Tere tere!! How are you all doing?!

 

This week we´ve done a lot of knocking! I don´t think I´ve ever looked as so many doors as I have the last two weeks! :P A few days ago two cold sisters coverd in snow were knocking on the doors, since the first snow of the winter now has reached Tartu! ..well most of it left again but that first night was cold and VERY snowy! Me and Õde Tholen were completely covered, we looked like "snow women"! :P Lots of people offered to let us in for a couple of minutes to warm up even though they weren´t very interested. So at least I know that the Estonians are very warm and friendly! ;)

 

A few nights ago we dropped by a less-active woman from the branch. She´s had a surgery fairly recently and she´s stuck at home. We decided to pay her a visit and so we did. Almost as soon as we were let in she asked if I could play the piano, I said "just a little!".  She made me sit down by her keyboard and play along to hymns that she played on the stereo, it didn´t go great since I only know how to play about 5 hymns and she didn´t pick any of those.. we ended up singing along instead. When we left we were all in a great mood! Music really brings the spirit and cheers up your day!! :)

 

Speaking of singing! Yesterday at church we brought an investigator with us. We were really excited that she had agreed to come along! We found her in the Area Book, she was taught about a year ago but never came along then, we we´re very excited when she accepted our invitation to come with us! :) ..Anyways so we were sitting in the sacrament meeting and the Branch President announces that today we don´t have anyone to play the piano, since the one sister who knows how to play wasn´t there, he announced that we would be singing along to a CD instead. So he started the CD but it played to slowly so he ended up turning it off, so we sang acapella, but the members here sing so quitly, that I could only hear myslef and Õde Tholen! :P ..Our investigator was sitting in between us, so she got a personal "concert" with harmonies and all! ;) Me and Õde Tholen practise singing in harmonies every morning when we do our companionship study, so all that pracising payed off yesterday! ;)

 

Have a great week!
