Week 17 Merry Christmas Everyone!!

This week is gonna have to be a little different email because I don't have tons of time to email because or P-day is on Christmas and we have a party with all the missionaries in Dnepr so it's not going to be a huge one but thought I would just share a few things from this week!

Had a super super awesome week! There were tons of great things that happened!! I literally have like no time to write about them though!

WE GOT ALEXANDER AND MARINA ON DATE so that was awesome somehow all is well with them again despite all the craziness the last little while we are excited about that we just need to get them to church! That is our main focus right now getting people to church!

I think we just found a new person to teach that I talked to on the marshrutka like 10 minutes ago super excited about him I'll write more about that on monday! His name is Kulia! 

I'm doing well one of the members gave me like 3 huge compliments on my Russian different days this week so that was huge for me! All is well here in Dnepr and it's feeling like Christmas center is all lighted up with lights everywhere it's super cool!! 

Love you all and hope all is going well! Merry Christmas I hope we remember our Savior at this special time!

Love,

Week 20 Winter Wonderland

Hello family and friends! I hope you all had a great week this past week wherever in the world you are right now! This week was really great for me! I'm learning so much and growing more and more into the work!  IT IS GETTING COLD!! Saturday I remember walking outside and I think I shed a little tear of sadness because I had thought we were on our way back to warmer weather but that is just not the case. I think it won't be warming up even just a little bit any time soon haha. This week it snowed sooo much. Pretty much everyday! It's hard to tell how much because when you are living in a city of 1 million people and everyone walks everywhere it just gets all compressed down on the sidewalk, then after that turns into ice. People fall all the time its funny but also sometimes really sad! Lets just say we've had a lot of opportunities recently to serve Dnepr's older folks :)  Another cool things with all the snow is that usually all the moms in the city take ...

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!!

Week 97: Igor's ready!

Image
Hello everyone!! This has been a really eventful and productive week! The biggest part of it I would say has been our teaching of Igor. I've grown to love this brother deeply! We quickly went through all the lessons. Most things he already remembered but there were a lot of other things that we were able to remind him and help him with and that was really good. Things like the Priesthood and the Sacrament. I felt that the spirit was a big help when we prayed to know what we should focus on as we worked with him. There were small and simple promptings that came that we then followed and felt good about. It's amazing to me to see the peace that he feels as he prepares for his baptism. He's very grateful for the work and things we have been doing to help him prepare for his baptism and also get his baptismal service ready and planned. He will be baptized this Saturday. We have been able to talk about everything with the branch leaders and we should have a great baptismal ...
