Week Seventeen

I took some questions to church this Sunday and they were all answered. It’s funny because we always tell people to come to church with a question in mind but I have never done it until now. It WORKS! I even got chastened through the words in hymn #221 it says, “Will you not seek for my lost ones, out in the dessert astray?” Try it out :) Love Elder Onychuk

Week Sixteen

Things are going well. Elder Halaphi (from Cape Town South Africa) and I are acquiring more investigators and some of them look pretty good for baptism but we will see how things turn out. One of our investigators said not to come by again because a “very learned” person at her Baptist church told her not to see us. She blindly followed his advice… sometimes I don’t like people. Actually a lot of time I don’t like people, but that is beside the point. I still have been sharing a lot of the December 2010 talk “Fear Not” it’s so good and has become one of my most favorite talks on my mission so far. You should read it. I have been doing a lot of walking. Fun fun. It is good for me (I suppose) I have been slipping a bit in the exercising every morning goal but sometimes I reason that a set of push ups is enough, I hope to hear from you all soon. I’m alive everyone! -Elder Onychuk

Week Fifteen

Ello!! How art thou. well we got the calls for transfers and such and I am staying put, Elder Silva is moving on and becoming a Zone Leader, and I am getting a new companion Elder Halappie (I do not know how to spell it) he is South African so it should be fun. That’s about all that is happening with me but it’s pretty exciting. umm not really much to say not much progress with any investigators, it has been difficult to get in contact with them, oh we do have one new investigator we taught yesterday she is also south African so that will be fun for her and Elder halappie to chat I cant remember her name but I am sure it will pop out when I see it I know it starts with a j... well in closed is a picture of unbaked cookies that I have made last week, enjoy!! :D but ya everything is going fairly well I read the December 2010 ensign and enjoyed it thoroughly it has many great stories and lessons in it my favorite one was "fear not" I think it was called it talked about Mary and Joseph and what the angels advised them and such it was really good. Anyways I’ll be off to write Doug or someone I suppose so have a great week and enjoy yourself! -Elder Onychuk

Week Fourteen

May 8, 2012 Yo how art thou? Things aren’t to shabby now for my I got to talk to President Patch (interviews) and got some solid advice that I will apply to the best of my ability. I got a letter from Travis and Robin and 2 from Malawnie so that was cool hate having to wait for someone to go to London to pick them up but it’s alright for me... I suppose. I didn’t know wards took turns cleaning the Temple :P shows how much I know but it sounds like a wonderful experience. Well I kind of expected that my little nieces and nephews would grow up a bit on my mission :P but that is pretty cool that Ben will receive the priesthood soon :D I shall try to take more pictures but I am trying not to be touristy. Chelmsford is a little ways away from London I would quite explain it as Kelowna and west bank ish because everything is close together here.
