Another sweaty week has come and gone very quickly. It was 29 degrees inside when I got up at 5:30 this morning. Very warm. I was in Kiev for a leadership training meeting. That meant that I spent 9 hours on a train on Thursday and 12 on Saturday. Makes the time go pretty fast.

In addition to that I was on exchanges with another Elder this past week for another day. It makes things pretty crazy. It seems like we don't have time to get what we want/need done, but the work goes on. We have an investigator with a baptismal date for this Saturday named Vitaliy. He's from Moldova and is looking forward to this weekend. He feels that he needs the support and protection that the Lord and His Church provide. Miracles are happening in our mission and it's a privilege to see the Gospel of Jesus Christ change people's lives.

I truly feel it a privilege to be serving here at this time. We have such a great group of missionaries here and we are lead by a great, inspired mission president. I'm learning everyday.

I feel and appreciate your prayers. Thank you.

Love,

Elder Mahoney
