Arrival

I have a few minutes just to say that I've safely arrived in Kiev, Ukraine! My flights all went well and I had a great conversation with a Danish man on my flight to Frankfurt. We talked about a lot of great Gospel topics. He was very open and willing to learn. Today we rode on the metro and contacted some people. I placed a Book of Mormon in Russian. I am so blessed with the opportunity to be here. I feel completely peaceful and I am surprised that I feel completely calm, even when I was talking to strangers. Today I had several moments where I had an overwhelming feeling of love for the Ukrainian people. I can't describe it. I told one of the assistants to the president about it and he said, "Oh yeah, there's something special about them. I don't know what it is, but there's something different." I am so happy to be here and excited to meet my trainer tomorrow. My Mission President and his wife, Pres. Lane Steinagle and Sis. Jennifer Steinagle, are great! We had a nice dinner Sister Steinagle cooked us this evening. I saw the Kiev temple today too. It's amazing. I feel a special excitement about the work here. Praise the Lord.

 

From Ukraine with love,

Elder Mahoney
