New Changes, Addresses

My Entry Date into the MTC has now been changed to
January 28th, 2009
as of December 3rd, 2008, due to the cancellation of the Ukrainian language cycle for missionaries in the month of December.
I will leave for Ukraine on April 14th, 2009.

My Farewell will be

Also, here are my Mission addresses for mail!

Well, this is my mission area in the Ukraine Kyiv Mission. To get a comparison, Ukraine is about the size of Texas. So my mission is about half the size of Texas. Fun!

...and this is a picture taken in Kyiv. As you can tell this is graffiti. But the background is that this says "всегgа (всегда) C(hoose) T(he) R(ight)". And всегда means "always."

So this is graffiti saying

"Always CTR!"

:D

Just Preparing

So I thought that this would be a good idea so that everyone could kinda keep in touch with what is happening to me while I'm serving in the

Ukraine Kyiv Mission.

Until I leave, I will be updating what is happening, and afterwards, I think my parents will update it every now and then.

Anyways, I am having my Farewell on Sunday, December 14th, 2008 in Gilbert, AZ at 8:30AM. I will be ordained a Missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Monday night, December 15, 2008. Tuesday, I'm heading to Provo, Utah.

On Wednesday, December 17th, 2008, at 12:30PM, I will enter the Missionary Training Center in Provo, Utah. There, I will embark on my two-year journey on being a servant of the Lord.

I'm pretty excited about it!! Though it does seem weird that I'm leaving in 24 days for 2 years!

I'll be in the MTC until March 3rd, 2009 learning Ukrainian. Though I have heard that I will be learning Russian in the mission field my last 6 months! At least I've studied Russian for some time. :)

Щасливої подерожі!
