I've had a lot of awesomes and awkwards this week:
AWESOME
- Phones that allow you to have 20 "meow"ing reminders in one day. Even representatives of the Lord can forget to brush their teeth sometimes...
- Discovering that one of your best friends is PREGNANT and that you are going to be a STEP-AUNT!
- De-humidifiers
- FINALLY TEACHING AN INVESTIGATOR! After 6 long transfers i was finally teaching a REAL investigator, my second of my mission, and even better....in English! *Cue angelic chorus and disco ball*
- The authority and power that a missionary feels when they teach, it's pretty awesome
- Eating dinner out and all of a sudden having a dog jump up right on to your lap! Who needs dessert? I'll take the dog! (1)
- The temple! (4)
- Taking a dinner break on a bench right next to my favorite cathedral in Kiev! (3)
- Thunder rain storms. First of all i just love them. Secondly, it always reminds me of the night that me and my little brother and sister sat outside on the porch at 3am bonding and watching
- MISSIONARY WORK (2)
- Sitting on a Metro and seeing "Life is a Beautiful Struggle" on a T-shirt
- When you sister has a BABY!! Welcome Isla Sorella Eley!! (6)
- When the font isn't filled up for a baptism and the elders are then pulled into a cycle of bathroom sink to font with a bucket to help things along
- Actually meeting with a potential investigator! No excuses, no dogging, but an actually meeting and Sunday stroll through some botanical gardens (5)

AWKWARD
- Walking around trying to find an inactive member and having a ball roll up to your feet and see a little boy running for it with his mother close behind. I seize the chance to be "normal" and kick the ball back to him soon involving myself in quite a good game of kickball. I start whipping out my athletic skills and show him how cool it is to throw the ball up in the air and kick it as hard as you can to see where it goes, no aim, just destiny and wherever the wind blows. He happily follows my example, throwing, kicking, and watching the ball fly until it slams into a car window, bounces off and flies right into a woman's face.....well, there goes that teaching opportunity
- (Look at title)
- Looking more pregnant than your pregant best friend. I mean it's a good 3-4 month baby pouch. Time to whip out the flowy skirts...
- Having your LAST interview with President Klebingat...time! Where did you go? Come back!
- When a 5 minute nap on the kitchen table in the church turns into a 20 minute nap and your waking up to a soaked sleeve and half your face covered in knit sweater and button indentions
- Tasting cookie dough so delisious that it makes you cry. That's the power of brown sugar and vanilla extract for ya
- When you make eye contact with a dog and for a moment, just one moment, you feel that your chahuahua from home is looking at your through the eyes of another....Tsuki? (3)
- Dozing off and on during a lesson with a babuska. The padded chairs, dimmed lighting, the scent of soaking dentures in the air...it's enough to put anyone to sleep
- Having such a bad case of mold in your "Swamp Cave" apartment that quest "find a new apartment" has just begun
- What peanut butter can do do Sister missionaries (2)
- Ukrainian manicans...I think the next couple months of my nightmares have just found a new character...(1)

Say your prayers, read your scriptures, go to church, and don't teach little children how to drop kick a ball. Have a great week!
