What is good!!
Big changes went down!! I got a transfer and am now posted up in a new area called Novi Doma! It's in my original city of Kharkiv, so I still am in the same zone haha. Crazy though! And my new companion is my former MTC companion, Elder Chambers!
It has been SO lit with Elder Chambers.
He is a missionary and a half, super on the work, and he and I have just been killing it this week! Lessons left and right, and you best believe that we put someone on baptismal date for March 6! Sergei gonna get dunked! Pray for my guy!
Funny story. As soon as I got to the new apartment, Elder Chambers told me the hot water stopped working. He made me feel kinda suspicious about that though... So we took cold showers for three days. And I mean COLDDDDD showers. Like lots of screaming and yelling involved. Not to mention, the shower head is broken, so it's literally like we are using a hose to shower.
Anyways, so on the 4th day I walk into the bathroom to, you know, use it, and then the craziest thing happened. A WIRE/PLUG FROM THE WALL DROPS OUT OF NOWHERE. and what's the wire connected to?? THE WATER HEATER. Elder Chambers got me goooood 😂. He had turned off the hot water and hit the wire to prank me, I was DEAD LAUGHING HAHAH 😂.
Honestly, props to him though because he sent it with the cold showers, too, in order to pull that one off haha. It's seriously been one of the most fun weeks of the mission with him haha. We're loving it.
I do have to admit, I was a little sad having to leave my last area. We had SO much going on up in Poltava/Sumy. Not to mention, the members were just amazing. Seriously, the most spiritually strong people I have ever met.
What was really killer, was when I told my Boi Gennady that I was getting transferred (the older man we have on date to get baptized on the first week of March). When I told him, he turned and said, "What?! So soon!?" and I said "Yeah, I know, it's crazy." and then he replied, "So you're not gonna be here in March for my baptism?? :((" I told him that unfortunately I wouldn't, but that I would 100% join the Zoom call to watch it all happen, as well as share a few words." OOOOOF, IT WAS A DAGGER. Gennady is just next level amazing. I left him with one of my tags on his Book of Mormon, and a tie as well. Love and miss him already. His dogs and cat, too, haha.
Anyways, a ton has been going on, but there are some updates for all y'all. Things are great. We're meeting with people, and it's a good, fun time haha. Oh, also, I tried sending someone money through an ATM, and the machine just kinda stole my money, didn't send it, and told me thank you lol. Getting that money back was an experience and a half haha. Also, I think we have the coolest washing machine in the world. Peep the pictures 👀.
Pictures below show how dusty this place is:
Much love,
