Merry Christmas! С Рождеством!
Hello everyone. as you might have known. Christmas was
yesterday. Well at least for us Americns.
Well my first Christmas in field was great!. Chrstmas eve we
had a Christmas Eve lunch thing with the Elders in our ward. it was great. Our
wonderful Belarussian Elder made vareniki for us. And the Sister were so kind
and made a cake that was super good!
But what was the best is that we got to call home! It was so
good to talk with my family! We weren't able to do it on Christmas Day because
it just wouldn't work out with our scheduale and the schedule of the other
missionaries. But it was all good because my family couldn't do it on Christmas
Day either. it was also great to see Elder Carr's family.
it was funny. On Christmas morning we wake up at 6:30 as
usual and prayed. I finished my prayer and walked into our srudy room and Elder
Carr had already opened up all of his packages and was wearing his beanie that
he got. I thought it was pretty great. And what was even better was that
Someone had eaten the Super Kontiks and drank the milk we left on the window
sill by the radiator with our socks hanging up. And Someone had filled Elder
Carr's stocking as well.
Sacrament Meeting was awesomeand us Missionaries got to
sing. Remember Katya who wanted to be baptized? and who we haven't been able to
meet with since she called? that's right, she came to church wioth her husband
Sasha!!! We got to talk a little bit and set up our next meeting! And Denis
came too!
last P-day we went to Maidan for a little bit and looked
around and it was really cool.
On Friday when we were doing studies, we looked out the
window and saw all of the trees and how they were covered with ice. It was so
cool!
Also this transfer is over and I have now been asinged to be
District Leader in the now Pecherky District. Everyone is staying except Elder
Tolmen who is leaving.
All in all everything is going just wonderful.
This is a wonderful time to remember our Savior, Jesus
Christ, and all that he has done for us. He is the greatest of all gifts that
anyone could have given us. I honestly wouldn't be here serving or living the
way I am if I didn't have the promise of receiving forgiveness if I will
repent.
I love you all and appriciate your prayers and
support.
