A series of posts.

I have many stories that I keep meaning to put up here. But I forget to.

So, if you want. Strap in, and read em. They might come in strings of little posts. 
Because it is Sunday, I'm going to have a little spiritual moment post right here.
1. The gospel is so true. If you need reasons, here are a few:
One day Miss Becky and I were walking to my apartment. It was about 9.
 Which, honestly, is not dark at all. We were going through the little alley to get to my house.

 And I just had this feeling: don't speak English.

 I said it to her [in russian, of course] and she nodded. As I was fumbling to find my key, the two men that had been speaking by my door were now fighting.

Or should I say one man was beating the other. With dogs. It was at this moment I grabbed Becky's hand [because I couldn't find my key--typical kylie] and we walked away from them.

Let's be real. Who knows. We probably wouldn't have been hurt if we were speaking English. But at least we didn't attract any attention. And I just am so grateful for the promptings of the spirit.

Church being real story #2:

I, kylie anne bills, gave a talk today. Yes. In russian. And I, kylie anne bills, cannot speak Russian. However, it was so neat to give a talk on how we have a personal relationship with God. I had prepared my talk well.

But I hardly looked at it. I was so overcome with the spirit. I could think clearly in Russian. And I was able to get my point across. Which was an amazing blessing. Because my sweet host was there. [maggie].

About the Church in Russia:
1. They all speak to you while you are giving a talk. "we understand you" or "mhmm, yes I agree"
2. When you start crying over the pulpit, it is natural for the woman in the very back to walk up and give you a napkin.
3. When a phone rings, it is completely natural to answer it in the middle of the lesson.
4. Expect arguments in Relief Society. Always.
5. They all have the biggest hearts.
