Dear People,
well thus we end another long week in the life of a Kyiv Ukraine Missionary. what a week. it was actually a little slow at first and we had or should I say found perhaps the reason we have been having such a hard time getting people to come to church at all and what not. Our branch is small and still growing, President Megega whom I serve under as a first councler is only lik 3years a member. however he is way cool! This week our president encouraged us all to go on Family search to see how to do it. I dont know ifyou have realized but there is alot more people than just us working on our family tree, a few of our lines are already traced back to adam and eve! get that! isn't that cool! and then we have some cool people along the way. it was way neet and I wish we had more time to keep doing it but yeah so you guys should check it out and when you get a chance do some more of it! its way cool stuff. This week I went out and got my coat for the winter, and I'm confident it will do the job. we had a mild summer this summer... which is great! I came near to dying last summer. lol so everyone thinks its going to be an ice cold winter! if not colder. I also got some glasses but I didn't buy them... and no I didn't steal them. we were out on the street with some books of the mormons :D and we had a guy come up and start talking to me, he was quiet at first and didn't say much other then flipping through some of the pages of a liahona. I thought he was drunk but I didn't have much time to think about it before we had some Jehovah's witnesses come up to argue! meanwhile my companion talked with the guy. After I confounded and distroyed them with doctrine (he he he) I came back and started talking to the guy again. I asked if he was coming tomorrow for church. he said well.... I'll try (common phrase) I asked him what that ment, is it yes or no? he sat back and said well I want to and I responded awesome we will see you tomorrow then! ... he sat back with a small smirk on his face and told me I was хитрий (Sneaky, or sly) I asked what he ment buy that. he said well look at your companion, he is open and you can read him like a book, and your just хитрий, he is like everything about you... even your eye's the way you are squinting them. I told him well the sun is out and I cant open them up. He offers his sunglasses and I put them on and he says OH! you see there you go. I went to go give them back and I darn near made him cry! He couldn't beleive I was giving them back! He told me it was a gift from his heart! I told him I could go and buy some if I needed some. He said well you guys gave me this great book and magazine so I owe it to you! I said no and he started to get upset. so I told him fine I will take them and bring them tomorrow (assuming that when he was all there he would want them back) and we parted. well needlessto say he didn't come to church so..... haha it was a funny story on the week. I cant belive that tomorrow is officially my 6 month mark! WOW! way to smack elder Johnson in the face! and its going to go by so fast! all of the holidays (including Ukrainian ones) and thats going to be it! also President just got back from Lithuania and told us that he is totally changing transfers! (which by the way I think I might get transferred.. possilby to Leviv! the gem of Ukraine. and there I would probably finish!) so yeah this week has been good. we had an emergency transfer happenin our zone! one of the girls falling for one of our Elders ( oh boy) but other than that everything was pretty cool! I picked up a pencil for the first time in a long time! I started drawing, you can tell grandma that I now have or will have a picture for her, drawing is more correct of Christ like she wanted... but its not like the last one. at all! its quite different! it will be cool to show once its done! I'm grateful for the talents Heavenly Father has given me because it can help put smiles on peoples faces! AND even get people back to church! so thats good stuff! I'm glad things are doing well. Taleya be careful (British accent) "or she might shoo out like a cannon boll" :D yeah random ANYWHO! I love you all! and i"m glad to hear everything is going well! :D love you all!
