Generosity
Дорогий Мате, (dear mom)
Thank you, that helped. kind of put it into perspective for me, yeah the baptizms are huge here, we have two more in the next to weeks one for both my comp and me. I think I'm going to start bringing my journal to the computers because I can never remember them. although this week we did run into an American while trackting. that was really weird, me and elder Johnson go ever other door and this one was my turn so I knocked and he opened, I spoke to him in Ukrainian, and he was like huh? so I was like oh uh..... so I spoke to him in russian and he replied in English "sorry boys I dont understand" we were like OH! lol cool! we speak english. he invited us in, man I forgot how different people were in America. this guy was WAY generous, granted everyone here offers you stuff to drink, but as we started talking he offered us a room to come stay in when its to hot, he wanted to give us the keys to his apartment lol it was weird but he was way nice, catholic, and he is hearing training the Nato army. he is a retired Col. for the army. really nice guy, I invited him to the Temple but forgot the temple invitations are all in Urkainian so my comp tranlsated for him. OH I have been drawing these pictures every P-day and then at night after my journal. its План Спасіння "plan of salvation" its really kind of cool, I'll take pictures and send them to you. sorry I'll have more to type next week. I just need to bring notes. mean while go ahead and type everything you want. actually next week I'll be in kiev helping with the open house not sure how pdays work there but.. yeah no that I love you all and miss you something fierce. yeah pictures would be really cool to see, and I'm supposed to have a family album which I dont have of pictures to show the people we teach, its weird once you show them pictures you are like IN THE FAMILY! lol its weird. lots of different htings about this country. you dont fill up you gas, someone else does it. Alot of Ukrainians have house shoes that they where around the house... weird habit that I have started lol sometimes they paint the bottoms of the tree's. and wow these people no how to dress up, you say church to someone who has never been before and they will put everyone to shame! lol but yeah so I think thats it for this week. Tell dad that if you come to pick me up that I will still be a missionary and have to abide by missionaries rules, I will have to stay with my comp, cant go site seeing until my last day... yeah just something to think about. love you mom, thank you for your support... lately its been rough. I have really been tempted to come home... so thanks
