Week 60:мне 20 лет, ребята!!

Добрый день, возлюбленные читатели!
давайте будем начинать уже

Hello, all you readers and other знакомы

This was a crazy busy week and this next week is a crazy busy one too so I might forget about a lot of the things that happened because I'm thinking about all the things up ahead that are about to happen. 

This is the week of transfers and we found out Friday that Elder Rasmussen is getting transferred! I'm super grateful for the time that I've had with him and all the great lessons that I have learned! It truly has been a marvelous blessing to be able to serve with him! He'll go to train until the end of his mission in Zaporozhe!! I'm excited for him! That means I need a new companion for myself and in his place Elder Bagley is coming into the "big house". Should be busy and should be fun!! Lots of great things coming up ahead!

Alright we've gotten through the business items we'll move right on down to the happenings of this week!

Бывшая повестка дней
We had a lot of things going on this week! A lot of things let me tell you! 
Wednesday was just one of those great days that you'll just remember when you look back on the mission as a whole! 

We had a bunch of lessons that just miraculously worked out and everyone came and made their appointments and all the lessons were just super powerful and spiritual! And then we also had a lesson with a sweet Brother, Alexander. We are helping him work towards getting the Melchizedek and we had our last lesson of 3 this week and he's ready to get the Priesthood! It was super exciting to work with him and help him to that point!!

On Sunday we had a funny kind of lesson thing that worked out really well in the end! We had one lesson planned for 6 and the following for 7 o'clock but the problem was they both came at the exact same time at 7. We ended up just getting everyone together and doing a lesson with them!! And regardless of the fact that they have different beliefs in general. All went very well and they both wanted to meet again! They never even found out that that wasn't part of the plan! haha

There was a baptism on Saturday that was really great! I ended up conducting the meeting and it was really great! President Wirthlin came and it was a really great and special day! Alla was the one that was baptized. The sisters in our district taught her and I had the opportunity to do her baptismal interview. It was really cool!! 

We spent all of Thursday on the Square because we wanted to just give the day to the Lord so we spent 12 hours just contacting and talking to as many people as we could! It was awesome!! 

All is going well! We have a bunch of people that we are teaching! Still trying to find those that are prepared and help them continue forward! 
Alright I hope I didn't space any crucial moments but we will move on to the Spiritual thought for the week!

Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."
On the course of my mission I've definitely seen the hand of the Lord. How he makes us able to do the things that we could never do just of ourselves. I'm grateful to have a testimony of the fact that I can always rely on the Lord to help me and lift me when I am uncertain of myself. All my weaknesses and shortcomings are swallowed up with Christ's Atonement and I'm forever grateful for that!

Love you all have a great week!

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 ...

Week 97: Igor's ready!

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 ...
