My Life In Kyiv

In Kyiv we use the Metro (subway) to get around

Our Front Door

We have an elevator in our building there are 16 floors we are on the 10^th floor

This is where I go to send emails, it is this huge place with probably 100 or so computers

The store that we shop at called NOVUS

The Church is on the second floor of this building.

Welcome To My New Home....At Least For The Next Few Months!

View from our 10th floor apartment

We have a VERY nice kitchen

This is our living room

When missionaries have to come into Kyiv and stay the night somewhere they usually stay at our apartment they sleep on the floor in this room. We have some mattresses aka the things that you blow up to take to the pool with you to float on, that they use to sleep on the floor. They stay with us because our apartment is close to the mission office and also because it is by far the nicest apartment in the mission. When I say nice it is nice. We just paid rent on it the other day and it was 8000 griven. My last apartment was only 1300 griven. A little bit of a difference right, well 8000 griven is roughly about $1000 USD. CRAZY!
My apartment actually has one bedroom with a king sized bed, I sleep on the mattress that is in the couch. I pull it out each night and put it in the door way so I can see my companion, next transfer I get the bed!!!!

Our shower is huge and we actually have two bathrooms. One has a huge bath tub in it that I think I can probably go swimming in.

Don't worry I still use toilet paper!!!!
