This last week was crazy, but lots of cool stuff, and sad, but it will all be ok. We have a District with one senior couple, one set of elders and 2 sets of sisters. Well, one sister, a great sister from Odessa serving a mini-mission, she started having problems walking. We took her to the hospital, but they were no help. We had to go to another to get X-rays. This should have taken hours, but we had a friend from English there that is from India that happens to be a student there. He helped us get things done very quickly. People were waiting there for hours and we come up, get right in the room, get our stuff done, and walk out in front of them. He is our hero, a really good guy. He speaks British English; its not American English, but he is still cool!! Well on the X-rays they found a dark spot, but it was such low quality it was not much help. So me and my companion on Wed. last week got on a train with Sister Nina and her companion and took her to ODESSA!!!! A place Ukrainian speakers never go unless you are an AP and there we helped sister Nina a lot. It was an 18 hour train ride there and we had 6 hours there during the day. We did a few things that will drive other elders nuts cuz they will never get the chance. We saw the Black Sea, saw 7K, and the best Opera House in Ukraine. Then we had Thanksgiving Dinner and ran for 25 mins to get on our train (with full bellies it was not good!). Then we had another 18 hour long train ride back to Ivano Frankivsk. While we were on our train ride back they did new tests on Sister Nina and she has cancer or a tumor - not 100%. But she is way cool member, for 15 years. She was one of the first in Ukraine to become a member of the church and she has been to the temple. I am happy she had the opportunity to serve a mini-mission and that I was able to serve with her and serve her as well.
I wish I had more time to talk but I am running out of time. I miss you all and will talk more on Wed. Bye!
