Dear Everyone!

WAHOOO!!! I got both packages! I was so stoked! the socks were "soley" needed . I loved it all! thanks for the seasonings! those will last probably till the end of the mission. Speaking of which. Yes I know that the date was changed... I have been getting a lot of thoughts about staying lately.. I thought about it, prayed about it and asked President for his advice and well you know what he said. so yeah... here I am staying. I'm happy I am staying.. I'm sorry to be a bummer but I don't think that It will be 4 years until I see those two. honestly Christopher will get his call and if he is not English speaking than I think I will see him again.. and bryndon diffinently will be seeing again. Tell Chris thank you for the journal... I thought I was going to have to go buy another one from L'viv again. so yeah this week was nuts! I cant believe how fast it went and this next week is going to be even faster! we have transfers, an area presidency coming, president family vacation, and the new transfers... we have 14 new missionaries coming in! ... our mission is getting young REALLY quick. Also we seem to have an epidemic here... lots of our missionaries are getting appendicitis, the stupid part is is nobody knows why appendicitis happens... so I'm scared! I'm being way careful! I hate doctors!!! and to have to go have surgery in Ukraine!!!! NO WAY! I sent a bunch of pictures... one of them is our recent convert next to the Christmas tree.. he just went to the temple right next door and did baptisms... then he was confirmed for 60 PEOPLE!!! ha ha and he was way happy about it. the rest is me and Elder Hofeling.. also our district. the one on the tractor is our original district.. save for oleg who is in the picture. and then the one on the wall of the church is our district for this week... it was huge! almost the size of our Odessa zone! lol it was way funny! anyway so yeah excell just about killed me today... certain cells were not working out, the macro's were all deleted! I wanted to shoot myself in the foot! anyway so anyway ... I cant think right now.. my brain is a little fried.. all I see is numbers. all of our missionaries are going home.. everyone in Elder Hofelings group. its weird! but I don't have time for it to trunk me out... honestly it makes me nervous and then happy of my decision to stay! I hope everyone is doing well.. I know dad is doing well. and that's about it! so guys come on! email me!
love you all! please tell me when you want to Skype!
