Hey! I'll get to the title in just a second because I'm sure your
wondering what I mean haha. But before I do Ill just wrap up everything
else that happened this week which is honestly the standard stuff except
we surpassed our goals in lesson on the street, which is awesome, and
that's about it haha, but things are still running smooth though, and
I'm so glad to hear that you guys are doing good after those health
concerns. I'm attaching a photo of us with the branch here in Novo,
another of everyone in our zone at last zone conference, and 2 more of a
hike we went on this week with a member and some investigators, we
climbed the highest mountain in and surrounding Novo, its not too high
though but it was a wild climb because there's no trail haha. Here in
Russia everyone just goes up the mountain anywhere they see appropriate
haha, but it was a good time though and we had an awesome view and we
got to see a trench line dug by the Nazi's when they invaded Novo in WW2
and some other cool stuff.
So by practically arrested this is what I mean. The assistants the
the president came down to Novo for splits this week, and they were
bringing down some supplies for our branch here in a box with them on
the train, and they accidentally left the box in the train wagon, so
Elder Jacobson and I went to go get it back and after being tossed
around from person to person at the train station to try to pin down the
packages location, we finally got referred to our local friendly
Russian police officer who referred us to a building where we where
interrogated for like an hour because they thought the box was a bomb,
so they made us list everything that was in the box, which was just
sacrament cups and water filters, and then fill out some affidavit type
of thing, all while being interrogated in a room by the Russian police
with the classic one light bulb above us a room with a sheet of glass
you can't see through, it was wild, all with a warning on the wall with a
picture of prison bars with the phrase, "You Can't Hide" written in
Russian on it. It was truly a trip haha, but all in all we got out fine
with no lasting problems and got our box back with everything in the
end, but I guess it's in interesting story to tell! Well I gotta go,
stay safe, until next week! I love you!
