Surprise picture recieved by text message from Elder Loveridge's family. |
Elder Loveridge and his parents were here for about a week and a
half visiting. It was cool to see Elder Loveridge again, he was my first
companion when I was in Rivne and he's been home for about 9 months now, so it
was cool to catch up. He and his parents came to our English practice and it
was a relief to see that even Americans who haven't spent the last 18 months in
Ukraine have difficulty explaining obscure English grammar things sometimes, too. They also took us to a nice Ukrainian restaurant the next day (that's
where they took the picture they sent you) so that was nice of them.
Alec puts on another Science Night. |
A big part of this week was spent getting ready for
activities. First, we did a science activity on Tuesday, and since that's my
specialty we had to spend a lot of that day getting ready for that. It took a
lot of work actually, but it all actually turned out pretty well. I tried to
recreate some demonstrations from Morehead and then we added a few other ones
cause it's kind of hard to find liquid nitrogen or potassium chlorate in
Ukraine. People actually seemed to really like it. It was a lot easier this
time than when I did it in Ivano cause one of our sisters here is a native
Ukrainian and she could translate for me, so I wasn't stumbling through it
trying to explain these things in Ukrainian. The best part was probably when I set the $20 bill on fire, ha ha.
The other activity we were getting ready for was our big
Easter finding activity, which unfortunately hasn't happened yet cause of rain. We finished building the big boards that we're gonna be writing on in downtown
and we also got our cool wristbands in. It should be a good activity, we just
gotta hope that the weather clears up some time before the Easter season is
over.
"Christ is Risen" wristbands. |
That's about it for this week. I've got some pictures and
videos for you, so have fun, hope you had a good Easter.
Alec
