.......in a daze

Dear Everyone!
so check it out this last week was nuts! I'm still not all there though in the head. The YSA conference that was planned went great!! We ended up getting more than 40 people to it. Honestly we didn't really do anything, we just thought of the Idea, and then I "signed my life away", and the leaders from all the cities did their thing! it was kind of crazy, and at times a giant pain in the backside but it was варто! Of course the missionaries were not really apart of it, which makes sense because it was a YSA conference... also known as "a conference of potential marriages". However, some of the members here were pretty stubborn and not really looking to marry Ukrainians :) it was awesome! I ran my companion dry! haha as soon as we got home to plan he was in bed with the lights out! lol poor elder. I had an awesome time! we saw alot of familiar faces, alot of new ones. that was pretty much the end of the week! President has set a few standards as pertaining to the missionary work here, one that he is really going to town on is the investigators, always be finding. My companion has really jumped on bored! he was not really excited about transfers because of his new companion... however, right now I'm sitting in the mission office right next to the temple. No I do not stay at the mission home with president haha thats kind of silly. Elder Hofeling and I have a ..... (humbly saying) a VERY nice apartment here in kyiv. I have been there before. I'll have to fix my camera and takes some pictures at some point. by the way dad I had to take some money out because of the conference so, I still have all the money that I took out on me. I just had it reimbursed. afterwards was sunday, I gave myself the responsability to speak which was really nice! Some of our members broke down... I felt really bad. Almost didn't want to come. I'm very excited to be here in kyiv with Elder Hofeling! its way cool to be serving in our Third area together, for the Third time for only,... once again ONE transfer!!! and then he is going to leave me to figure out how to be an assistant with my next companion... lol whom I already know ;) anyway we jumped on a 7 hour bus because, there are no trains that went at the times we needed. It was very hot!!! and thats saying alot!!! I'm a warm person I know but everyone was complaining! so I finally got up and fixed the problem... which in response about 20 minutes later they cranked the heater right back on! some weird russian movie was on! I didn't like it. we got in about 12 at night :(... I'm way tired... I was just trained on how to run the office.. so yeah in one ear out the other... and then we have some funny transfers going on right now because Ukraine just made some new rules which makes it hard and this transfer impossible for the missionaries to come from America. I wanted to send pictures but .. . uh well I haven't touched my bags yet! so I'll send them next week. I'll be working around computers alot! so that will be different! We are deffinently headed into winter, I'm way excited to be working with president Klebingat. I wont know anything about travel unitl my last couple transfers and they will send the info to you before I get it. No dad I dont get a full ride scholarship lol thats just weird! so sister Garritt is trying to hook me up with a ukrianian??? lol thats kind of .. interesting I suppose. Yeah Elder Hofeling kind of remembers the Longhurst's! really is a small world anyway I'm way tired! I know that my emails are normally far more interesting but honestly I just want to sleep! I'm excited to serve! and we are going into the holidays so that is going to be way fun! tell everyone state side that I love em and will see them sooner than I want to haha
