New Area-Kharkov

Hello Fam,

This week seemed like such a long week, last monday seems like for-Ever ago..but it was a good week, at the beginning of the week I packed my stuff and met with a few people for the last time, like Semion and Azeez and Abraham, we tried to meet with John but everytime we tries he was busy or not answering or something, but we called him and I was able to say congrats and goodbye over the phone. I din't think I would be too sad to leave Luganask ha but I am glad to se more of my mission. I got transfered to..drum roll please,,Kharkov! or Harkov, the place where everyone wants to be, becasue it is so nice and there are awesome Rinoks (farmer marker type things and they sell ties and other random stuff) Our Branch in in the новые дома area and our proselyting area is Odessa. We have a way nice single house, I will show pics. Back to Lugansk for a sec, we had youth night and made some Blinok (like crepes) for one of the young men in our branch, so that was fun but then we were helping the other Elder's carry stuff home and Alexander started followin us. we walked faster and he walked faster, then we stopped and said dont you live that way and he siad that he had moved then we got close to our house and he was still behind us so we walked past our appt down a different street, then we couldnt handle it anymore and with all the russian I know..(I dont know that much) I turned around and told him he needed to go home and he cant know where we live and he said he "HAS" to know where we live so we just said no and he got a little scared at me freakin out at him and we said alright bye now and he got mad and left ha so we waited until he wad gone and went and dropped off the stuff, he is crazy haha but we were safe.
But yeah we got some natives in our mission now, becasue Russia didn't want Ukrainians in their country, so Ukrainian missionaries were kicked out and came to our mission, so we have like 5 or 6 native missionaries 2 being sisters and they all seem so cool, I hope I get to swerve aroudnd them sometime! 

My comp is Elder Claypool, he is from Washington state and has been here for just as long as Elder Newey, so he also goes home in June. He is an intersting fellow, a great missionary just different. He likes theater and poetry, so yeah ha but yeah he is nice. 

We went tracting and this dude Саня (Sonya) let us in, He has had drug and alcohol problems and most of his family has left him, so he wants to change, we met with him another night and he had read the Book of Mormon and his appt was a little cleaner< I think his mom did it, his mom is way cool and sat in on the lesson with us so both of them have high potential. 

We also had district meeting and I got to meet my district they are all pretty old and seem to be cool, so there are 3 sets of Elder missionaries, including us, and a set of Sister missionaries. So it will be a cool district. On our way to district meeting we talked to this guy who said he had drunk dhis money away and has tried many churches and wants help, so we are gonna meet with him and he seems really cool too.
then on our way to church yesterday we were walking and this lady, Нина-Nina, stopped us and said aren't you guys mormons? and we said yes and she said I was baptized in your church, so we talked to her for a sec and find out she was baptized when Harkov had just opened (almost 16 years ago) became relief society president for the branch then moved to Italy for work, She didnt find a ward there so she became inactive, when she moved back her (in our area) then she didnt know/didnt look for a branch here, we were able to meet with her later in the day and she is so so nice, lost a little bit of faith but she is aweseme we actually saw her walking as we were on our way to internet this morning. She also gave us delcious homemade honey.

Church yesterday was awesoem, the branch is huge and the people here are incredible, there is a different feel here! I love it. My comp plays the piano so we went to do theopening part of primary and helped them practice a song for Easter, there were like 10 kids and they are all so cute and so funny. 

It is an awesome area and I am excited to be here, We are safe and yeah so love you all have a good week! 

love Elder David Witt
