Well, another good week. A lot of different things happened and we actually saw a lot of success this week. Fist of all, as you can tell from the wonderful title, it was Independence Day this past week. As some of the only Americans here in Lutsk, we decided to go out and celebrate good. So we invited some members and went out to center and did a super solid English Finding activity, where we talked to people about America, gave out a bunch of English Cards, and I even brought out a football and I threw the ball around with some people, so that was quite fun. At one point, one person got super into playing catch with me, that he threw the football way over my head and almost killed a woman, that was super sketch, I think my heart stopped beating there for a few seconds haha. Then, after the activity, we all went out to eat some lunch at a restaurant and I got a BBQ pizza for the holiday that was suppper tasty. Finally, to finish off the holiday, we ended up having English Practice that evening, and so I spent a good 15 minutes or so talking about what we do for the holiday and I even just starting talking about football and we even got on the topic of the Super Bowl. All in all, a super good holiday, hope you all had a good fourth.
Other than that, this past week we actually had a good amount of success finding new investigators. After weeks of not really finding a ton, and contacting a lot, we ended up finding five new investigators this past week, and that was super awesome to see. Also, to kind of top that off, two of the five new investigators that we got actually made it to Church as well. So that was great to see, people are actually taking that next step to come to church and enjoy that, hopefully they start to read the Book of Mormon over this next and start to gain that solid testimony of that awesome Book. Two of the two new five new investigators are actually brothers, Svyatoslav and Vasil. They're super cool people, we found them through English Practice, and we met with them this past Saturday and we taught them about our Church and what we believe and we tried to teach them the restoration, but they really like to talk. But they know a TON about religion and they've studied religions and they want to know more about our faith and what we believe. Hopefully we can meet this next week and teach them the full restoration, they already expressed a desire to read the Book of Mormon, so hopefully they'll start reading that soon. All in all, a good week with investigators, pray for them!!!
The rest of the week was great as well. The weather was super solid this past week, it did not feel like summer, it really felt like Spring, so that was kind of nice when we were outside contacting and doing everything that we needed to do. Our activities this past week were super solid, we had a bunch of people show up to both of them. For our game night, we ended up playing human battleship, so that was super fun, everyone really enjoyed that, I don't think that anyone had ever played that before. All in all, I love the mission life and I can't believe that I only have three weeks left, time to finish strong!! Have a great week everyone!!
