Hello again everyone! (By the way, the "weekly report" thing is what I write to President Davis every week in my president's letter...just giving you a taste of mission life)
This was a good week. We had a little bit of exciting news from the First Presidency of the Church. Worldwide, they have changed the key indicators (this might interest Adam more than others of you...but it's earth-shaking for a missionary like me) so there are only 6: Baptisms, Confirmations, Investigators with a Baptismal Date, Investigators at Sacrament Meeting, Lessons Taught with a Member Present, and Daily Contacts (the last one's just something our mission decided to have). This is a reduction from 11 key indicators. I'm not sure if this is boring or not, but for us, like I said, it's amazing.
We've been doing really well. We actually led the mission recently in our numbers, which was kind of a cool feeling to have. We also had a really good meeting in one of our wards where we had a fun skit ("Thirsty for the Water of Life," which involved me having water dumped on me and Elder Lewis wearing a toilet-paper Arab headress and riding a "camel").
Well, as usual, I've run out of time way too fast. I love you all, I miss my nieces and nephews, and I hope everyone has a great week!
Love,
--Elder Brett
ps. - Have fun at school! Hahaha!

This is a drawing of me done by a kid in Verkhovyna. Like many Ukrainian kids, he confuses my cyrillic name, "XYPCT" (Khurst) with the Ukrainian word for "crunch," "XPYCT" (Khrust). For many people, I'm Elder Crunch. It's not as glamorous as it sounds.
