I LOVE THE UKRAINE

Hey Everyone,
Well this week was pretty exciting, I'm coming along slowly in the language. So now I can understand when they say hello( sometimes)My Companion Elder Shurtz is the District leader so we went on exchanges this week with the zone leaders. It was great, I Anointed oil for a blessing, IN RUSSIAN!! It was crazy, This week i've tried all sorts of ukrainian food, I Love It!! Bortsche (? i don't know how to spell in english) I love kvass, it's a weird drink. anyway, It's all really good.I'm always talking to people, so sometimes my companion comes and rescues me from a conversation i'm lost in hahahahaha, almost every one.There is one thing that I have learned, People of ukraine love pictures, of everything, so If you could send pictures of all of you, grandma and grandpa, of all aunts and uncles, the big family picture at davis family campout, our house, dog's people playing sports. . .etc. . I need pictures of you all. . everyone!!! It helps with teaching the gospel, so I need them ASAP :) I would really appreciate it!!! A package would be so awesome!!!, Send it through priority mail, only write this. .nothing else. ..serious
