Nikolay, the Russian

Today I randomly met a kid named Nikolay, from Russia. He just walked right up to Brooke and me after Institute and started talking to us. He had an accent, so I inquired and pretty soon he was speaking Russian! He's lived here for 11 years (he was adopted), told us about borscht, where he lived, and then asked if we had boyfriends. hahaha You could say my life is pretty great.

In other news, my good friend Elder Fennemore went to the MTC today. He's going to...yup, Russia. He should be departing from his family and entering the MTC right about now, actually. Miserable joy, I tell you. Miserable joy. He'll bless that country more than they know with his goodness and incredible testimony. He's basically going to be the most amazing missionary ever and the people will just love him. I know it. Good luck out there, Elder Fennemore! See you in two!
