Week 19 Trio!
Hello hello everybody!
I hope you all have had an amazing holiday season and that everything you have going on in your life is going well. I hope you have been able to feel the love of your families, friends, neighbors, and especially our Savior this holiday season!!
I'm doing well over here in Ukraine, the snow is coming down currently and has been for the last couple of days it's like a continous things but there is not that much snow on the ground so it's kind of confusing me to be honest. It's just snowing enough to get up in your face and in your eyes and let you know that it is there. The river has frozen and now the snow is piling up on that too! It looks pretty cool sadly I don't have any pictures of it ahhh. I'm loving missionary work I feel like I am learning so so much and growing a ton making huge strides every day in different areas! I love being a missionary and my opportunity I have ever day to strive to do my best to bring our message of love and hope to the people over here that I have become so fond of!!
This was a great week for me! It was pretty interesting in terms of what we did with all the holidays going on and what not so I'll go ahead and jump right in!
So monday was New Years' Eve and here that is the HOLIDAY like everyone's favorite they are all crazy about it! anyway we had to go inside early that day at 4 and we kept ourselves busy by making some really yummy food. We made burgers out of this stuff they have here called "farsh" it might be ground beef but if it's not I would 100% not be suprised it's some kinda a meat anyway it was pretty yummy actually!
The next day since all the Ukrainians had been partying hard and busy launching the loudest fireworks we have every heard the night before, they were all dead tired and literally no one was outside on the streets. We went on the street to do some gospel contacting and the only people out on the street to contact were some super hungover old dudes so that was a little bit difficult day haha.
We had zone conference this week and it was super great president gave us a lot of great challenges for us to try and just things to work on with the new year coming and I felt like it was so inspired!
Friday we were in the office for part of the day ordering a bunch of stuff for missionaries and then after that we went to the branch to go and pick up Elder Carter his companion finished his mission in the middle of a transfer so he is in a trio with me and Elder Rodgerson until the transfer ends so for the next two weeks it's all 3 of us together haha it's a little harder than with just to to adjust teaching wise and contacting with 3 people is kinda intimidating but we are doing our best!
This week we had so many good conversations with people we found a lot of potential people that we are trying hard to teach! One guy walked up to us just on the street and tells us, "I believe in the prophet Joseph Smith!" he was really cool and we are meeting with him on wednesday! Another man just somehow strolled into church on Sunday and he really loved it we got him a Book of Mormon and plan to meet with him later this week! I've seen so many miracles as we do all we can to work somehow these people just find there ways to us and we have these amazing opportunities to teach and testify to people!!
We were calling people from the area book this week as well which is kinda stressful because you never know what you'll get on the other end of the phone line but it was really successful and we got a couple meetings from it! I'm loving the work and really learning what it means to be a missionary!
I want you all to know that this church is true! The church was restored to the earth through the prophet Joseph Smith, the Lord leads and guides his church today through a living prophet. I know our Father in Heaven loves each of us deeply and I know that when we pray to him he hears and listens to us! He wants us to be happy and has promised to bless us as we follow the example of his son, Jesus Christ! I feel so blessed to share this message everyday as best as I can! I know it is true! It's blessed my life!
Love,
