We don't really have anything planned for Thanksgiving. The branch is doing a lunch thing on Saturday, but it will not at all be like a
real Thanksgiving. We'll probably just make something.
We did a little bit of service for our interesting Canadian member, helping him
finish his greenhouse before the winds come and world war 3 starts next year. So good thing we got that all ready for him. Last time we were there it was
super cold and raining, so at least the weather was nice this time.
We also did some more service helping the branch president's
mom get her visa ready to go to England. For some reason, she thought it would
be a good idea to get a new passport (to change her last name to match her
husbands) right in the middle of the visa application process. She wanted to
know if that would have a negative impact on her visa application decision. Well, of course, that will have a negative impact on her visa application
decision, but we still had to spend 3 hours calling a bunch of different people
and emailing people to get a solid confirmation of that from the embassy.
British English is almost as hard to understand as African English too, so it
was a lot of fun. But now we'll probably have to restart the application
process from the beginning when she gets her new passport.
Other than that we had a good, slightly unorthodox sacrament
meeting. Our former branch president was giving a talk and he started sending
text messages to members of the congregation and having them stand up and read
them as an object lesson. Right in the middle of sacrament meeting. That's
Ukraine for ya.
Some of our friends
from English practice have really started to like Bananagrams. we play it during
our game night with them and they seem to like it. They use the most ridiculous
words sometimes though.

I have a couple pics, just a cool house in
downtown Ivano-Frankivsk that looks a lot like downtown Raleigh . . .
. . . and a car with
a Connecticut license plate.
I don't know if I sent these already but there's also some
pics of the university where we do a special English practice every Wednesday (at top.)
Have a good week and Happy Thanksgiving!
Alec
