Abraham's Homecoming

July 13, 2009

Hey,

That is cool that you got to go to the Abrahams homecoming. Haha that is so crazy that they are home. What else did they say? How many missionaries were there? That is cool that you got to see Sessions. Haha my papa! He is awesome. But anyways i made it down here to the Crimea finally and it is really awesome already. We took a fetching 8 hour bus ride from dnepr to here all night so i got here at 6 am on saturday and then at 8 we got to go to another city in the zone called evapotria or something like that in english so i got to see the Sea. It was really cool. Haha i felt like i was in hawaii for a little bit. But yea i think being Zone Leader in the Crimea is the best place to be because you get to go to all of the cities and the other missionaries cant. But its a lot cleaner than Zap is that is for sure. I think the work here is a lot different and alot harder but whatever. There are quite a few members here though and 256 on the roll but only about 60 come i think. I cant believe how many inactives there are in this country. There could be like 3 branches here if everybody came. but people get offended so easy its ridiculous. So dont get offended!That is funny that President talked about Pasha. Pasha is awesome and knows so many words haha. The new mission president is probably the exact opposite of President Abraham. He is quite and doesnt have as much energy but he is awesome. You can really feel the love that he already has for us here. But anyways leaving zap sucked kind of. It is hard because you get to know the people so well and then all of a sudden you have to leave them. But its a part of life and it just keeps on going. The packages are here but i didnt want to haul them down here with the rest of my luggage and President is coming on wedensday anyways so i am just waiting. My apartment here though is quite nice and i even have a queen size bed. Haha i dont use it all since i cuddle up with the wall but its there to use if i want. My companion though is Elder Hertz who i have known since the beginning of my mission in nikolaev and then in zap as well. He is awesome and i am glad to get to be with him. Well anyways that is about all that is going on around here for me. Its sweet to be here and i am grateful the Lord has blessed me and sent me here to the wonderful land of the Crimea. Hope all is well for you.

Love you guys.
