Week 48: TRANSFERS!!



Allllrighty!
This week was the end of the transfer and it was a really good week!! Saturday we got the transfer calls and I found out I'm headed back to Dnipro to be one of the assistant.! It's a lot of responsibility and I don't totally know exactly what to do in every moment but I'm super excited and ready to work the hardest that I ever have! Its gonna be great!

Прощаемся 
It was sad to have to say a goodbye to all the people I have worked with in Nikolaev. It's been a good 5 months down there! It was especially sad to say goodbye to some of those that we were teaching. And members of the branch that have become such great friends! 

Travel and New 
Sunday night I left up to Dnipro so that I could get here today because we had a chuck full week this week! Haha with all the missionaries leaving and all the new ones coming in and leadership meetings etc. There is plenty to do but I'm sure it'll be lots of fun!

My new companion is Elder Rasmussen he's from Grand Junction so he knows all about Blanding and Monticello which is super cool. He's like 7 feet tall which is cool too Haha. He works really hard and it should be really fun serving together.

I don't have a ton of time today so I'm sorry to not write much more but I'll finish up with a spiritual thought!

Spiritual Thought
I've been thinking a lot this week about giving our will to the Lord and why that's important and I read on it a great talk!

"the submission of one’s will is really the only uniquely personal thing we have to place on God’s altar"

All in all our will is what is the most meaningful for us to give to the Lord! As we align ourselves with Heavenly Father we will see things how he does and blessing will be immeasurable!!

"As one’s will is increasingly submissive to the will of God, he can receive inspiration and revelation so much needed to help meet the trials of life"

Love you all and I'm so happy to be serving my mission.

С любовью,
Ст. Халлс

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 ...

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!

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 ...
