Dear Family and Friends,

Well I have no time to write you today! Busy with stuff for the Zone! I am so sorry! Well I am safe here in Kiev! The train ride was very crazy and long but we made it ok! It was very sad leaving Odessa! Some members came to the train station to send us off! It was so awesome! So on Friday I went down to Billa Tserkov for exchanges! They are in my Zone! It was so awesoem to return back to my first area! I was able to see all the members at a baptism on Saturday! It was so awesome to see them! I was seriously so happy and it felt so good! Well everything is going good! Elder Hinkson is my companion and he is so awesome! I love serving here in Center Kiev so much! The metro aka subway is so crazy! We ride it everyday! The ward here is so amazing! There is about 150 active members! So crazy! I gave a quick little talk on yesterday! It was really funny! I started and spoke in all Ukrainian then said just kidding and spoke Russian. The members loved it so much! Also I said a bunch of jokes and really tried to just be myself! It was so awesome! I can really feel the love of the members already! Well I am sorry but I cant write anymore! I love you!

Love

Elder Grochmal
