Church on Sunday was not too bad yesterday. I taught a lesson, but luckily I didn't have to give a talk. I thought I might have to
when the first two speakers left us with a half hour left, but our closing
speaker came in clutch and took up the rest of the time. But all in all, it was
a fairly normal Sunday, just lots of other branch business to do. We have the
traveling Patriarch coming this week, so we had to get everything ready for
that with interviews and printing recommends and scheduling everything. Lots of
fun.
Other than that, this week was just a whole lot of rain. So
that was unfortunate. And to make matters worse, I had to go a whole week
without any Georgian food because my favorite Georgian restaurant is still
closed. Rough week.
On Tuesday, for our activity night, we did a sweet egg drop
activity. We basically just gave the people that came a bunch of trash and had
them build things to protect their eggs when we dropped them off a flight of
stairs. It was pretty fun and it reminded me a lot of doing science camps with Morehead, haha.
On Monday, a former missionary, Elder Von Niederhausern,
stopped by with his parents. He was in Rivne when I first got to Ukraine and
he's a super nice guy, so it was good to see him. We just went to dinner and
talked for a bit, but it was fun.
We also did a bit of service Monday night, digging up dirt
behind this one member's apartment building. Ukrainians will use any little bit
of land they can find to plant potatoes. So we were basically just digging up
the lawn by her building so she could plant potatoes there. It was actually
pretty hard work, the dirt was rock hard.
That's about it for last week, hopefully the weather will be
better this week and more exciting stuff will happen. Also I got no pics for
you, sorry, just this one with the former elder Von Niederhausern (at top).
Hope you have a great week!
Alec
