This week was pretty all over the place. We had some days
were we practically had no time to breath because of all of the things we had
to do.
We had interviews with President Kumferman this week which
were amazing like they always are. President Kumferman is so funny, he always
is saying to Sister Mitchell that he doesn't need to schedule more than 20
minutes for each missionary when she asks him if he wants more time, but he
just goes over on almost every single one anyway. Maybe there is some mission-president-thing
that we don't get that makes us think that way.
We were supposed to have our office staff meeting on
Wednesday but that didn't work out due to President going over on his
interviews. But we did eventually have it a couple of days later.
One of the saddest things happened to us this week. We were
in the office like usual on a normal Tuesday and we were finishing up
somethings that were kid of urgent the next day so we had to stay a little
later. The Zone Leaders in our district called and asked if we could order some
pizza or something so when they came in about 45 minutes we could all eat and
then go home for the night. This was a very exciting time for some of us and we
leaped on this opportunity to order Domino's. And it was even Tuesday where
there are really good discounts at Domino's. So we used our computer skills and
order online and were attentively watching the pizza tracker they have on the
Domino's website like a pot of boiling water. Perhaps it was because we were
watching it but it never moved from the "Processing order" to the
"In the oven". Then the Zone Leaders got a call from Domino's and
they said that unfortunately they would only be able to get it to us in an hour
and a half. At that point we would already have to have been home and we had to
tell them to say no. After that we went home and cried ourselves to sleep. But
there might be a chance tomorrow to let Domino's redeem themselves.
Sunday was great. There were a lot of great testimonies born
that were carried by the Spirit. We went to the International Branch as usual.
But we had one of our recent converts from the Borshagovsky ward come and he
asked me to translate for him. It was kind of weird translating for someone
into Russian instead of English. It was especially hard once the very wise and
seasoned members got up and started telling a story from their life and
unseeing words that only an 19th century professor would have known. But other
than that everything went great. Unfortunately due to the fact that we aren't
in America we didn't get to watch General Conference. We have heard all about
it and are super excited for next week when we can watch it. But perhaps we
might try to sneak a session or two here and there.
Fall is basically here. You can not only fell it but see it
on the trees and on the ground where the trees dumped all of their leaves. This
is the awkward time were it is not cold enough yet to were your normal winter
coat but definitely to cold to go outside with only a shirt on.
We got roped into yet another choir performance but this
time it is the whole stake. I am fine singing but I don't like it when I get
signed up left and right for things like this without asking us beforehand. And
then get super mad when we try and explain that we have other plans. "Yeah
just use the missionaries. I mean they don't have anything else to do." I
am sorry. I really do like singing and helping them out. But I just wished that
they would organize it a little bit differently.
I feel like my emails are getting more and more boring each
week and you would probably understand if you read this far. I guess I'll try
and do more interesting things each week so I can report on them. But there
isn't a whole lot of exciting things that go on here in the office.

Here is something interesting. Some of the pictures of the
Kiev Zoo.
I found my people (the sheep and llama)
And also My companion with a snipe.
