May 18, '97

NOTE: I tried to write today's post (other than the 5 things I'm grateful for) entirely in Russian. Obviously, I made some serious (actually, pretty hilarious) mistakes, since I had only studied the language a few weeks... Rather than bore you with an attempt to transcribe the Russian Cyrillic, I'll just put the translation!

1) the Book of Mormon
2) the serenity of the temple grounds
3) the lovely weather today
4) my new opportunity to serve as coordinating sister with my companion
5) the example of Bro. Carver as a speaker
150 Sit ups, 25 push-ups

Today, I write in Russian. I have a goal to write one entry every week in Russian. I don't know many word, and I am bad with grammar, but I will write.

I want to write my thoughts about the gospel. I know that the Church is true; that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God, and the Book of Mormon is the word of God. I want to serve my Heavenly Father. I pray for help with the Russian language.

I think that it will be funny to read this entry in eighteen months... Will I understand what I wrote?

I know that God lives, and he loves me. I will return to God and live with him for eternity. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen. Sister Berry.
