I hope that all of your weeks were great!
This
week has been amazing! Two weeks ago President gave all of the
missionaries a new Standard of Excellence, and that is to find 2 new
investigators each week! And honestly that is kind of a hard thing to do
in Ukraine. And the first week we tried our hardest we weren't able to
get any new investigators. And it was hard to call president on Sunday
and let him know.
However he congratulated us because we had tried our hardest and given it our all. 
So
this past week we have again been working and trying our hardest. And
you know what...Wednesday we decided to go out and try tracting 
Yes...Tracting!
So we went to a part of the city in our area across the river near the
Auto-voxsall Chose a building and went for it. There were people who
didn't answer and those who did but said "Thanks, but no thanks" or
"Sounds great give me a pamphlet!" There was even one woman who through
her closed door yelled "Be Gone Devil!" 
(It was actually hilarious after we quickly went down the stairs to the next level
) But in the end nobody wanted to meet and have a lesson right then.
It
was getting dark by then and we figured that we would head back into
center where there would be more people. So we started walking towards
the Marshrutka stop. And on the way we ran into this cute little Baba
and got started talking with her about who we were and why we were here
in Ukraine. She sounded interested and told us to stop by sometime. It
turned out that we were standing in front of her house.
We walked her to her door and then she decided that she actually did have time right then to meet!!!
...So
that night we were able to teach her and we got one of our new
investigators!!! Then on Saturday we went back to teach her again and
were able to teach her and her daughter as well!
New investigator # 2!!
I am so happy
and grateful for the hand of the Lord in my life. And knowing that, even
when your plans fall through and nothing is going the way you would
have liked it to go, the Lord has a plan for us and although at times we
may take a long time to get there everything goes the way he needs it
to go. So that we are in the right place at the right time for HIS purposes.
I love you all so much and can hardly wait to see you all again soon!
Love
Сестра Граф
