Wowzers, what a week!! So many different things happened, I'll try to cover it all, and keep it interesting. The biggest thing is that we went to L'viv this past week for conference and mid-transfer training. Since I'm training again I was able to take part in mid-transfer training, where they pretty much talk about how to be a missionary and what it's like. That was pretty good, President Kumferman had some really good points. Then the next day, we had zone conference, so this past week I spent a ton of time in the L'viv chapel learning and improving as a missionary. This zone conference, we had a big focus on the gathering of Israel and what exactly that means. It's super cool to think that is exactly what I'm doing on my misison here in Ukraine, gathering the lost tribes of Israel. Anyway, it was nice to see all the missionaries and especially see my first son, Elder Matua, he's doing well. All in all, a super good week in terms of conferences.
The rest of the week was pretty good. When we were actually back here in Chernivtsi, we spent a lot of time finding and teaching. We ended up finding a few new investigators this week and met with a few of our current ones. After Church on Sunday, we went out with the other Elders here in Chernivtsi and went out to the walking street and had a finding activity. The finding activity went alright, there was a good amount of people on the street, but it was kind of hard to get a good amount of conversations. We wrote the question, "Why do you pray?" up on a whiteboard and then invited people to come up and write their answer and we had a decent amount of people come up. It's always nice to go out as a district and just contact for a few hours. Luckily, it wasn't toooo cold, so that was a plus.
Finally, to finish off the day, we had a super cool P-Day today. We went out to city named Khamanets-Podilskiyy (isn't that a mouthful) haha and there we visited a super cool castle!! Probably the coolest castle I've seen on my mission. It's about two hours away from Chernivtsi, but we just went for a few hours just to visit and actually to meet with a referral. We don't have missionaries in this little city, so Elder Tuttle and I were assigned to go out and visit her. Today, we met with here and she's super cool, she knows English really good and we had a wonderful restoration lesson. Sadly though she lives two hours away from the closest branch and we can't always visit her. But who knows, maybe she'll jump into the Book of Mormon and get that testimony. All in all guys, a super good week and always glad to be a missionary, talk to you all next week!!
