Turns Out It's Week 5!

So, this week was traumatic!

I went back to the other city again this week, this time for the whole week. While we were there I was with Elder Montgomery and his companion. That is, until Elder Montgomery's companion was released for medical reasons and we were then left alone as two 19-year-old kids who have been in the country only 4 weeks and don't speak very good Russian and then told to go do missionary work. Yeah, that was fun...

It actually was super fun though, it's really cool to not have a senior companion around to solve your problems. Builds character. And stress. Lot's of stress.

The whole situation was rendered even funnier by the fact that in about two weeks, I'm probably going to have to train a new missionary! I'm going to have been here 6 weeks, and I'm going to have to teach someone else how to live in Kherson! And the best part? They're going to speak even less Russian than I do!

Just take a moment to appreciate how awesome that is. I'm so excited! It's going to be so much fun!

Anyway, Elder Montgomery is in the same boat, he's probably going to have to train too.

Sidenote, the food we made this week? All delicious!

Also, thanks to those who sent recipes. They will be much appreciated!

Cool thing, the sister missionaries here had a baptism on saturday right after we got back from Nikolaev! Super awesome!

Anyway, happy thanksgiving to all!
