Zaporozhe?

So, first off, sorry about not sending an email last week! I didn't have time because of the Weekly Language Tip! It's all good though, I got that out, and it's not my turn this week.

Anyway, 2 weeks ago is a really long time, so let it suffice to say that it was fun and I like my companions. They're pretty cool.

On into last week!

We played frisbee with our member friends again on Monday, and we also ate McDonald's. That was fun because we sat outside and these hilarious little birds crowded around us because Elder Knorpp started tossing out french fries at them. I don't even know how to describe these birds, you had to be there!

On Tuesday we had English practice with one person. That was decently cool. We also got haircuts, mine looks exceptionally good ;)

On Wednesday we traveled to Zaporozhe for Zone Conference. That was cool, except for the fact that, due to a communication failure, nobody was expecting us to be there, so we almost got in trouble for that. Fun.

Anyway, on Thursday I went to teach an investigator that Elder Knorpp and Elder Walker had while they still served in Zaporozhe. Ended up climbing a pear tree to get pears for him, which he promptly gave to us. that was fun in a white shirt and tie!

Friday was Zone Conference, which was cool. I had to translate the whole thing. Less cool. President uses a lot of big words and thoughts that I just have no idea how to translate into Russian. Very difficult.

We didn't do much of anything on Saturday. On Sunday we went to church, which was very good this week because our youth are all back from conference. Then Elder Walker and I made tortillas and spanish-ish rice. It was really good. Then we helped a member who wanted to donate some clothes to a family at church that's from Donetsk. For those not familiar with Ukraine, that's were the conflict is happening.

So, that was my week.

Peace out!
