  Hello Family and Friends and everyone in between! This is Elder Halls coming in from the center of the city, Dnepr in the wonderful country of Ukraine! Coming live from a dirty, dark basement where there are also computers and the smell of burning incense. It's a beautiful monday not too cold but no where near warm. This week has been a blessing!! It's been chalked full of miracles and blessings from the Lord! I'll give you all the quick run down of the week and then head straight to some of the miracles.

Hello hello everyone!! This week was really one of my most favorites so far on my mission we saw so much success and that just brought so much joy and it was really just super amazing I'll dive right in and tell you all why it was so great! Monday! P-day we went to a building where we could look out and see like all of Dnepr and that was suuuppperrr cool!! I really like that!

Hello everyone!! I'm doing well here in Ukraine we actually had quite a wonderful week this past week which was soo soo great! I'm really just feeling super great and happy which is usually the case but I think when you add success in the work to being a missionary you are just at a whole new level of happiness!! Alright let's dive into the week!! Monday was good as always sent emails, ate some food at the mall and then did some shopping! Haha nothing too exciting! Tuesday was a really good day! We had zone conference and it was such a great zone conference! We learned so much about things that we haven't been doing as great as we can and that we can really lengthen our stride in and that was huge! I always have loved as a missionary knowing things that I can do and work on in order to improve and this week I realized that I have a bunch of things that I can focus better on and as I have began doing those things I've already see it translate into great succe

Привет всем!!! Это я Старейшина Халлс все хорошо у меня! Another week is here in the books in Dnepr, Ukraine, we are all doing good the ice is melting off of the ground and it's getting warmer which I am very excited about! However I still think that it is just the weather deceiving us and it's about to get even colder than I thought was possible... But there is always hope maybe winter is on the outs early this year in Ukriane! посмотрим!  This week has been pretty good for me!! I felt like I've had so many great experiences and learned a lot as well!! I think I'll just go right in! Tuesday we have this weekly things where we go over to this members house and help here grandson out with some English help and then we also do a lesson! Her grandson and her son are not members but they come to church sometimes! this week was our third week there but it was the first time that Zhenya stayed and listened to our lesson which was really exciting! We are super grat
