So, something I almost forgot happened recently, outside of our bathroom is a small charred region where there used to be a spider. I saw the spider, but it moved too fast for me to kill it conventionally and hid beneath a crack. I could still see it's leg though, so I knew it was still there. Undaunted, I grabbed the can of hair spray and the lighter that Elder Kalt had left behind in our apartment and proceeded to rain down with fire and brimstone upon this spider. He is dead now. A charred spot marks the place where Elder Robison was victorious over the spider in the bathroom.
Other than that, we had a good week! We were on the street most of the week talking to people.
On Monday I finally made borsch. I had no recipe, but that wasn't a problem, I just threw all the ingredients in in the order that Elder Mayberry and I decided was correct, and lo and behold it was correct! We got borsch!
Tuesday saw a huge group of people for our English practice. It was a really big group, and pretty fun.
On Wednesday we had district meeting, and Dasha made pancakes for our district and left them in the kitchen for us. They were really good. They were so good, that I needed more pancakes, so I made a ton of pancakes for lunch that day.
On Thursday we did weekly planning, but I got distracted because I found out we have to go to Zaparozhe again on Wednesday, so I had to call around with Elder Ditty to figure out our travel arrangements. We're both pretty done on the whole working with the AP's thing, so we're just going to take care of things ourselves from now on.
I fixed one of my socks while I was on the phone, and then during dinner I discovered that I can use our spare whiteboard to draw things. So I drew stuff.
Nobody came to English practice except Dasha, so we talked to her for a bit. Then Olya showed up about 30 minutes late. Then they both left and the rest of our English class showed up in time for Game Night.
Friday was a lot of contacting, but that afternoon one of the Germans found us on the street and invited us back to his house to eat borsch. So we did. His mom makes really good borsch, so I stole her recipe to combine it with mine and make the best borsch!
Saturday was a lot of contacting too, and then we went and visited a member in the hospital.
Sunday was really good, and we ended up visiting that member in the hospital again that night.
Today, we played frisbee again! Woo!
Going to Zaparozhe once again, should be cool! I really hope this situation gets changed so we can stop taking the 6-10 hour ride to Zaparozhe...
С Днём Независимости!!

So, this one requires back story.
Wednesday, we were walking home, when we passed by this group of women. One of them looked at me and leaned over to her friend and whispered "Он такой красивый!", "He's so handsome!". I thought I heard wrong, but Elder Mayberry heard it too.
The next day, at game night, our friend Sophie was telling us how when we sent out our reminder text for English practice one of her friends at the office saw my picture (because appearently that's linked with our phone number on her phone). This led to about and hour of half of Sophie's office coming up to Sophie, asking to see the picture, and then asking how to meet me. "You should have a lot more people that want to come to English practice now." is what she said afterwards.
Elder Mayberry and I can't figure out what's going on, so I described it with this comic.
This is the story of the charred spot where the spider USED to be
This is a half-loaf sandwich. Ya take a loaf of bread, circular is preferrable. Ya cut it in half and hollow it out. Then, you fill it with meats, rice, lettuce, and sauce of choice. Take the bread that ya already removed, smack it all over the front to seal in the delicious filling, then, BOOM! Half-loaf sandwich. Enjoy.
This one is just a funny. The time between starting rice and eating it is used effectively in our house.
