Hey everyone
It's been a really busy week trying to figure out transfers but I think I've finally gotten settled into the new apartment haha. We were told something different every day so it was fun stressing out about everything. It's also pretty great being back in Chisinau. I miss Balti tons but I'm in love with Moldova in general. 

We had a lot of ups and downs this past week. The biggest up is that we had the chance to go to Kyiv again! Which means that we got to the temple again which was the best part. We were able to listen to the whole thing in Russian which was SO COOL. We also had MLC which was just a sweet meeting where we talked about the mission and what we can be doing better. We also got to eat at Pazata Hatta which is a way good Ukrianian resturant. 

We spent most of the week figuring things out and preparing one of our investigators Alex for baptism. He had a date for this past Saturday but he had some problems with where he was staying so he's back on the streets so we've been trying to help him find a stable situation. We were really sad about and we've been praying super hard for him but we're hoping things will look up soon. 

That's pretty much it for the week I hope you all had a good week and I'm wishing you all a better one! Here's a sweet scripture 2 Nephi 7:11 
Behold all ye that kindle fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks,   walk in the light of your fire and in the sparks which ye have kindled. This  shall ye have of mine hand—ye shall lie down in sorrow.  

I'm not sure why I like it so much but the image to me is so rad. I mean we are all a light to the world so just remember that you can be a light to someone else today. You never really know how much good you do. 
Love ya

Hey everyone  Oh man it's been a fun week. Also we contacted pretty much all day every day but for some reason it was really fun? Also Elder Day got wrecked with a stomach bug and we've started to get colds but we've still been going out and getting work done.  We actually had people come to church this sunday! So that was sweet. Church is nice. I got to translate @ church and man my translating is so trash haha. It's really fun though. Something cool that happened is we prayed really hard to find a less-active member one day and we went out to some addresses to find them and on our way we stopped a guy and tried to talk to him and he was like "oh yeah i actually used to go to your church" and then we found out more and it turns out he was baptized a while ago and even had the priesthood at some point so that was so cool and we invited him to come back to church. So miracles do actually happen it was sweet. Now that summer is coming around everyone dec...

2 Countries 2 Missions 2 Mission Presidents 3 Areas 3 Languages 9 Companions Hundreds of lessons taught Hundreds of hours of contacting 2 Years As I'm writing this it still doesn't feel totally real and so it's a really strange feeling coming to the end. This is the last time I'll be sending an email as I'm going home next week.  My mission really has been the best 2 years. But it really wasn't anything that I had expected earlier. It has been the most difficult 2 years, the craziest 2 years, and the most peaceful 2 years of my life. I've learned so much and so much has changed in myself and others that it has completely flipped my life around. I thought I knew the blessings of the gospel before my mission but I feel like I've come to actually know it and I've come to actually see the change and the power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ in people's lives.  I've seen and met and made friends with some of the strongest ...

Well I now have officially less than a month left on a mission so that's weird. I would say I have a healthy amount of trunkiness. But you better believe that I'm still grinding every day.  It's been a hype week. I'll just get into the interesting things: -My companion had interviews this past week and while we were waiting at President's house Sister Kumferman pulls out ticket to ride and we had a good old bonding time. The Kumfermans are literally the best and I'm so sad that I didn't have an interview with him this time around. I love them so much. -That night was crazy and we ended up joining a Gypsy caravan. We were walking down a creepy alleyway and next thing we know we're surrounded by gypsies and they're speaking their weird gypsy tongue. We quickly escaped and went across some railroad tracks but there was a very long train on the tracks that was stopped and so we were like "dang" and so we climbed underneath the train to ge...
