The first three days of the week were spent in Kyiv, which was a super fun experience. Of course as soon as we got to Kyiv we ran straight to the KFC. AMAZING!
We had Mid-Transfer Training on Wednesday. It went really well and learned so much from President and Sister Kumferman and also the AP's. We also had the opportunity to go to the temple! Finally! It was super awesome. We already want to go back but unfortunately we can't.
On Thursday we had Mission Conference. Holy amazing experience! We were very lucky to have Elder Quinton L Cook come and speak to us. We all got the chance to shake his hand while we were walking into the chapel. We were told to say three things: your name, where your from and how long you've been serving. So when it was my turn I did just that. He then asked me what ward I was in. I said the Lehi 41st Tongan Ward. He said "Oh so do you know my good friend Hutch Fale?" I said of course!! (our stake president) Then later when it was his turn to address us, he began by talking about callings. He then said, "Where is Elder Matua at?". I was shocked. It was soooooooo unexpected. I stood up and he laughed and said "There you are"! Elder Quinton L Cook called me out by name.....WHAT?!! So awesome. He shared how he loves my stake president and loves the Polynesian people. Super cool experience, and a cool experience just having him there in general. Awesome Mission Conference.

Honestly not a very busy week aside from Conference. We had a good P day today. Went bowling of course. Alright day, only bowled a 186. Elder McGrath and I are gonna be pros by the time we get home. We will also be having a branch Halloween party on Tuesday! Super excited. It'll be our last time with Elder Wonson and Elder Volkov. They both got transferred and unfortunately we aren't getting anymore. So Rivne will be a two-elder city. In other words, we got a lot of work ahead of us. It'll be a fun time!
All I got this week. Love you all!
з Любов'ю,
