Hey everyone! I don't have a ton of time to write this, so I'm just gonna tell you about all the best stuff that happened this week haha! - WE FOUND THIS GUY NAMED ОЛЕГ AND HE'S AN ACTUAL ANGEL AND PROGRESSING SO WELL! - We're running on three week transfers and we just had another one. I will stay in Lviv with my American companion, Elder Fetzer. Our Ukrainian companion, Elder Orlov, is also staying in Lviv, but he's getting a new companion. It will be a super fun transfer! - I guess I can speak Ukrainian better than when I got here. That's definitely a good thing. - JESUS LOVES YOU AND THAT'S ACTUALLY THE BEST THING EVER! - Старійшина Хорслі 1. We missed our train on pday when going to an exchange (oops) 2. We found all these movies in the church in a box labled "For Missionaries" 😬 What a crazy place

Shoutout to my mom for sending these every week ☝🏼

Hey everyone! It has been another great week over on this side of the pond. We got a new addition to our companionship this week! His Nme is Elder Fetzer, and he's an absolute beast. Right now, I'm serving in a trio with Elder Orlov (from Ukraine) and Elder Fetzer (from Wisconsin). It's quite the eclectic mix if I do say so myself. It's super fun too! We get good work done, and they are both super helpful with the language. Plus they're super fun. So it all works out. Highlights = - Update: the crab chips are actually not bad - I've never taken so many trains in my entire life. - We have a bench press in our apartment along with a curl bar and a bunch of weights. The transfer goal is to get huge. We will see how that goes. - We have a member in our ward named Брат Яровий and he's probably the funniest guy I've ever met. He loves Elder Fetzer and figured out that his major is applied mathematics, so he always calls him математик. - Our friends Наталія a...

Hey everyone! We had another great week in Ukraine. The works is moving forward, and I absolutely love it here! The food is good, the language is awesome, and the people are incredible. There is nowhere I'd rather be right now! Highlights = - Mayonnaise goes on everything here. It's been quite the adventure - Powerade isn't a thing here, but they do have crab flavored chips. - The language is coming along more and more each and every day! My companion, Elder Orlov, is a native, and he is very helpful with the language. He's the man! - We biked 27 miles to go to a castle today. We don't have any bikes in the mission, so we rented some, and it was actually pretty fun! - Our friends are doing well and progressing in the gospel! The Lord's work goes forward each and every day! I know that Jesus Christ loves me and that He has a plan for me. When I look back at my life, it's so obvious to me, and it's incredible. I'm so grateful for this chance I have ...

Україна -- (Ukraine)

Hey everyone! Well, my first full week in Ukraine has been completed. It was a super good one! We've seen a ton of miracles, and I absolutely love this place. Plus, having a native companion really helps me with learning the language. He's also fluent in English, so I can ask literally any question I want when I don't understand. It's kind of the best. Now for the highlights! - We got a referall for this guy named Костантин from some Elders in the neighboring mission. He's awesome! He's wanting to be baptized, and he's so ready. We're hoping to help him pick a baptismal date this next week. - Some random guy called us out of the blue and we got to set up a lesson with him! His name is Ігор, and he's the actual man. He's super nice, and he thinks the Book of Mormon and Gift of the Holy Ghost are super cool. Love that guy! - Our friend Оксана is praying about a baptismal date after our last lesson with her. She's awesome! - Pretty much Lviv i...
