And I know you all know it.
 continue to pray for me. I promise to pray for you. Email me, write
 me, aight??? haha. I'm happy and excited for this work. keep being
 awesome. SO will I ;) haha. Love sis T.
