Another week, another spiritual dollar!

Not much to update on this week! Things are going great in Pechersky!

We have a new investigator named Kcenya. She is a referral from a member. She is going through a lot of hard things at the moment and has been confused why the Lord gives us these trials. We had an amazing lesson with her about the Atonement of Jesus Christ. She was amazed and was so open to baptism! We all knelt to pray at the end of the lesson and she wanted to pray. It was an amazing prayer and we were all in tears by the end! 

It is amazing the people the Lord puts in our path. This week I challenge all of you to think of someone (anyone!) who you could share the gospel with, and DO IT! Member missionary work is the BEST missionary work so get on it! 

Love you all and hope you have a great week! 

Love,

This is it... 18 months later and I am coming home this week. I can't believe how fast the last year and a half have flown by but looking back, there has been so much change, growth, and learning I have experienced in this short time.  This week we went out with a bang. Faith was baptized and confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints! Her baptism was a special day and many people came to support her. She was baptized by a member of our ward who's family was involved in the finding and teaching process, it was such a cool experience! She got a new wave though so she had to put a plastic bag over her hair when she was baptized and we were dying! After the baptism a bunch of us went out for burgers and then I had my closing interview that night. So bittersweet! We also had a thanksgiving dinner this week where we ate lots of food, celebrated a Ukrainian/Hungarian wedding, and bore our closing testimonies. What a week.  It has been a huge bless...

Я люблю Украину ❤

Woahhhh man this week has been a busy one but it has sure been a blast. I just got to my new area and me and my companion, sister innes, are loving it! My new area is a ward in Kiev right by where I served in Kiev a while ago. This whole week honestly every other word out of my mouth is "I LOVE UKRAINE!!" I seriously loved moldova too but for some reason Ukraine just feels like home to me. And I love these people soooooo much (even though they hate talking to us and reject us a ton). I'm so happy to be back in kiev for the next couple transfers!  So on Wednesday I woke up  at 4 am  and flew out here and man I was so exhausted because my comp and I just came back and taught lessons and did a ton of planning. The next day we also had a ton of meetings with the zone leaders to plan our zone activity for Monday and zone conference for tuesday! Everything is coming right at the beginning of the transfer. Contacting here is definitely different than in moldova, I forg...

First Women Witnesses Ever!

Jk! I have no idea if that is actually true but literally a couple days after the announcement a woman in our ward called and asked us to be the witnesses at her son's baptism! It was actually super special because she is someone I have known throughout my mission! My parents were in her ward when they were first married and living in England and when I got my call to Ukraine they immediately connected through Facebook and now I am serving in her ward! We went to family home evening at their house on Monday and were really excited to find out that their 8 year old son would be baptized on Saturday. Little did we know that we would actually be able to be the witnesses! It was so cool, I love modern revelation. Other than making history, this week was crazy as usual. On Tuesday we had MLC for all the leadership in the mission at the Kumfermans' house which is always the best when we get to be there. We also went to the Temple and did baptisms with our recent convert Natash...
