Week 56: Travel есть путешествие

Здравствуйте! дорогие братья и сёстры

Я надеюсь что, это письмо найдёт вас в хорошем состоянии.

Haha hello everyone!!

This week was a really good one as always! We stayed super duper busy! Which is actually a huge blessing so can't even complain.

A промежуток времени in Odessa

So on Monday following some rigorous report devising in the office we arose from(из) our собственных chairs(ов) and began to descend onto the street using the elevator. We then walked in(в) the direction of the Вокзал(or train place) as we occupied ourselves with ходьбой(walking) we also spoke with people about the gospel. Using "the sword of the Spirit; which is the word of God:" Eph 6:17. In our small amount of time before the time of departure arrived and it was time to leave. We spoke with many different people who each had different backgrounds and live in different homes with different people and different circumstances. While all these people were not the same one of them did differentiate even more from all the others with свои(their own) differences. He was interested and wants to meet Haha woohoo contacting!!

Upon train arrival, we came into the train arriving in the trains room place, upon arriving there the train departed and we all waited in the train awaiting our arrival at the place of trains in the Odessa train arrival station. Once we got there we hop and skittled on over to the shower of missionaries(ов) who live in the city of Odessa.

There we showered to fulfill the purpose of becoming clean, in order to not be dirty. Then we had zone conference. It was really great! Afterwards I had an exchange with Elder Richards who was with me in the MTC it was super fun! He taught me what falafel is. I still don't know what it actually IS(то есть, чем является) but now I at least know what it tastes like. I don't know what it looks like because I consumed it in darkness under a tree that was next to a street where cars drive.

A long journey is a roofless machine

Upon departure from the city of Odessa we gathered(собрались) to go to Kharkiv. A trip of a fearsome 14 hours that would take us through the jumbo city of Kiev as we Americans say (Kyiv as would be correctly pronounced) Upon entering into what would become our moviegoing home for the next 14 hours we along with the other passengers noticed something wasn't quite right. As we looked up where there was once and emergency Hatch there is no nothing but a plastic bag between us and the open world. Comments were made about the lack of a roof by some of the riders. The driver assured us that there was a roof(то есть, крыша) others were unsure about the validity of this claim. I myself enjoyed to hear the conversations about(о/на счёт/про/по поводу/касательно/при?) our make shift covering to what was once a Hatch. You can be the judges yourself as I will attach below a fotku or фотку or photo.

Conference in KharkivTown

Great Conference in the before mentioned town of Kharkiv. I had the opportunity to share some thoughts and I talked about agency!! It was really great and I felt happy with what I had shared with everyone. I had the opportunity to see my posterity as this Zone is the current residing place of the Beloved Elder Trounce (возлюбленный) who является(is) my trainee or son. Who has now followed the steps of his father in becoming a father or trainer of Elder Conger. Picture attached.

Picnics are the best way to consume food with friends

We had a branch picnic it was awesome you should all try it!! We invited all our investigators and the family came so Veronica and Aleksei they really enjoyed it and are growing more and more apart of the church as they come AMD begin to read the book of Mormon they're progressing really well!! I'm excited for them!

Sunday!

We had 3 people I'm church the Lord is blessing us with many marvelous miracles. A man we meet a couple weeks ago talked to his friend and his friend was interested in the gospel and coming to church so this week when we called that man we met he said he wasn't too interested but referred his friend Sergei, who came to church and really enjoyed it! Elder Rasmussen taught him the Restoration before the meeting started sitting there and we have a second lesson planned for Tuesday.

Another man called me while we were in Kharkiv and said he knew missionaries from 8 years before and wants to meet again and is interested in coming to churchh. We met with him on Sunday and found out how the Book of Mormon has really helped him in life and help him to feel peace. He talked about how he doesn't think the Orthodox church can be true but wants to join a church. He talked about his love for the Savior becoming a little emotional and we the shared with him the message of the Restoration. It was a powerful lesson and I think he will progress well and is ready for a baptismal invitation this week for sure. We passed him to Left Bank because we found out he lives near the branch there. I talked to Elder Stosich and Arnold more about him and they're excited! The Lord is mighty and is doing his work putting the people in our path we need to meet with and teach we we ourselves can't be in our areas.

The work of the Lord continues one nothing will ever stop it!!

Spiritual Thought

Daniel 2:44

"And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever."

The kingdom of God is upon the earth today! It is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This is the last dispensation and the fullness of times. The kingdom of God shall never again be taken from the Earth but "it shall stand for ever."

Love you all,
