Hey Everybody! Hope that you all had a great time watching General Conference!
I still have not had the opportunity to see it yet, but this Saturday
and Sunday we will get to see the broadcast in Ukrainian!
Anywho
this week was great! I didn't get a chance to send a big email last
week because we were running to go and catch a bus to Khmel'nits'ky for
Exchanges with the sister's there. It was very fun and a few more
exchanges that expected. The first day I was with Sister Tsimbal again
and it was great to fall back into our companionship again. (For those
of you who may have forgotten, she was my little Ukrainian from back in
Luts'k.) And I must say that it was simply wonderful! Just being able to
be there with her again! We had a lesson planned but then it fell
through. However in Khmelnitsky they have Young Women's! So since the
sisters there are the YW President and counselor we planned Mutual.
Super fun time and the girls brought there friends too! Honestly an
awesome time! Then the next day the Sister Training Leaders had to go to
L'viv with the District Leader Trio, and since President Didn't want
the other sisters to be alone in Khmelnitsky alone we stayed and did
exchanges with them as well. It was great, First i was with Sister Wind,
who was also my companion for 3 days in Luts'k before sister Tsimbal
came. That was great! There was this one member that we went and visited
and it was a wonderful thought from the Liahona
and she loved it! in the middle of the lesson though we got a call from
President Magayga The Khmelnistky branch president Telling us that we
had to be at the church in 30 minuets! So we quick called the sisters
and all met up at the church and got there in time for some people to
come and do some sort of Remont stuff. Then we got a call from The visa
clerk Lubamere because sister Henrichsen had to go and get registered.
She had been with sister Barnes And had a meeting set up with one of the
people that Sister Barnes had taught a year ago when she served in
Khmelnitsky, so...in order for them to still be able to have that
meeting we pulled a quick switcharoo and I ended up wit sister
Henrichsen (another former companion from Luts'k) and sister Barnes and
Wind set off. We were at this point still waiting on the Remont people
and when they finally finished we got another call from Lubamere telling
us that it was too late and that she would have to do her registration
the next day. So...this left us with something of a dilemma because our
former plans had fallen through, so we were messing around with the
piano truing to figure out what to do, when what do you know Some guy
wanders in and asked where the free English practice was. We told him
that it was the next day. As he was leaving He picked up a Book of
Mormon and said, "Can I have this" Our answer, "Um...yeah if you want,
we have lots," Him "For free?" us "Yeah" then he left. Probably should
have given more of an introduction, but we were more amazed at the fact
that he had found his way to the Church! For those of you who don't know
The church is renting in a football stadium on the second floor, and in
order to get to the entrance you have to go through these doors, see
picture below, and then you are given the option of going up or down the
stairs. Go up because if you go down you will find yourself, well...not
in the church, to be blunt it would be the Tarrentino Bar, Lets just
say they are looking for a new location. Anywho needless to say I was
surprised that he found the church in the first place. and we were able
to get his number to pass along to the elders, so that's good.
