I will start right in. The weather has been super hot lately breaking 100 quite often. But as soon as I wanted to complain about it to you all it cooled off and has now been pretty nice so ya I can't complain bummer haha. This next week I get transfer info. It is so weird how fast this transfer has gone. I really hope to being staying with Elder Hilton. He has been really fun to serve with. I have been really blessed with awesome companions so hopefully it keeps t up.
So this week has been an amazing amount of miracles. First of all I went on exchanges up in Kiev with the Zone Leaders because Elder Hilton is District leader. Elder Peterson and I were together and we went to an active family to teach them. They had a daughter who was about 25 and she had just gotten back from the big Ukrine youth conference. It was really big it had youth from 5 missions there. But anyways I asked if she met anyone form Illichovsk and she said she met Anya, Vova, and Alyosha. It was so cool to hear that Vova went also that Alyosho went. I was so happy to hear about it.
Second miracle was on Thursday we went to clean the windows of the church. At the end of it Sergei walked in. We had a lesson planned for 5 but he came to tell us that he wanted to do it early and he felt that we would be here. It was cool. He accepted a soft baptismal date and he said "If I receive an answer and not get baptized that would be foolish." It was really nice to hear him say that. He is good guy and can really remember what we talk about which is cool because a lot of people don't understand the concept of an Apostasty.
Miracle number three. Thursday night I contacted this guy named Igor. He said he was hurrying but turned to Elder Hilton and said in two words or less tell me what the standards of the youth today should be. He quickly told him about the Word of Wisdom and Law of Chastity. We got his number and I gave him a 13 articles of Faith pass-along card. We usually wait until the next day to call people but we called him that night. He told us to call the next morning. Then he said he would call us. So we figured oh one of those people. But he called us and set up for thirty minutes later. We ran to the church and had an amazing first lesson. He said that last night he couldn't stop thinking about us. He herd a voice say "If you meet with them all of your questions will be answered before the New Year." It was so cool. We gave him a date for September 15th and he accepted. He then went on to say the best closing prayer I have ever heard an investigator say. He thanked the Lord for having us meet and asked that we could continue to meet. After the prayer we looked up and he was flexing and leaning back. Elder Hilton asked how he felt and he said "Amazing! I just spoke to my Heavenly Father." It was so cool.
Miracle Number four. On our way to the lesson previously mentioned a guy named Avram contacted us. He started out with I am a believeing person and I know the Prodoslyvian church isn't true. He is from Armania and how amazing is it that we have two Armanian copies of the Book of Mormon in our apartment that we were supposed to give to other missionaries but we ended up not being able to so they got them from somewhere else. He called us Sunday morning and said he will try to come to church. He lives out in a village and the busses don't have a rugular bus schedule on Sundays. Unfortunately he couldn't come.
Quick finish up with two funny stories. We went to a "Mexican" resturant this week to get burritos. It was aweful. They gave me a burrito without any meat but with mushrooms. Ukrainians really need to figure out how to make Mexican food. Also we had game night and this old member came. He is so good at Ping Pong. I was on his team and he kept yelling at me to play better. At one point he took my paddle, put his down, and showed me how I should hit the ball. It was so funny!
