LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL

Hey Everyone,

What is Crackin? HAHA Well Everything is just great in Ukraine, I have SOOO MUCH to do. Its a full time job in the office from 9-5 then Missionary Work afterwards and that doesn't count the late nights and early mornings taking care of all sorts of stuff. It's for the blessings :) They greatest thing about it is that doing missionary work is like a great welcomed Vacation. so When we get the oppurtunity it's awesome. Right now we are teaching a Female who is about 25 who is a landlord for one of our couples, at first she just talked to us about business, then she wanted to know why we were here. When the Herrons were here we had a lesson with her and it went well, we Then had a lesson on the plan of salvation at presidents house this last week. She seems to me to be elect but we will see. We have an appointment with president, next week and we will be teaching the Gospel of jesus christ. I'm way excited!! Her name is Victoria. She is a really cool person.
My Day in the Office. . . Depends on the day. . .We have traveling petty cash funds that are scattered all over the mission that I periodically balance and replensh. I Organize president's scedule and I am acting right now as the Mission Clerk so this last week I had a Crash course in Excel and I did all the Budget allotments for each individual branch in the mission. Then I make sure all missionary companionships are registered with the government so I cordinate with or lawyer to get passports and contracts with all landlords. along with that I make sure all apartments are functioning, this week Im looking for a new apartment for a senoir couple because the Landlord is being a Jerkface. Also the same with Elders in Center Dnepr, I found a nice one for them, which means I have to close 3 apartments next weeK! WOW! Pretty much I do anything and everything to keep the missionaries from worrying about it and keeping them doing missionary work. It is alot of work, but it is easy sometimes and sometimes a challenge. I'm learning alot, even things that I can and will use after the Mission. I talk and meet often with the president, I cordinate his schedule and have to get constant guidance and what I do, so that I don't screw it all up. haha It is quite likely.
So I want that song for Christmas, the one with Cody and grant. OK?
I want to hear it so send it one way or an other. My favourite hymn has got to be " Brightly beams our fathers mercy" in English but in Rusian I like "Where can I turn for peace?" or " I stand All Amazed"
Budgets eh? Sweet, I'm staring to get a glimpse of how you feel, This past weeks that is exactly what I have been doing, Budgets for all branches and then I have to adjust them according to how the mission president wants. Crazy Stuff!! I'll be doing the Mission Budget in December and January so that will be a fun one.
Well I saw that talk of dalin H. Oaks at BYUI it was great, I get all acsess to LDS.org since I'm in the office. It was quite wonderful.

My Christmas:to tell yout the truth,I need a new russian Dictionary, it is big and Red and it's the guy who wrote it is Kenneth Katzner. It is a very good dictionary,also ther is a Book called Modern Russian, by Derek Offord, I would like to have some money to buy a new suit, mine is way to big, also a better jacket, I had one given to me but it isn't sufficiant. anyway, Could you Take pictures of just regular life and send them to me, of you guys and the time you are doing. It would be cool to see your faces and how you are doing. I'll make a list this wek and let you know next week but right now those are the only things that come to mind.

And keep reading the word of the Prophets, the are the Words of christ. I hope I ansewred your Questions and that this is a good email.I LOVE YOU PEOPLE!!!
