Well Family,
I am now in a new area that was just opened up a transfer ago in a mining town called Mikevka. We dropped by our apartment on the way to internet and it looks like there may be some 'remont' ing to do.Thats what they call it when people remodel there homes or fix them up every couple years. Its a huge apartment but its definitely old! Right now we have a bath tub to drop buckets of warm water on our heads with. Someone duck taped the windows to try to keep the warm air in. I think this is going to be quite an interesting transfer:) My companion is now Elder Brady who goes home this next October so he's been out for a while. He's a great guy so it should be a good winter working with him. So far they have two pretty good investigators to work with who will probably get baptized soon. We have some serious street contacting and dome tracting to do though to get this area moving. Im excited to see the growth that can come from this area. It is much different than any place i have yet seen here in Ukraine. There are many old, seemingly abandoned factories here with huge pieces of old rusted machinery laying around. I'll have to take some pictures when i get a chance so i can show you all. Well, thanks for all the support. I know that your prayers are helping me and that i need to just keep pushing forward. During some of these hard times, it is nice to know that i have my family and even more importantly, the Lord that i can rely on. I love you and i pray for you too. I hope all is going well that you have a great week ahead of you.\
With love,
Elder Ostler
