Week 4

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

For real this time! Ukrainians celebrate New Year's on the right day! It's kind of bad though, because it means there's going to be a lot of drunk people. Like, an unimaginable amount of intoxicated Ukrainians will be filling the streets after 5 O'clock this Thursday. Even more than the usual amount that are out on the streets anyway. We're not allowed to go out and contact with people after 5 O'clock, because it's going to be that bad. So that's fun!

I spent the majority of this last week with Elder Montgomery because Elder Ditty was in Днепропетровск. I'm not sure, but I think I've spent enough time with Elder Montgomery to fill an entire transfer, so I'm not sure if I should count him as having been one of my companions while on my mission. I think he'll at least be added to the honorable mentions list. Of course, I still have a lot of time left on my mission. We could end up being official companions at some point with how few people are in our mission! I also have a good chance of serving with Elder Fuller again, which would not be the most exciting thing I've ever done...

So, somehow we ended up with 2 new investigators last week! We met both of these people while visiting a less active member in our branch. It was pretty crazy! Totally unexpected! Especially since one of them agreed to be baptized! We thought they were going to come to church, but neither of them came. Hopefully this week!

On a side note, I made fried chicken on Christmas Eve! I made some waffle batter, floured some strips of chicken breast, battered them up, and fried them! They were delicious! Also, drank hot chocolate through Контик, highly recommended; made MANCAKES, which are like pancakes only 5 times more intense because you dip them in the batter 5 times; made lemon sherbet by total accident, I won't say how; and we made chicken fajitas, which we ate on pieces of fry bread for extra deliciousness!

On Christmas we got to Skype our families, which was awesome! It was even more awesome because I had just barely received a Christmas package from my Mom literally 10 minutes before the call. I got to open presents with my family! Technology is awesome, high-five for technology!

I'm not sure what else I can say, other than this week is about to get cold. It's going to drop from 55 today, all the way down to 33 tomorrow... and then it's going to keep on dropping... So that's about 10 pounds of nope in a 5 pound bag.

Peace out! Don't freeze!
