Hello Family!!
Well, it's been another week here in Ukraine and while
it's fall for you mom, we're definitely on our way to winter here. Or what
American winter would be at least! Don't worry, I'm staying warm, the heat
finally came on so we're staying rather toasty in our apartment. Ukraine has an
interesting heating system. Basically it is hot water running through the pipes.
It's actually really effective.
We had the opportunity to watch General
Conference here this weekend. It was awesome! We watched the Saturday and Sunday
afternoon sessions with the International Branch so we got to see them in
English, and then Sister Chang and I decided to watch the Sunday Morning session
with our local ward. They played it in Russian, so I'll probably watch it again
at some point, or wait for the Liahona to show up...in December. One thing I
thought was really interesting during conference was the music, just some
interesting arrangements, and selections. Life in another language is an
interesting phenomenon during conference. I find when you sincerely pray to
Heavenly Father for help, he'll deliver. Despite my lack of knowledge when it
comes to Russian I still have a page full of notes from that
session.
We've met some really interesting people in the last week. Each
time we met them we really felt that the Lord had lead us there. We're hoping,
praying, and working for a baptism soon, so I hope that we'll be able to share
in someones joy. One sister just came into the mission and had a baptism that
week. What a blessing that is. I remember in my first few weeks in Virginia and
baptizing Norma there, it is an incredible boost to see someone in the waters of
baptism.
There's not much more to say, I'm praying for you! Share the
gospel. Lighten someones load. Love you!
Sister Daniel
PS-
I've sent in a ballot request so I hope to vote in a few weeks!
