AYOOOO!!
Waddup yall!! Your boy is officially out of training!! Although it hardly feels like it sometimes. I still got so much to learn, haha. But, so big news big news!! Transfers came!! Elder Williams is being transferred to the Dnipro Zone as a district leader!! So happy and excited for him!! He was the greatest trainer ever and is going to do such great things there!! Meanwhile, I will be staying here in Alekseevka, Kharkiv Zone!! I get the great opportunity to serve with an Elder named Elder Hansen!!! From what I have heard, he only has two transfers left in his mission!! It's most likely that I will be his last companion and be sending him off. I believe he even was trained here in Alekseevka as well!! Which is super crazy. He's coming back here to finish his mission where he started!! At Least I think he started here, I will double check when he comes haha. Apparently, he has AMAZING Russian, so that'll be very exciting and good for me!! Its weird to be changing from someone who was super new in the mission field with me as my trainer, to someone super old in the field haha.
ANYWAYS, SO NOW THE TRACTING!! Elder Williams and I were making our ways from apartment to apartment. While we were on the street, we found someone and gave him an English card!! As we were approaching the next apartment, we got a call from him asking us to come over and talk!! While we were there, he was showing us all his stuff and we just hung out and talked about life and everything!! He gave us some cake, chocolate, Ukrainian coke, it was awesome!! He offered us tea and coffee a couple times, and we had to explain for about 10 minutes that we couldn't drink it. He wasn't really understanding the point 😂. Before leaving, I decided to attempt and share a spiritual thought with him about the Book of Mormon!! During that lesson, I spoke the cleanest Russian I have ever spoken!! My companion said that was definitely the Gift of Tongues working through me. By the enв ща our time together, we convinced him to hold onto a Book of Mormon.
I have so much more I want to write about this week, but I don't have any time, so I will try and write more next week!! Today, we had to go and meet all the other missionaries leaving this Zone in center, and now we are on mini exchanges until the new missionaries come in!! I'm on an exchange with an Elder named Elder Durfey!! He is super cool!! I'll send pics!!
Love, Elder Wilde
