June 14: letter to Sandra

I just have to tell you it still seems unreal that I am actually in L'viv.  I am super excited for this transfer, well, for everything!  I have an amazing companion!  She is beautiful and fun, and she speaks Ukrainian better than I do!  We are planning on baptizing, and we are planning on working as hard as we can to strengthen these wonderful people who live in this fabulously beautiful city!  We had a great lesson this week. (well, not just one....) It started with Pres. Molonos asking our investigator if she was progressing.  Well, during our lesson - she asked us if we wanted her to get baptized.  Strangely enough, I've never been asked that before, and Sister Robinson and I almost jumped out of our seats with excitement as we explained our feelings to her.  She is a beautiful lady.  She still has some concerns, but we are praying for her and planning for her miraculous change!  I love baptism too!

It seems strange to be all the way out here...almost another country...they all speak a different language too!  чистий Ukrainian! I feel so blessed; my whole mission I have been rewarded with blessings, and I am just amazed at the mercy of the Lord.  Well, this week (after being contacted by 4 Jehovah's Witnesses) my appreciation of the restoration has grown even more.  What a great blessing!  I am thankful for the Prophet Joseph Smith, for the Book of Mormon, and for the Priesthood.  I am especially grateful that I have a testimony of the gospel.  So, thankful that I want to share it with anyone!  Well, those who will accept it and partake of the amazing blessings available; the blessings God wants all of His children to have!

I have a great district!  I don't know what to say about them.

Things are great and busy, and I'm just trying to learn the will of the Lord for me!  Missionary Work is the greatest!

It sounds like you had a fun week.

Maybe I'll run a marathon with Will next year.

What think you?

How are you?

I hope you are happy and not stressed.  How many weeks is a pregnancy?  What craziness.  Thank you for doing all of the hard things before me!

I love you. You can lead me in my life when I get back!

I just wish there was more time in a P-day.  I would write everyone who has a special spot in my heart, everyone that lives in the great city of Russellville and Mountain Home.  Can you sacrifice a few minutes for me and do that?  I love you!

I love them, and it hurts my heart not to be able to thank them!

So, I live vicariously through you!

I cry every time I don't get to tell you how dear you are too me.  You are so amazing!

I'm excited to have a niece!

Love you lots!

Have a great day!
