This week flew by! We were lucky to see many miracles this week. My favorite day this week was Friday. It's confusing to me because so many things went wrong, but went right at the same time. I'll just take you through my day-
We made brownies for the family we were going to visit that day and as we were packing them up we had the thought- what would happen if we gave Baba Anna a brownie? And suddenly extra brownies were added and we were off. We were early to Baba Anna's (which never happens) and she was so happy to see us! Her blood pressure was good so we gave her a brownie (which she called a brownik) and she popped it in her mouth and her face lit up like the sloth's on Zootopia and she just yelled "OM NOM NOM", which I think is pretty universal for she liked it. We left her a couple more to enjoy and we went to the members who live out in the boonies. It took us like an hour to realize that we were on the wrong street waiting for a certain bus which obviously made us late. We finally found the right bus on the right street and got on. We only knew what the name of the stop we needed to get off at- not at all what it looks like. I knew it had to take a turn first though so the first stop after the turn I asked a man behind me if it was the stop and the guy next to him said no- It's the next one but you have to hurry cause he won't stop unless he hears you (we're in the very back) and we'll be there in a few seconds- GO! And so we went and barely made it and we had a great time with the family who speaks like perfect English thank goodness and they were so cute. They made us sign a contract saying that we had to visit a second time before we get transferred out. We had to run out because there was a baptism we invited someone we are teaching to attend and even though we left 30 minutes before it started, we were only 15 minutes late! We got all the buses we needed which never conveniently line up with our schedule, but they did that day! They had just started! When we walked in. Unfortunately, our gal wasn't able to make it, but she called us to set up an appointment this week so there's hope for her. The baptism was wonderful and it was really motivating to get the people we are teaching back on track for baptism. After the baptism, a different person we are hoping to teach more came to say goodbye to an elder who was leaving and offered us a ride home. We accepted and we drove home as their 4 year-old danced to Abba all the way home. It was pretty epic. I dare say one of the hardest laughs of my mission. He was definitely going for it.
On Saturday we were English contacting and as we're talking to an interested girl, This 70 year-old man comes up to us and tells us we need to leave (because Ukraine isn't safe or something) in Ukrainian. It was funny cause the girl understood, we didn't, and she was defending us and hiding behind us and this man was not leaving us alone- in the end he offered his 43 year-old son to me and I politely declined. We quickly left. Things are still fun in Ukraine. We went to the temple and that was cool too. I love you all so much and I know that our Heavenly Father is a God of miracles. He loves each one of you! Have amazing weeks!
