You What? You Lose Yer Wits? You Dumbfounded?

That's a fun Russian phrase. I picked it up, not really knowing what it meant, but I figured out how to properly time it. It's really simple in Russian, it's just three words "Ti shto, abaldyel?". It may seem that funny, but trust me, It's hilarious in Russian!

What happened that was interesting this week... I'm not sure. Well, a lot happened, I just don't know where to start, and I'm running out of time shortly!

On Monday we helped Dasha (The one who thinks I speak Ukrainian) set up a new bench at a really pretty spot near a bridge. She just decided that she wanted a bench there, so she built one, and we helped her move the pieces and put them together. It's pretty awesome, I don't think that I've heard of that kind of thing here. Everybody else was worried that people were going to just ruin the bench or throw trash all over the place or something. I just looked at her and said, "Just because bad people are going to do bad things, doesn't mean we should stop doing good things. Then I grabbed my pieces of the bench and we started walking. It was like a movie. If it becomes a movie, I demand to be played by Chris Pratt. Maybe.

Then we went to Zone Training (In Zaporozhe). That was cool, we rode a night train on the way back.

Fast forward to Sunday, I made delicious biscuits! Elder Harris agrees, they're better than Popeye's biscuits. Southern man don't need him around anyhow!

Anyway, going back to Kherson this week, that'll be fun.

Peace out!

P.S. I found the largest spider that I've seen in Ukraine so far on Saturday. It's about the size of a small Texas spider, so I was impressed.
