Elder Dillon Stott - Ukraine, Kiev Mission: Week 86

January 14, 2019

My wondrous family, hello.

This week was great. Conference was so awesome. We talked a lot about the gathering of Israel and it's for sure one of my favorite topics. My interview with President Kumferman went really well. I have so much love and respect for that man and know for a fact that he is called of God to be serving here as our Mission President!

We rode a bus back from the conference and it was a double-decker. We got the front seats on the upper level, so it felt like I was sitting in the driver's seat of a super tall car. It was cool for about 5 minutes and then my legs fell asleep crammed up against the window and I got kinda claustrophobic. It got super hot on the bus and windows got all built up with fog and started dripping on me. It was pretty miserable in all honesty. But still kinda fun.

We had a magic night for our game night and Elder Matua and I showed a couple of magic tricks. One of the girls there came and asked me why I was so bad at them and why Elder Matua was so much better. That was my dose of humility for the week!!!

Transfers are coming this next week, and we'll find out on Friday who is going where! Crossing my fingers Elder Matua and I will get another transfer to serve together here in Rivne.

All of our investigators are finally getting back from vacations and having been gone over the holidays, so hopefully things are going to pick up a little this week. We're going to try to set baptismal dates with all of them!! I haven't seen any of them in almost 3 weeks, so we've been pretty empty for the past while. I'm ready to work!

It's FREEZZING cold here. -17 degrees. I can't wait for spring time. Missionary work here reallllyy slows down in the wintertime and it's starting to get a little annoying, but we're grinding through it all!!
