Zone Conference and Emergency Transfer

Exchanges with Elder Peterson
in Khmelnyskyi

We had a very eventful week this week!

We left to Khmelnyskyi on Tuesday and got there late at night. We had exchanges on Wednesday and I got to spend the day with Elder Peterson. It was a really good day and we got a lot done and got prepared for leaving to Lviv Thursday morning. We got to Lviv and headed straight to the church where we met a bunch of other missionaries. Friday we had zone conference, it was super, super long but really good. We started at 10 am and didn't finish till 6 pm with a lunch break in between. Even though it was so long, we learned so much and after my companions and I had our interviews with President Kumferman. They went really well and I learned so much from President. We left Saturday night on the only train back and it was not so pleasant. It was only 4 hours but we were knee to knee and it was not fun. But we made it home which is what matters.

We got some interesting news concerning our companionship. On Tuesday, before we left to Lviv, we got a call from President Kumferman. He informed me that an elder in a different city decided he wanted to go home so his companion needed a new companion. He told me to hand the phone to Elder Taran who was informed that he would be leaving to a different city so we needed to go home and pack his bags and send them in the mail before we left to Khmelnyskyi. The only problem was we needed to be at the bus station in an hour and a half. So we booked it home and packed his bags and sent em out. It was a super surprising call and we are sad to see Elder Taran leave our companionship. Gonna be hard not having a native to just talk to everyone when there is a problem. So we will see how this goes. But Elder Tuttle and I are super excited to serve together.

Touring Hogwarts University

We also toured "Hogwart's University" here in Chernivtsi today. Super cool and super interesting. First Pday we actually had time to do something so that was good. The Elections were yesterday and things were a little crazy in Lviv while we were there. Saw a massive group of people protesting and hundreds of swat dudes. So ya its gettin pretty heated but it'll all calm down soon.

So excited to watch general conference this week. None of us can wait. Hope there are some super cool changes to continue to strengthen our work as members of such an amazing restoration.


Love you all!
