Merry Christmas everybody!! This past little while a lot has happened that's for sure! I've got even a few extra days to write about even! I'll try to be brief because today is Christmas and I've got some celebrating and thinking of our Savior to do! :) This week started with an exchange in Kamenskoe with Elder Knowlton. That's probably then 7th time I've done an exchange there because I used to be in a district with Kam when I served on Pobeda so I always think of my past experience in that little city when I'm there! It's a super great place!! This past week one of my companions Elder Rasmussen finished his mission he came into Dnipro on Tuesday night and we were able to have Wednesday his last full day together in a trio before he flew out so that day we spent a lot of time around all of the departing missionaries! It was sad to see all these missionaries that I know really well go home! It was also a very special experience to think of what I...

Привіт! Як справи твої? There's a little Ukrainian for you all to start your day Haha)) This week was a super busy one! We had a bunch of different meetings/conferences and then we also had one exchange this week! In despite of the fact that we were super busy we had a really great week!  Our first meeting was MLC on Tuesday which was really great! We somehow got all of our discussion items finished and plans of action for each of them which like never happens. We were all super tired afterwards because our brains had been working so hard for so many hours straight Haha.

Me and Elder Stosich had a lesson in about 10 minutes from that moment so when the tramvai rolled in my comp jumped out and Elder Stosich jumped in and we kept on rolling to the branch haha. It was some real fancy maneuvering.  We got to the branch and had a le...

Alright everybody buckle up we've got a lot to cover here.  New missionaries So like we've already been over the first week of the transfer and it's filled chuck full with all the meetings any missionary could ever hope for Haha. We had Train the Trainers, Airport, Missionary Welcome, and Orientation -the whole shebang. We also added in a meeting for all young missionary leaders in the mission which was really good as well! So a lot of our time this week was spent in those different meetings but even that being said we got a whole lot done on the other days as well!  First Snow We got the first snow of the year. It was pretty and then it got a little warmer again and melted so now we're back to strange winter. There is, however, an ice rink by the main square, so that's pretty cool.  Big plans There is a little city that is about an hour away from Dnipro and there live about 8 members of the church and were are trying to organize a trip on over the...
