Hey Guys.
This week went by super duper fast. Just a couple of highlights
for this week.
Exchanges in Chernivtsi!! It was so weird to be back in my
2nd city another time. Sometimes when I go to old cities and it feels like
everything around me and ABOUT me should change and revert back to what it was
when I was there. But that feeling of progress and becoming better and being
back in an old place with my new self has come to be one of the most rewarding
feelings that I've felt on my mission and in my entire life in general. All
trunkiness aside, it makes me excited to go back to America and BYU and home
and just feel that total shock and also that good version of pride! Like just being
proud of yourself. I don't know, maybe that's still bad haha. Let's just
say it will be interesting to see the difference and changes that have been
made in my life!

This coming week I will hit my 18 month mark.. That's just
crazy. Time is going by way too fast.
I got the chance to study about charity this week and also
give a decently long talk about it in church yesterday. Sacrament Meeting and
Sunday School can both be such an enriching experience when the people who come
are prepared to teach as well as to learn!! I got so much out of both hours!!

There is great progress going down in our area, although
sometimes it can be kinda slow. But resistance is what makes us grow!!
Right now my
studies are taking place in the later chapters of Mosiah. Some of the greatest
teachings that I've learned from the Book of Mormon are in these chapters. Not
a verse should go by without us thinking about how we can apply the things that
we our reading in our own lives.
Have great week
and Happy Thanksgiving. You don't always have to be grateful for each and every
thing that happens in our life, but we should always have something that we are
grateful for in our hearts. Lucky for us, we have a lot of reasons to be
grateful. I'm low on time, but I'll share a story about gratitude that really
hit home for me in my next email.
Have a thankful
week!!!
