I'd like to start this weeks email out with a few lines written by everyone's favorite recent convert Anton: Church is True    Book is blue Goin' through   Nephi Two Fruit is Cool    Bring me groove Proverb in tool Baptism pool Our way isn't crooked  We are so cute To became ABSOLUTE Anton was baptized the week before I got in Dnipro he's awesome! This week he passed the Sacrament! So there's a little side note of success. Here's just some stats on the week: Zone Conferences: 2 Exchanges: 2 Other meetings: 1 Kilometers walked: 60.4 Shawarmas: 1 Ice Creams: 6 Now that you know a little but more about how my week went already let's get into some of the other details ;) Pday  We had a super busy Preparation day this week we were getting everything ready and prepared for Zone Conference so that we would be able to, come Tuesday just stroll right on in and feel the spirit right away. So we were scrambling

Week 51: Let's all eat a little more properly

And thus it came to pass... That another week did pass in the land of Dnipro under the reign of Elder Halls and Elder Rasmussen. And they did take their possessions and traveled to the land of Kharkov and did meet together with their brethren.  And Elder Halls did part ways for a season with his beloved companion and went about the land with Elder McCoard, and together watched over all their brethren who did dwell in the land. And thus it came to pass that they labored with their might, and upon return were joined once again with their companions and they did travel once again to the land of Dnipro. Anywayyysss this was a really good week! Super busy too! Which is the best kind of week that's for sure!  Knowing that we would only have 1 and a half days in our are this week we got working super hard on Monday and Tuesday and we saw a lot of amazing little miracles! We were able to meet with those we are teaching and find even some new people before we left Wednesday

Week 50: Blessings Pouring Down

Alright Everyone it looks like another one of them weeks has rolled around. The time goes waayyyyy to fast. Especially when you're super busy! This week we didn't have as much meetings as normal we were free to do just a ton of missionary work so that's what we did!! I don't think I've worked so hard/effectively my whole mission! It amazing all the miracles and blessings that we see as we just give it our all in the work! I have a testimony that the Lord is so ready to bless us we just need to fulfill our part! May we all choose to do our part of what the Lord asks of us. Exchanges One of our responsibilities as Assistants is to do just an absurd amount of exchanges in one transfer and this week we had 2. The good news is that exchanges are absolutely awesome! It's an opportunity to serve with another missionary and just spend the day learning from each other and then by the end you've just got this list of things your can do and work on

Week 49: DniproTown

Hello everyone!! I cant remember what I did and didn't say last week so I'll just try and talk about a bunch this week so that you all feel up to speed! Haha let's do it! Meetings Meetings Meetings Meetings... we had a bunch of those this week! A couple times me and Elder Rasmussen talk about how sometimes we're looking through the windows just wanting to be out there on the street teaching contacting and всё такие. Which is our joke, because the meetings are all still super good and spiritual and this week was no different. We had our weekly meeting with President Wirthlin. We trained those who will be training had new missionary orientation. Then new leaders meeting then Mission Leadership council. it was definitely a crazy first week! Baptism by fire like we say! Right into the thick of it! But it was actually really good! Learned so much and enjoyed being with all these different missionaries! So most of our time this week was in different meetings!  Golde
