Ready or not here we go! I just wanted to send one last email today since I'm not sure when the next time I will be able to email. I just want to say that I love you guys and thanks again for all of your prayers and support, I am glad I am going to teach people about Jesus Christ and not going off to war haha I can't believe we leave Tuesday morning at 3:30 am! We have been packing and I can't believe how fast nine weeks has gone by! I have enjoyed hearing from Dallin H.Oaks, L. Tom Perry and Russel M. Nelson and so many other members from the 70 and their wives while here at the MTC and I know that they are definitely apostles and disciples of Jesus Christ. It has been a good  time here at the MTC and I am so grateful for my teachers, district and zone but I am so excited to get to Ukraine and help guide people to the light and gospel of Jesus Christ, even though they won't have any idea what I am saying haha 

Oh yeah we got new Sisters and Elders this week for our zone! so we hosted on Wednesday and brought in, I think it was, 750 new missionaries then on Thursday night my companion and I and the Sister Training Leaders got to have a meeting with the new Sisters and Elders that came into our zone. So that was fun getting to meet them! Too bad we only get a few days with them though haha We also did infield orientation Thursday, that was long but it was good and it makes me more excited to get there!  

I remember dad saying "you will forget all of the Spanish you have learned" and I didn't believe him but I have ha and only Russian words come to my mind, but I guess it is a good thing since I will be speaking that for the next two years. haha I love you so much and can't wait to be in Ukraine in less than 48 hours! 

Thank you for the Thanksgiving, Christmas  and other letters and gifts I have loved them. 

Even though I only know a little bit of Russian I am again so excited to serve and love the people in Ukraine! 

Until next time, and I will be writing from Ukraine..

Я тебя люблю!
