The Ukrainian Bear

Dear family and friends!

This past week was another awesome week! So this week is transfer week but I am staying the same with my companion in the same area still as the Assistants! I am excited because we have a whole lot of good going right now for us!

Last week was a crazy week! Tuesday we had district meeting and then went to the mission office to have a meeting with our mission President. It was really good. We just talked about the mission and lots of other stuff. We then came back to our area and had a lesson at night with some investigators. It was way good. They are brand new investigators and already doing awesome!

Wednesday we had a few lesson during the day with some other investigators. We taught them all about the Book of Mormon. They are all pretty new investigators so we are still on the basics with them! We had english at night which was awesome. We had about 10 new people. After English we got on a train and headed down to Odessa to do exchanges with the zone leaders!

Our train got in at about 7am on Thursday morning. We went to the zone leaders house and started an exchagne with them. It was so awesome. I was with Elder Jeppson. We had a lesson with a member in the afternoon. It was such an awesome meeting. The lady was super old and soooo awesome. We ended up giving here a blessing because she was a little sick. At night we did a service project with some a few braches in Odessa. It was awesome because I got to see a bunch of members that I know. We then played some soccer with some members and investigators. It turned out to be an awesome night. That night we got on a train and headed back up to Kiev.

We arrived at about 8am and went home changed and then headed to the mission office to have Mission Leadership Council! It went really good. We talked about some really good things about the mission and set some good goals. At night we had a lesson with a member. We did some service for her a little bit around the house. It was way good.

Saturday we had English in the morning and then a baptism in the afternoon. The other Elders here in our district and the sisters both had people getting baptized. It was sooooo awesome. It was such an awesome baptism. We had a few investigators show up. Overall it was such a beautiful day.

Yesterday was a great day at church. For the 3rd hour since it was the 5th sunday the bishop gave us the missionaries the lesson. It was so awesome. We planned out an awesome lesson with our ward mission leader. It turned out to be such a success and we hope that the members are more excited to share the Gospel!

Well that it all for this week! I love you all so much. I hope you have a great week!

Love

Elder Grochmal
