February 24, 2014 ~ Another week to reflect on.

Well this week was pretty good!  Some weird things happened towards the end that I'm not super a huge fan of, but we will get them worked out.  Just had trouble getting ahold of a few people:/

We had a zone training and went down to St. Petes this week.  It was pretty good.  One of the better ones I would say.  Then we were supposed to go on a split to Vyborg that I was so excited about, but it got cancelled, but we didn't have our tickets back to petro until a day later anyways so we just stayed in the city and stayed with some of the other elders.  It was pretty fun.  We went to their English group and it was awesome!  They had a lot more people than we do, and was just a cool relaxed, fun environment.  Then the next day we did planning just in the city to not waste a day on it here.  That night we went to the Institute building and sat in on the BYU-I pathways program that they have, and that was cool.  One of the guys who goes there, comes in from Veliky Novgorod every week just for that.  The sad news, today he and his family are moving to Minnesota!  Crazy.  I never served there, but he was baptized just less than a year ago and was serving as the Branch President there and apprently is super cool.  He seemed awesome when I met him this week.  So one of the St. Paul wards is going to have an awesome new Russian family!  Lucky!

Hmm not much else is really happening around here.  Things are just not lining up for us, but we are still trying!  Hopefully things will be more exciting for me to tell about next week!

Have a great week!
