Don't Get Run Over

My time is short today, but suffice it to say, we had a great week! Elder Drasso and I managed to get 14 members present lessons with the help of the Lord. That is the most I'd heard of anybody getting since I got into the field. It was great to be so busy. We also found 2 new investigators. One of them is named Vova. We found his number in our phone and set up an appointment with him. He told us that missionaries used to rent an apartment his family owns, so he's been around the Church before. As we talked with him about what he believes we learned that he already believes in so much truth. He said that he has a Book of Mormon and he's started to read it a few time. He know's that he should read it. He promised to do so and we'll be meeting again on Wednesday. He's a great guy with great goals.

We also learned that there will be 4 missionaries again here in Chernigov starting at transfers this week. We found out last week when the assistants called us to tell us to look for another apartment. So, that's one thing we've been working on as well. It also means that there's a good chance they'll split us up and I'll say in Chernigov with one of the Elders they send up. We'll see what happens. I'll find out tomorrow. Time's almost up, unfortunately. I love this Gospel. I'm so happy to be serving here and to have the opportunity to testify of truth in Ukraine in the Russian language.

For some reason we've been getting fed at random homes. I'm fine with that. We've had a couple days of full stomachs. It's good for a change.

Here's a good quote, "Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there."

Thanks for all the love, prayers and support.
