Hello everybody! I am so glad that you had fun at disneyland! That sounded like a great trip, and I'm happy all went well. Here's my week! Tuesday was intense... we had Hermitage service in the morning, then we went right to a meeting with Brother Ridd from the YM Presidency, and Elder Kleibengat from the seventy. It was a really good meeting, really inspiring. Elder Kleibengat used to be the Mission President in Kiev. He's awesome! He taught us some great principles that my companion and I started applying right away. We then went to pick up a less active to take to a fireside being put on by those brethren. It was a really good fireside, and it was about families. Kinda awkward that our member is single... but that's ok. The spirit was there and we all learned good things. On Wednesday we had weekly planning, and we started to apply the things that we learned and all has been going great so far! I've loved it. We are just more focused on helping the people rather than hitting the goals I guess.. I don't know how to describe it all that well. We had english group that night. A few people came and it was a fun time. Thursday we had another MLC from morning til afternoon. It was mostly to hand out new materials that we will be using and to explain how to use them. The two big ones were a new english program, where we teach the missionary lessons in english. The other was the beginning of family history work in our stake. We now have a family history center (kinda) and we'll be able to take people there. After the meeting, I was with one of the office elders on a split. It was a really intense split, because the transfers were finished that day and the other elder had my fate in his pocket. So that was fun, trying to weasel it out of him. We finished up our split on friday and then we went less active hunting that night. On Saturday, we had zone training for the missionaries in the city. That was fun. We all had a good time and we got all the information out. Good stuff. That night we went to the local clinic to get our flu vaccinations, under the orders of the area doctor. So cool. Hooray for flu shots. Sunday was ok. We had a good church time, but our bishop is just too nice to say no or to take control of situations! It's kinda frustrating. I got to see a return missionary who served here who came back from Ukraine for a week or so. It was fun to talk to him. Then we broke our fast with the senior couple, it was really nice of them to make us a great dinner of chicken and mashed potatoes and other goodies. Then our lesson fell through... lame.
I thought a lot this week after the meetings on tuesday... I'm in the best place that I could be! I am where I need to be, and I need to take advantage of every single second of it! So that as my big thing of the week. I hope I can give it my all on my mission, and in everything else. Love you all!
Andrew
