Hey, What's Up!

Alright well this week was a bitter sweet week huh? ya well Im sure glad that our family is in the church thats what i have to say. I guess i didnt really realize how dope our family is cause we all go to church every week. We all have callings of some sort and we all know the one thing that matters most. God loves the smokes out of us! Thats why he gave us all the chances in the world to progress be happy and in the end party it up with him in his house. haha im so thankful for you guys being good and staying in the church. you are the best family in the world. lets all try a little harder to be better so we can see Angel Grandma again :) Im pretty sure her spirit is around us all the time. Dont you love that!? Now since we have her (the big guns) im pretty sure were all going to make it back. :) What a wonderful lady. I love her so much. But now she's with Grandpa and thats awesome:)

Well this week was pretty good until two days ago. transfers are coming up and guess what. Im getting transfered out of the office. I guess i was just way to good for the office. haha no jk. But they are kicking me out and throwin me out to Sochi. haha!!!! ahhhh yeeahh. Sochi is a tight place but i wasnt ready to leave Rostov. ESPECIALLY cause my comp and I set another baptismal date last night with our investigator David. He is Irinas (the one that just got baptised) kid. He is 19 and he is the bomb. So he is getting baptised the 19th of November. Too bad ill be long gone by then. :( but oh well it will be alright. He still counts as a baptism for me :) he is so cool. We are taking him to the market today so i can go buy a shapka!! one of those russian hats haha. So ya thats what im going to be doing today. He is way cool and he is getting really close to being ready to be baptised. but not just yet. so im way excited for that.

Ya but so ill be heading to sochi at the begining of next month. President changed my transfer the day he told me. Originally i was goiing to still be in the office but then he decided i was cool and that he liked me and sent me to the warmest place in the mission for the winter :) haha president is the bomb. He is hooking me up way hard core with sochi. it is the place to be here in our mission so im stoked for it. Ya so thats the big news for this week and all that good stuff. Thanks for all the b day wishes.! President called me on my b day and sang to me with his wife and daughter. Not the best song i have ever heard but it was way cool that they remembered. Well he better remember cause me and sister nechipirova share the same bday cool huh :P ya anyways that was fun to have the same bday with her. and sister price had me over for dinner and gave us apple pie!!! agghhhh it was the best! so ya birthday week was the bomb.

ya so this week was good. I love you guys tons. Keep up the partying. Do lots of dumb stuff. But not too dumb. 

 drive fast and take chances :)

HEY

Hey well another week has flow by. The mission is good and is treating me well. I got over my flu bug and now im back in the office burning up the keyboards like a good office missionary haha. lame, but oh well what can a guy do?. So everything has settled down and not much has been happening since the baptism. Life is back to normal except for zone conference on thursday. that was alright. the best part about it was good food for lunch. Sister Nechiporova made mashed potatoes and Meat loaf. way good. And since i was sick she gave me and my comp the extras to take home. SCORE! haha that was nice cause we dont cook that good at all. haha. we are on a meager diet of missionary 5 second meals haha. Which isnt horrible but isnt amazing either. :) but oh well. And while on the street the other day a subway worker was on the streets handing out ads and she gave me and my comp a handful of 50% off of the menu ads so we went to subway and drank MT DEW!!haha  that was the bomb. Mt. Dew is a sign from God that he exists and that he loves us. I think the first presidency should come out with that statement and make it scripture :) So all in all you can tell how the experience was :) But other than that we have been working with Irina which she is doing good. She went to conference and she loves President Monsen. She said she laughed way hard when he first spoke. President monsen is the bomb! what a stud. Anyways conferece was great. Us missionaries had to watch it on a laptop in the office and stream it from online. but that alright it still turned out good. On sunday we ended up watching conference for 6 hours in a row with conference and priesthood session. wow that was a long time. but it was good and Elder Holland threw down the hammer! Holy smokes! haha what a stud. If you didnt listen to that one you need to . cause it was way good. Well shoot im glad i got to see conference finally.

well i guess im about through with writing.  there isnt much to tell you about me. cause nothing is new. haha. Well shoot im outta here.

Love you tons.

Drive fast and take chances.

Sup

Well shoot whats up. Well i am one tired dude elder Guy person. My visa trip was bomb but, it was way long. I spent a total of 36 hours on a dang train going from Rostov all the way to Kiev Ukraine. But Kiev was the bomb and it was worth the trip. Cause i got to see the Kiev temple and it was the bomb. And i might or might have not been able to go to a session in it :) it was bomb. And it is now my fav temple its the bomb. So ya that was way fun and ill send you guys some pictures. Alright well now for the big news! Irina is getting baptized this saturday. ahhhhh yeeaaaah. And even cooler she asked me to baptize her.! Dope. So she is getting dunked this saturday at six. So that will be cool. And it was really cool cause i left rostov on the 23. Which if no one knows that was my year mark. Also Dope! And she was the normal irina. But when i got back from the temple/ visa trip i came back and she had her interview and she has changed so much it was kinda scary. But in a good way. So thanks for everyone praying for her and all that good stuff. I know you have been. :) So thanks. So im pretty excited. Alright what else to tell you.

Well yesterday was really sad. I guess with the good comes the bad. One of the elders here got sent home. He was really a cool kid, and it was sad to see him off. President had him stay with me the night before he left and we talked alot. And it reminded me of what happend to me. It was way hard for me and i could see it was way hard for him. We talked for a long time about stuff and he seemed a little better off after we finished. I felt for the kid. It was hard . And it wasnt fun. But i got the kid laughing and we called his parents and told them what was happening. They told him exactly what mom and dad told me when i came home. We still love you. And i almost started bawling when i heard them say that over the phone. Freak im such a baby haha. I guess it just brought back some memories. And i wrote him a letter and gave him the little black Jesus the christ book that brother Nelson gave to me. You guys remember that? Well Bro nelson gave it to me when i was in a bad part of all that stuff i went through. And i knew it would help him like it helped me. i told him what the book meant to me and told him to take care of it and pass it on to someone that could use it after he is done with it. It was way hard giving him the book. But i know he needed more than i did. Ya so that was a rough night. Then we woke up at 4 this morning and got him to the airport. i hope he makes it back.

ya sad crap. but oh well, stuff happens and we cant judge anyone. Thats what i guess i learned from this experience. cause we all have been stupid in life and we all deserve a couple chances. Maybe even 3 or 35. God loves us. thats all that matters. Ya anyways so im glad i could help the dude though. I guess i went through all of that crap for a reason. Weird how everything works out like that huh? ya. Well I love all of you. I better get going. Everyone be good and dont die i like it when your alive. haha

Well im out home dizzle.

Drive fast and take chances.

here are some pics from the temple and another pic at the end is of the main street here in rostov. where i contact. Pretty dope if i do say so myself :)

Well enjoy!

Hey

Hey guys so anyways im in a not wanting to write mood haha. So this one will be short and sweet. Alright so this week was a little bit better than last week. irina #1 has turned back around and she is doing great. she has even been bringing her son to lessons. we had two lessons this week pretty cool. and her son is training to be a veteranarian or however you spell it. Not important. :) anyways so he is pretty cool. So we have re set a baptismal date for the 24th. She just needs to get work off. gee things are hard when your trying to get someone baptised. Ya anyways but we have a baptsim today. Her name is Galina. The elder from an area called zapadny is doing the whole deal. it will be cool. Me and my comp spent a hour last night cleaning the baptismal font. it was way gross cause i found out that the little kids found out how to get in there. so there was little kid foot prints all over haha. prettty funny actually cause if i was little i would have done the exact same thing. :) Anyways so Galina is way cool and im glad the elders found her cause she is way awesome. At family night last week she told me that i dont have an american accent. She said my accent is ukranian. So that was a big pride booster hahaha jk no but i guess my Russian is progressing. Hopefully ill get the full Russian accent. its way hard. Hopefully by the end of this crazy thing called a mission ill be 100 percent russian. haha. Ya so that was pretty cool of her. But last night i got a call from an old investigator and his wife and we went walking with them in the park and talked about life and how everything is going. and he is interested in talking to us again. So hopefully everything with him goes well. His real name is alaeg but americans never can say it right so he goes by alex. pretty funny :) But last night was way fun. And i love being here at night, especially since its getting darker and darker every week. I guess im a night owl. ya but this week was sister prices b day. She is int he office with us. Her and her husband are the senior couple here. We went and bought her a dozen white and pink roses and put them on her desk. She loved it. She is such a sweet lady just like grandma bell and wright. She pretty much feels like my grandma cause she takes care of us so well. She is always bringing us juice or a treat. haha. so we made sure to take care of her on her b day. i think i sent you guys a picture of them last week. ya but anyways that was this week. Just the office work, some stress and a b day party :) pretty alright i guess.

 

Oh so i have another visa trip this week to ukrain this time im going to the kiev temple cause my visa got all messsed up i guess. So ill be in kiev from saturday to tuesday. So im not sure when ill be able to write you guys next. So just know im not dead or something :) Ill take some cool pics for ya. Anyways ill get outa here. i have to go pay our utillities. fun fun fun. hahah

 

love you all have a good week

 

Drive fast and take chances.
