Hello My Favorite People!
Well another week here in Ukraine.
As
always life here is full of adventure. We went to a village this week called
Irpin. The road we drove in on was called Karl Marx street and we found this
huge statue of Lenin. See Picture below. We went there to see a former
investigator who wanted to meet with us. The only thing is she told us that she
couldn't once we got there after standing on a bus for 40 minutes. We then
decided to visit some less actives that lived there. We tried to find one of
them and instead ran into a guy wearing a Yankees baseball cap. I asked him if
he liked the Yankees just to start a conversation and he tried to give me the
hat! He doesn't understand what the Yankees are, in fact, I'm pretty sure the
whole idea of baseball has never crossed his mind. When we informed him that we
had hideous accents because we were Americans his whole demeanor changed.
Suddenly, we were creatures of legend, and he actually tried to kiss my hand.
Then he invited us to come and see how real Ukrainians live. (NO THANK YOU!)
Anyway, on our way out of Irpin we found this really cool lady that wants to
meet with us and talk in English.
Our investigators are doing great. Both
of them (Olga and Luda) have come to church more than they've actually met with
us one on one. Those of you who are recently returned missionaries will
understand how weird that really is. Luda had been in her home town (3 hours by
train away) for the last few weeks and we were worried she would come back with
no desire to meet with us. We were pleasantly suprised to see that in fact she
read the Book of Mormon with her family, and read a lot of Doctrine and
Covenants and all of the Pearl of Great Price. She's awesome!
We got to
help our members build their house, that is really fun.
The work rolls
along...
Love you!
Sister Daniel
