Count your blessings)) Alright so this week was the first week of the transfer which means we were busy busy busy!! Haha super busy actually! We had lots going on pretty much each day of the week. There were moments of peace when we finished with a hard task but then we just kept pushing through to whatever was next. All in all it was a really great week! Finding order in the chaos (Хоас sounds like "house") This week we had something going on basically everyday and we had lots of good moments in between and before and after and even during so I'll try to explain all the things going on and then those ...

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 th...

Hello family and friends,  And also any enemies that might be reading as well, Haha just kidding we are all friends here! I need to start with an apology of the lack of photos or as sounds way cooler in Russian отсутствие фотек. This week I will send more pictures to make up for my mistakes.  Dalshe, which means дальше which means further: This week was a joyful week as is every week in the service of the Lord! If we're talking happenings there were many of them. There were also some sadder happenings but as the Lord's hands, we can't be too sad when things don't go the way want because we're just hands. We just do the work we've been called to do! People A lot of the people that we have been teaching the last month or so kind of stopped lessons with us this week. One is going back to his old church. The other signed up for this service thing in a different church and quit his job and is using all his time there. So that was sad to see the 2 ...

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 di...

Another week is in the books here in Dnipro, Ukraine! It's been a really great week. The first week of the transfer has already come and gone First week The first week of the transfer is always pretty hectic because there are many meetings for all of the new leaders/trainers/missionaries and it's also the week that we have MLC so basically all in all there was a whole lot going on this week. Sometimes it kinda feels like we are staring out of the window just missing being out there on the streets. In despite of those feelings and the lack of us on the streets of Dnipro this week we got work DONE! Lots happened this week! Missions are Forever We had 6 missionaries end their missions at the beginning of this week and one of them was headed home to a different part of the world. So while everyone else had a early flight tuesday morning he had about a 1 o'clock flight in the afternoon. His only desire was to spend the whole morning contacting. So we left ...
