I'm honestly not sure what to write about this week. I normally type up the title first and that determines the flow of what's going to happen for the rest of the letter. Currently the title is unwritten, and I'm rambling on in an attempt to give myself enough time to remember the important things that happened this week. I'm not sure if it'll work or not.
I'll mix things up a little bit by kicking Monday out of the week instead of Friday.
Tuesday we taught Lyuba. After that we went with our friend Eddy to the forest to make shashlyk with him. Shashlyk is an Arabic (I think it's Arabic) food. It's similar to a shish kebab, but it's all meet. Ukrainians think that it counts as BBQ. They're mistaken in this belief, but it's a charming attempt. Anyway, it was fun. We got to meet his friend and eat good food, and it was overall a nice adventure.
Wednesday was district meeting and English Practice. It was funny doing English Practice. We started out talking about perserverance, but we ended up talking about how horrible K-Mart is, Little Ceasar's, and the general idea of American fast-food. Funny enough, that's not an odd shift for an English Practice. I think it's actually happened before.
On Thursday we met with our friend Olya in the park next to the apartment that we closed down at the end of last month. We couldn't find anyway to get home after that, so we ended up home pretty late.
Friday's English Practice was pretty fun. I made up a game with Elder Mayberry that is sort of like Clue. We drew a map of a manor on the board and we secretly made one person the murderer. Everyone closes their eyes, and then the murderer opens their eyes and points out their victim. Then everyone opens their eyes. Everyone has to find a partner and chose a room to go into. There can't be more than one pair in a room, so you have to pair up quick if you want to get the room of your choosing. If the murderer can pair up with his victim or get into the room next door to his victim, they're successful. Everyone else has to try and figure out who the murderer is. If everybody unanimously agrees, they can tie up one person. If you tie up the wrong person, the murderer wins.
That was fun. It was also fun playing Bang afterwards. I've mentioned Bang before, but this game was particularly fun. In Bang there are 3 bandits, 2 deputies, a renegade, and a sheriff. The only person who reveals their role is the sheriff. The bandits have to kill the sheriff, the sheriff has to kill the bandits without killing his deputies, and the deputies have to help the sheriff without killing each other in the process. I was a bandit sitting right next to the sheriff. Sister Hendricks was sitting on the other side of the sheriff, and I was pretty sure that she was a bandit. So, I killed her and pretended that I was a deputy for a while. Everyone bought it. Then, when the time was right and everyone was comfortable with the fact that I was a real deputy, I turned and shot the sheriff and enjoyed the shock on everyone's faces. It was fun.
On Saturday we had a Sport Fest for the branch and for our investigators. A lot of people came. Not as many as came for the BBQ, but still a lot of people. It was pretty successful.
Church was good on Sunday. After church we met with our friend Aleks again.
Well, that was basically my week. I think. I can never really be sure, the days are running on pretty quick now.
Anyway, peace!
Elder Robison
