Elder Wright's Address!

President Nechiporov asked that I email you and ask that you alert all those who are sending mail and packages to you (except pouch mail), to be sure they are using the mission office address and not the mission home address.  When a package is sent to the mission home, President or Sister Nechiporov have to go to a different post office to pick the package up.  This is a great inconvenience for them.  President said if you want to get your packages and letters please make sure they are addressed properly!


This is the correct address:

Russia Rostov Mission

Bolshaya Sadovaya 39/4

344082

Rostov-na-Donu, Russia

Thank you for help!

Sister Jeppson

Well shoot its the 13th of june! wow holy smokes.

well dang! This week flew by it seems like yesterday i was just writing you and talking to you about the week before. oh well, anyways howdy do and a bottle of rum. So this week was alot better! We had splits with Elder Nancollas and we did some damage together haha like always. we kicked butt. And elder tropnikov succesfuly ate ate three members houses without getting sick or getting...... ya you know hwat i was going to say haha. so ya and this week we did service for a old dude in our branch that doesnt come to church cause his mom is almost dead and he takes care of her. His name is victor and i sent you a pic with me and him last week. wow i sound like a hick. Anyways i was up about thirty feet painting steel pipe that holds up his grape vines. holy smokes he has alot of grapes. well soon to be grapes haha. but ya we didnt finish so were going again this week. Oh and the highlight of the week was we finally recieved the general conference liahonas!! haha its so good. And im pretty sure our prophet is a stud. Well this week we rocked it with member lessons. and we met with a bunch of less active members too. MY favorite less active so far is the tamazyan family. they are Armenian. They are the bomb and they fed us tacos. And it was way good. we had fun talking to them, and they remind me of our family cause of how tight they are together. They all just laugh and tell funny stories. i love it. it made me miss all of you uglies. haha. ya but they have been having trouble with the branch president i guess. they dont get along at all. So ya its tough. THis branch president seems to offend alot of members. Terd. ya anyways. oh ya so two days ago i ate another weird food. In Russian its сала. Which is salted frozen pig fat! it looked so nasty but alas since im the american everyone seems to find it funny to make me eat the funny stuff. but it was actually pretty dang good. weird huh. my companion says people eat it like we eat penut buttter. nasy huh?! ya i thought so but i only had one piece and it was alright hahah. funny. ya so today we are going to presidents house for a p day activity cause some of the elders are going home this transfer. it makes me sad cause they are some of my best buds. they are crazy haha. yup so other than that everything is getting better. the members are warming up. the sun has cooled down :) it has been over cast all week!!!! ah yeah. my dream. and the people on the street ....... well they are them and they dont like me hahaha. crazy Russians. yup but oh well. So it was good to here from you. have a good week. Tell Todd and his fam hi for me!!!

 

 

From Russia with love . bhahahah

 

Elder Big D

Happy Birthday Sam!!! What a goof! well its his birthday tomorrow hahhaa. love you bro.

 

well shoot another week come and gone. And im still in Russia. hahah. nothing too exciting to tell you just the same old stuff. but something cool did happen . It was way hot it was around 90 degrees and we were on the street trying to contact people and i started to pray for some clouds . and guess what. five minutes later couds came  and it sprinkled a bit. hahha. it was tight! so the lord takes care of his missionaries. hahah. i was pretty stoked. so ya other than that we have zone conf again it seems like it was just last week we had the last one. weird. oh well so what else should i tell you. well im feeling better. i didnt feel to hot this morning. but hopefully this crap will go away by this afternoon. oh i do have another way funny thing to tell you. its about my 6 year old girlfriend in my branch haha. well yesterday during primary i guess they were talking about things that they were thankful for and she told her mom that she was thankful for me cause when she gets old enough she is going to marry me. hahaha and then she wrote on the black board a picture of her sleeping. and me in her dreams. ahhaha and she put the heading on it " good dreams about wright" bahahah i about died especially when her mom came and told me to come look. im just glad that her parents think its funny. hahhaa. so ya that was funny and she draws me pictures every sunday. she is a cute little stink. makes me miss ella. so ya that was pretty much the funny stuff.

 

Rostov is still alive and kicking. im right along with it. hopefully this week picks up. we did meet with a couple dudes from off the street and we have had seperate meetings again with both of them. one of them is a fisherman. he is tight his name is sergey. and he said he is taking us fishing one of these days haha. he is pretty tight. he said that he will read the bom and that he will meet with us regularly but he isnt promising anything. but hey all we need is a little hole in the fence to get in . so ya hopefully that goes well. we need to get investigators. we are sitting at a whole wopin 0. and it sucks . so ya were working hard trying to find some more people. but all in all this week was a good week.

 

so thanks for all the emails everyone!!! i love reading them every week. they keep me sane hahah. everyone go boating for me. and tell sam to start pumping iron so he can tell more muscle jokes hahah. what a goof ball. i think we should write a sam one liner book. hahah. so funny. tell everyone hi for me.

well shoot how are you guys! Im not to bad. Im glad that robin actually gradutated. now she can say. Howdyy yall me Robin and ima uinter high graduuate. bahahha. im glad she got through high school without killing anyone. haha. So shoot this week was crazy and oops ya i did send you the wrong pics. my bad. ill fix that next week. sorry. but ya this week was alright. i got a sun burn. and the temp has been pretty stinking hot. just like the next 4 months are going to be..HOT! But this week was pretty slow. we called alot of people and no one could meet with us. but we did meet a couple dude on the street and we got one to come to church and the others we got phone numbers and they said we could meet with them. hopefully we do cause when we are not teaching time moves so stinkin sloooooow!!!! not cool. But ya thats how it is in the hardest mission in Russia. I have been talking to the office elders and they said statistically this is the hardest mission in russia. i dont know about the world but here in russia it is. pretty stinking hard. but i got the jingelies and i feel a elder wright baptisim coming on. hahha ill keep my fingers crossed. But this week was alright. tuesday i was sick. my stomach was killing me so sister nicheprov has been stuffing me full of drugs. enough to make me feel like a drug addict. But now im feeling better and i have been stuck to a strict chicken and rice diet without any flavourings. ya it sucks. so ya so its beenrough but im feeling better at least. so it sounds like everyone is having fun and no one is dead. thats a very good thing . oh ya funny story so there is this little girl in our branch and she is six years old and she is pretty much in love with me. hahah i walked into a teaching room in the church and she drew me and her getting married on the chalk board hahaha. i laughed so hard. until her dad saw it. but then he laughed so it was pretty funny. then yesterday i taught primary about the priesthood. it went fine. not to bad. i felt alot better about my russian when i was talking to the 4 and 6 year olds hahhaha. it was great. but after my little lesson sasha the six yr old girl told me that she wants me to baptise her. i told her i wouldnt be here anymore and i would be in utah. and she said " so you have to come back and do it anyways." ahahha it was hilarious. so funny. But ya then one of our potentioal investigators came to the end of church then we had a lesson with him about the restoration. it was alright. he was in a hurry to meet someone. so hopefully next week is better. But all in all this week was fine. time is flying by and im having fun when im not getting sun burnt. hahah. weeeelll i love you all. have fun. take chances. live life.

 

love elder Big D

sup!!!!‏

well shoot where do i begin!!!! well i guess i can start with whats up home dawgs haha.

 

 well this week was kinda sweet and sucked at the same time. i had the best day i have had on a mission and then i have also had the worst day of the mission so far. it was pretty crazy. Well lets start with the bad then we can end on the good haha :) well shoot i guesst the bad couple days have just been slow. its raining here and no one will talk to you on the street and no one will open doors for you. but thats normal. its just that the people have been cussing and swearing at me. and it makes me really mad cause i dont take stuff like that well. I even got flipped off by a mentally challenged person.!!!!!????? how does that happen!!! haha but then i walked off and kinda thought about it and its kinda really funny haha. but ya that was that and just the days have been going way slow when no one talks to you and it doesnt help when your walking in mud and muck and getting rained on. so pretty much my bad days have been like ones in the movies haha. But i also had two rockin days!! We walked out side firsht thing in the morning and we got like five numbers !! I have only recieved four numbers this whole transfer and we got five in one mornign. holy smokes. it was nuts then we actually had two lessons from knocking in the poor parts of town. the peopple were really nice and they liked hearing what we had to say. so we will be calling them back soon. But ya then the next day was pretty much the same story. so ya those days were awesome and they flew by!!! so i hope the rest of my mission goes like that. but ya everything has been going well. i made bourshe soup yesterday with my comp. it was way good!! ill have to tell you the ingredients so you guys can make it.

 

 

here you go

 

you guys better make this because i had to almost break an babushkas leg to get it hahah jk

 

alright you need these items.

 

 

one medium sized cabbage

two beets

two carrots

five good potatoes.

chicken

beef

two onions

Dill

parsley

salt and pepper. add for taste

 

in a frying pan cook ground beef and get it cooked . then cut up onions and fry till lightly browned. the trick is to use tons of oil, then grade the carrots and throw them in with the onions let them fry for a bit till soft. then throw in as much dill and parsley as you want. go by taste.

 

in a big pot start boiling watter. after boiling throw potatoes in. they should be diced into 1 by 1 cubes. smaller is better. and let the potatoes cook till almost finished then put chicken in also diced to the same dimentions. after chicken is finished cut up your cabbage and put it in the pot to boil and throw in all the other stuff from the frying pan . put the grease in there too!!! then grade the red beats and throw them in there and thats what makes it all go red. after finished serve hot and put sour cream in your personal bowl and eat with bread and there you go. thats the babushies way to do it haha. just go by taste. 

 

haha but shoot i hope you like it. but ya thats i hope everyones week was good mine was mixed but all in all it was way good. we have lots of numbers to call .... well at least a couple and i have been having fun out here. its all rainy and cloudy but it will all clean up and be sunny in a couple days. thanks for alll the emails ilove them. they help lift me up every week. especially a week like this one.

 

love you guys
