There were many really cool things that we had happen this week! We had a really cool day on Saturday where we had 3 back to back lessons with members an exchange and than another lesson with someone we are teaching right now!  Saturday People  The first of these lessons was with Franklin, who was baptized about a year ago. Since I've been in Kharkiv I haven't ever been able to meet him. He's responded only a couple times to messages on Facebook and WhatsApp but most of the time attempts to connect had been unsuccessful. This week we were able to set up a meeting and it went very well! We got to know him and talked about our baptismal covenants and the Book of Mormon! The lessons went very well and Franklin agreed to join in the English church service the following day, which he did attend! So that was so cool! We were happy to see him! The following lesson was with Kurt who is a member from Peru living here in Kharkiv. His records aren't on the list and he d

This was a really great week! We saw some real promising progress from some of those whom we are teaching at the moment! I feel like I have also learned a lot as I've been studying and just having very many wonderful experiences this week! Мои маски So I have 2 маски if you haven't noticed by now one of them is blue and the other is white and every time I go outside I wear one маску of my маск. My blue-(ая) маска is light and fashionable and reminds me of the sky and is pretty breathable but not super effective if a crazy coughing man was gonna be attacking me. So most often I choose my durable white(ая) маска for the added protection factor. However not long ago the strings that keep её on my face broke and so I had to tie some new knots.  Честно я хотел написать о моих масках давно уже так, что надеюсь вас это интересует хотя бы немного.  Мої думки  One think I have thought about deeply is the blessing of humility! It's so important as a humble and ready

This week was so great!! I enjoy all of our many opportunities to gather together as a mission family! And this week we had a bunch!!))) I feel so much love as we are all gathered together and that love is really uplifting and supporting and it's a blessing to be able to learn from one another. Harvest Day This week we were able to find many people!! Our Harvest Day was such a miracle!! And I think it all started even before the day itself! As we were fasting on Sunday as a companionship we included in our fast a prayer that we would be able to schedule many appointments for Friday. And it was miraculous to see what happened as we began to call people! We were able to make many appointments and everything just seemed to fall into place really well. People were free exactly at the precise time we had an opening and we were able to pack our day full of lessons!!! I think the second miracle was the joy we felt as we were able to teach so many of this special message of the Rest

This week we're gonna save the best for last  So that means I'll start with the least important interesting things: We went running with our masks on, it was hard but not impossible ;) it gets tough when you really get tired.  I made some Оливье and it was really good! Not quite as good as the Оливье that Elder Stosich made on Thanksgiving though. So... you know... I kicked this weight we had lying on the floor.... twice. And kicked is the wrong word, but we'll leave it. (Also my philosophy about these types of things. I think we can either laugh or get mad. I choose to laugh. And then I see that Heavenly Father sends these moments when you slip and fall on ice or kick a weight or hit your head on the cupboard as just a moment when you need a little extra laughter in your day.) So I guess you could say I had 2 good laughs all in one day! ;) We did some remodeling and it's really nice let me tell ya! I'd send a picture but I didn't send one b
