Exercise is Horrible

Truth is found in the statement above.

This last week was Zone Conference on Friday, which was super cool and sad all at the same time. But, that's a different story to be told later on!

On Monday we met with our friend Layla in the park and had a good conversation. She wanted to know more about how we as missionaries get assigned to our different areas, so we explained the whole proccess to her.

On Tuesday we had to go to center to practice a musical number for Zone Conference. We got there, and Elder Mayberry and I were given the music and told to find where the harmony parts were for singing. Upon looking at it for about 5 seconds we determined that there wasn't, nor had there ever been, a harmony part for the voice. So then they told us to come up with one. And we said no and went and found a version of the song that already had the harmonies written out. 

After that we went and hung hammocks in a park with our friend Aleksei and talked with him.

On Wednesday we met one of the most interesting people I've met in quite some time: Bogdan. We've decided that he is a child of the internet. He knows everything there is to know about anything that's ever been put on the internet. And he knows English really well. Probably too well, seeing as he didn't stop talking at all from the time he came until the time we said goodbye to him at the subway stop. We think that some anomaly happened in the connections of the internet and he was created as a result. It's basically the only explanation we have for his existance. He's funny though, cool guy. 

There's this game we enjoy playing with investigators and friends called Bang. It's a cowboy game with cards, look it up. Bogdan ended up being the sheriff and a character called 'Man-with-no-name'. He also assumed that he had no legs because the picture of his character didn't show his legs. He was a nameless, legless sheriff. Wanna know how he lost his legs? "When I was a boy my mother used to bake peach pies. Anyway, I lost my legs in the war! Now, which of you scum is a bandit!?"

Bogdan, ladies and gentlemen. Bogdan.

On Thursday we went to a couple of English clubs. That was good.

Friday was zone conference, which was good. It was really sad to know that this is the last zone conference for most of the people who I've spent the last 2 years working with. I still have one more to go.

Right after Zone Conference, Sister Sullivan thought it would be a good idea to have everybody do a HIIT exercise. That was a torturous amount of squats and jumping for about 12 minutes. It was pretty funny actually. My legs are still sore though. Exercise is horrible. I'm alright when exercise is lifting and push-ups and things of that nature, but this was a whole different story.

On Saturday we had interviews with President. That was really good. Afterwards we had game night.

Sunday we went back to that park after church and talked with more people. It was cool.

We decided on Tuesday that we want to learn Ukrainian. So, now I speak a very small amount of Ukrainian, and I'm constantly asking all of our friends for help learning words and pronunciation. We got some Ukrainian hymn books and we sing in Ukrainian to practice. The Tri-lingual train is about to leave the station!

Well, that's about it.

Peace!
