5 months

5 months down... Pretty crazy to think about. But time is slowing with the anticipation for my mission, not hearing from ky for a while, and my best girlfriend leaving on her mission. School, work and mission prep keeps me so busy, but time is just movin slow. But I am still happy and just trying to focus on me and my mission.  :) HAPPY FIVE MONTHS
I had candles 1-9 except 5! haha so sad. had to resort to 4+1

Adventures

Well it has been a while! Kyler is doing great. He loves it more and more every time we hear from him. There have been trials to overcome but he always keeps his perspective. I love hearing how close he is getting to the people and the relationships he is making. He is creating some real friends and loves them all. He loves their lifestyle because they are really fun and like to party :) ha but he is bringing them happiness that they can't find anywhere else. I am so proud of him and Miss him a ton!. It is so hard not sharing everything going on in our lives in the moment but we definitely need to have these two years to ourselves! Can't wait to share our memories when we return!
 Entertainment provided by Mom. aka Julie. They launched the parachute guys from their balcony
 Elder Mckinney's Ukrainian clothes. (He returns home February 6! I can't believe we can say that one of Kyler's companions is home from his mission)
 Happy New Year fire works! They had to stay inside for 2 days! Because The Ukrainians love to party so it can get a little crazy.
 Ward Party!

Christmas in Ukraine!

Kyler is having a blast. He has such fun stories. For example, They had a snowball fight with some high school students haha. They got a new Branch Presidency and he really likes them. I'm just glad he loves it there.
"This week was sooooooo awesome. so much fun. i am loving my mission sooo much haha. so fun. i never want to leave."...That pretty much sums it up right there. :)
 Penguin pjs his companion had him wear on Christmas morning.
 Christmas as a Missionary
