Hello Hello Hello!
Greetings from Ukraine! I'm doing well, we just finished our first week on a new transfer and well ... its going. This week was interesting because it was the cities birthday. This city has been a city longer than our country has been a country. 580 years old. so ... naturally, everyone was drunk. :S The World is on its way to ........ a really really bad place. :P It made it really hard to contact people because one they didn't want to talk to us and two if they did it was because they were plastered. Obviously we deviated and tried by other means to talk to people but yeah... was really tough. One of our member here Roman, He is 17 and plays the drums, he was in the parade on saturday and then wanted us to go support him on sund around 5 in the park. we figured cool we can do that and maybe talk to some of his friends there, maybe get a few cool people to teach. well we go there and ... apparently the celebrations just go until they say because according to them it was still the cities birthday. Everyone was drinking, some were dancing. It was a small stage that he was going to be playing on and he told us that he was the 2nd one. ..... long story short .. he wasn't. instead about 9 belly dancers came out!!! for the love of pete! it literally smacked us all in the face and I looked towards Roman, he gives me an "I have no idea" look. and so I sent the other elders on exchanges, we ditched the tags and left to another end of the park until they were done. came back. more belly dancers. ...ou vey! same ruitine. He FINALLY got to play and it was way good. He felt way bad but he didn't know. This week we found two new investigators, way cool people! I gave her husband a requested blessing. I commanded him to stand and be with health. he started to cry, when he arose he did so without us. you see we had to basically carrying him in the room. He recently suffered a stroke. so we carried him in the room and he carried himself out! we hope to have them baptized in 3 weeks. next meeting is this week. that was one of the more perfect lessons Heavenly Father helped us teach. awesome experience!
The leaves have already been changing and the chill is in the air and I think we can expect a REALLY cold winter! because we had a really mild summer. Dad as for flight numbers I wont find out until about the last 3 months and even then they are going to send them to you. If you are connecting to my flight then we are leaving like the 6th or 7th of march. I cant really do anything you guys have to contact the mission office here and talk to them about the whole thing. I beleive this is the email to the mission office. The names are Elder and Sister Park 2012235@ldschurch.org so you will have to get intouch with them. They pretty much leave me out of the whole thing until the end. I honesntly think it would be better if you guys came back with me, meaning so I go home and then we go back. because I will be a missionary while here and so I wont get to do alot of things you might want to do. I dont know if the stake president can release me over the phone but I just think it might be better that way. you'd get your money's worth out of it because then I could show you Ukraine. and not just Kyiv. but thats all up to you.
the work is way hard right now! we are you could say just nourishing the garden, hoping for an awesome bloom. I'm glad Chris is getting done! get the signature and get him out! tell bryndon he is a молодець . yeah the travel by taxi is a huge cost but president says if the presidency says no more night travel then we are going to do anything to obey! money isn't an issue. In October we are are doing an activity that our district thought up of and we are inviting 3 other cities to come join in with us. we have made alot of progress thus far. it will be a YSA and president Klebingat is on board. we are way excited!
Also I recieved a call from Rivne, and they want me to come sing at a wedding of some close members of mine down there. I really want to! awesome chance to share my talent, my comp doesn't really want to. President thinks its cool but he is going to let me decide wether ornot to go. the Zone leaders siad do it! so we will see, I might just go on exchanges to do it. well yeah so family I love you, I hope you ALL are doing well! Yes Aunt Robin I got the package a while back! it was way cool! and I appreciated it big time! tell Rosy and Uncle Brett I said Hi! Taleya... just go jump on a trampolien :D ..kidding dont do that! Я вас люблю!
