Hey
It's been a suuuper good week and we had some fun stuff this week. We were gone wednesday and thursday in Lviv and so most of the time we were on a train going there and coming back. Monday night we went to a members house and they fed us burgers and so that was a rare delicasy and they were quite good too so that was great. Tuesday we had a lesson in the morning with a new investigator and we went to another members house that night. We hopped on a train that morning and got wrecked on a 8 hr ride.
Lviv was such a cool city and it actually felt like I was in Europe it was crazy. Imagine that Paris and Siberia had a child and you get a kind of good idea of what Lviv is like. It was really cool. The next day we had a conference for trainers and it was also really good. One of the other trainees ate like 9 loafs of bread and 2 liters of mayo in a week so you could my training has been a breeze. 
We accidentally missed the train by 3 MINUTES and so we had to take a later train around 11pm and so that was an adventure. I got put in a train car with 3 strangers and 2 bunk beds so that was a blast and a good nights sleep haha. We came in friday morning and had another lesson that night with a member and she's the sweetest lady out. 
Saturday was a crazy day and we ended up having 4 lessons in one day which is unreal for us it was so sweet. That's pretty much everything that happened all day.
Sunday was daylight savings and we didn't know about it until the morning and so we were late to church but we redeemed ourselves because we had to teach 2nd hour and it went super well. We also had a member give us a referral which was a cool miracle. Overall an insanely good week. 
Read your scriptures everyday and say your prayers!
My challenge this week is pretty easy so I expect all of you to do it
Write down one question or doubt or struggle that you're having and pray that you'll find an answer during General Conference this week!
Love you all!

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...
