Sister Emily Daines

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...

Sooo this week we got transfers!!! After 6 months in Chisinau im headed back to kiev to serve as a Sister Training Leader there. Im really excited to see familiar faces and to go back to kiev!!! Im sad to leave all the people here in Chisinau though, it has been a good 6 months here filled with countless miracles and life lessons. Im going to miss moldova and all my moldovan friends! This week was actually pretty crazy just because it was also zone conference and interviews down here in Moldova so President Kumferman was here for most of the week. Wednesday we had interviews and lets just say that President Kumferman is notorious for long interviews haha. Sister Kumferman usually keeps him somewhat on track but she wasnt travelling with him this time so our interviews were a little long hahahhaha. Sister Thompson and just had so many questions for him and we were his last interviews of the day so we were spoiled with a little extra time with president kumferman (i wont specify how...

This week had us laughing (sometimes cuz it was hilarious but sometimes because that was all we could do) and it was great to remember that small hiccups dont affect our salvation! (Unless you are my dad because he said that being dumb definitely affects my salvation) So if you missed my last email our phone was stolen last pday and so we lost pictures and contacts and were without a phone for a minute until we convinced the zone leaders to give us one of theirs because we need one phone more than they need two hahah. Thanks elders! So that was a minor setback haha but all we could do was just laugh about it. Then everything else kind of followed suit this week. I had to fly up AGAIN to Kyiv for registration and guess who forgot the document that was needed at the registration appointment, ME! HAHA. It was stressful for a solid 20 min when I thought I would have to finish my mission in Moldova but the Lord can make miracles happen and they allowed me to update my visa and to just s...
