Here I Go Again

I'm in Dnepropetrovsk! It's pretty crazy, I thought I was going to be stuck in the South forever. Now I'm smack dab in the center of the Mission! On special assignment...

My companion is Elder Peterson, he's a pretty cool guy, really smart, likes video games, Lord of the Rings, the whole 9 yards. He and I are now in charge of issuing a language benchmarking system for the entire mission based off of a series of 12 tests that have been used in other missions. We have to review them, update them, distribute them, and grade them. And also create study guides if I'm not mistaken. So, that's a thing now.

I'm pretty glad to be out of my old area and into something new, even though I still can't really believe that I've left there, or that I'm in a big city like Dnepropetrovsk. It's pretty crazy, I don't know what to think about it.

I guess the first thing I'll say is that I have no chair to study in. Well, I have a chair, it's just broken. In fact, first morning here, I sat in it to eat some peanut butter while I studied... and then I was on the ground. That was fun. They told me I can't get a new chair for a while... so I just balance on the old one, which threatens ominously to kill me at all times.

We spend a lot of time with the APs now, because they're in our district. That's really cool because Elder Jensen is now an AP! Woo! 

In other news, I made a delicious vegetable bullion which I'm going to turn into mushroom soup today or tomorrow. Elder Peterson and I have decided that we're going to eat delicious food all the time, which I think is a good decision. He made a delicious borsch yesterday that we ate with the APs. We're gonna eat good.

Well, I think that's it.

Oh, Elder Fuller's in my district as well. Again.

Wait, Was I Supposed to Send One of These?

So, I realize that I haven't sent an email in about... a while. Sorry about that. I am still alive! I'm here, in Nikolaev, still alive!

Basically, nothing really happened these past 3 weeks that I felt like it should be sent out in a mass email. If you're curious, feel free to ask in a personal email, but it might be better to just wait until I get back from my mission to ask about these few weeks of silence.

Anyway, enough of the cryptic email! Time to get into the real email!

So, last week we were in Zaporozhe again. I found out there that I'm leaveing Nikolaev! Soon! Well, sometime this week, but also possibly not this week depending on when President decides to let us know about that. It's definitely a good thing that I'm leaving at this point though, so be excited!

Basically that's all. Yeah, that's pretty boring, I know. Sorry about that. Well...

That's about all I've got.

I played a sick solo on accident when we were stuck in Zaporozhe with nothing to do and visited a music store. I can send that video.

So...

Peace out?

Elder Robison
