It was another good week here in Pskov. Colder, but good. This was an exciting week. A roller coaster week. The roller coaster started out on Tuesday with a low. We had family home evening at the branch, and only our branch president and the missionaries showed up. It was a sad moment when he told us to cancel and go do something else. It was a bummer. It was maybe the low point in my time in Pskov, just seeing the sad look on his face was awful. Then on Wednesday we did a lot of walking and a lot of talking. Thursday we spent a lot of time inside and did our weekly planning, then we went to an investigator that we're helping out. He wants to quit smoking. He's a little loco, he's 40 and he's already on pension because he was labeled an invalid by the government, but he's not that crazy. He really likes the idea of anarchy, and he has a big flag with a big red A for anarchy, and during this lesson he was wearing it as a cape. That was really funny. It was a good lesson too, we made some good progress and he gave us all his cigarettes. On Friday crazy things happened. It is transfer week, so we were expecting our transfer calls on Saturday morning, like usual. We got a call from the Assistants on Friday around 11 (if the assistants call, it means you are staying where you are) and so we were confused. They talked to us and then handed the phone over to President Clark to tell us where we were going. Those sneaky assistants! They got us good. Anyways... TRANSFER NEWS: Elder Kartchner will be heading to Novgorod. He'll be a zone leader there, of my zone, so I'll see him a lot. I'm staying in Pskov, and the oldest of the assistants will be coming down here to little ole Pskov to be my companion. I'm excited about that. He's from Pennsylvania, went to Michigan before his mission. He's Elder Kennedy. So one Elder K for the other Elder K. Sweet. So yeah, our whole district is basically leaving... there are only going to be two survivors. One of the other sisters is staying, but other than that, the others are all outta here. Last night we walked and talked a lot, and we climbed up onto the old wall here that runs through our area, and it's a sweet view of Pskov. Our cameras died, so we're going to go back today and take some sweet pics. That's about it from here in Pskov, there's been more energy in the branch since President Clark came, and we had a good service activity on Saturday night with the members. We made little sandwiches and gave them to homeless people. It was fun. Anyways, that's about it. Love ya all!
