Hey everybody. This week was super dry. It's always good
with my man "Big Baby Eller" though. We're working hard, praying for
miracles, and going out and hitting the streets super hard!!
This week was what you call ultra-doggage. We got dogged
literally every single day this week and we weren't able to have any lessons in
Chernivtsi. However, we were able to go to Ivano Frankivsk for a day. We ate at
Decyatkas and it was super tasty. Baby Eller says that I say "super tasty" too
much. I spent the day with Elder Marchenko in Ivano and got to see our grandma
that we talked to every day there. She told me to talk to my boss so that Ican get
sent back to Ivano as soon as possible. She told me to kick one of the
missionaries out of Ivano and to take their place. haha. She's the best.
Other than that honestly, not a ton happened this week.
Our investigator, I'm pretty sure, has blocked our
phone. Not sure why. I hope everything is okay with him.
Here's a story from Elder Eller - about me making him talk to a couple of grandmas on the (terrible) train ride that we took to Ivano Frankivsk. He's a
molodetz..
So this week on the way to
Ivano- frankisk we took a train. There were these women who were sitting across
the way and Elder Stott leans over to me and says, "You won't show them
your magic trick to start a conversation." So I give him a smirk and do
it. In Ukrainian I said, "Can I show you something?" to this lady and
she said, "yesss..." (I didn't know how to say magic trick so I just
said something!) So I did this magic trick where I put a cloth in my hand, it
disappears, and I pull it out of the other hand. These ladies were freaking
out!!!! I did it a few more times and then I realized that almost all of the
people around us were watching now! THEY HAD NO IDEA! I did a few more magic
tricks and all these people on the train were watching! After a while they
started asking us why we were here in Ukraine! That is my favorite question to
get asked. We told them we were missionaries for our Church and that we left
our country to come talk to and teach them. We were able to invite them all to
church and English Practice. Elder Stott wouldn't say it, but him telling me to
show those people a magic trick was definitely a spiritual prompting. All those
people found out a little bit about the Church and why we're here in Ukraine. I
don't know if we'll ever see those people again but I know they will remember
us and they all know where the Church building is now.
Everything is going great out here. I'm content, healthy,
and staying kinda warm.
Have a good week, love you all!
Elder Stott
