"Well, there goes my future!"

Saturday we got the opportunity to go to the Kiev Temple to do baptisms for the dead! :)
It was so cool. The look of it reminded me a lot of what the Gilbert temple is starting to look like. (I'm so excited for the Gilbert temple!) yayayay.

Amber told me that one of her favorite parts of traveling was going to the temple in different countries because it just goes to show that the church is always the same, no matter where you are in the world. And it's so true! it was so neat to be on the other side of the world, but still feel the familiar peace that the temple brings.

After the temple, a few of us girls were waiting a while for some people to meet up with us so that we could go have a picnic (funny story about that to come!)
So while we were waiting, we were sitting on the grass in front of the temple.
The Russian culture is pretty weird. for example, the woman here DO NOT sit on the ground or on cold surfaces, because if they do, then their ovaries will freeze and they won't be able to bear children.
.................Hahahahahahahahahahahaahhahahahahaha!
Whenever you see girls sitting on the ground here, they always have a plastic bag, a blanket, SOMETHING underneath them so that they won't "damage their ovaries."
So while we were sitting around, A lady going into the temple sees us, and hurries over to start lecturing us in Russian. One of the head teachers told her that it was ok and after she left, we were joking around because of how concerned she was for us. They honestly think that because I'm sitting on some grass with nothing underneath me, that I won't be able to have children! haha I don't understand these people sometimes. But I guess she was just trying to look out for us!


I'm so lucky to be here!
More stories and pictures to come:)
