9/5 - Blessed Sunday

Sunday, we obviously all wanted to go to church. The only problem was that the directions we were given from the previous teachers were awful and we only had the mission office's phone number which they wouldn't have answered. So what did we do? Got on a bus and tried to figure it out as we go! Our directions told us which bus to take and to get off at the next stop after we saw a purple sex shop (yeah that's right; there's a lot of those around here). So we got off and started heading in what we thought was the right direction. After wandering for two hours, all of us in heals stopped while a couple others went on. Some more time went on and we were going to call it quits when the others texted us that they found it! Two hours late but the next service was starting in 45 minutes! How lucky! We got there and there were two elders and a sister willing to translate for us. It was a branch of about 75 people but just as strong in their faith as any ward. It was amazing to hear all of their testimonies, with it being Fast Sunday, about how they love the church, President Monson, and the new temple dedicated in Kiev. Such an amazing meeting!
