Hello again everyone!
Well, this was an interesting week. I can't remember if I mentioned this last time or not, but our investigator's dad died (Volodymyr's dad), so because he's been busy taking care of that, we've been unable to teach him like we'd wanted to, which means his baptismal date will, unfortunately, have to be pushed back. However, he's still doing well and everything's still going great with him, so I have no doubt that he will be baptised, it'll only be a week or two later than we'd hoped.
So an interesting thing happened on a street car the other day. We had just finished our district meeting and were going to district lunch, and the restaurant we wanted to eat at was a little ways away. We all got on a street car (or tramvay, pronounced "tram-vye") and for the most part spread out, as usual, though two elders--Elder Campbell and Elder Ledbetter--stood by the door. After we got on, a group of four gypsies followed us quickly and stood in the doorway also. One of them stumbled a little, and before he knew it Elder Campbell realized the man had tossed his jacket over his (Elder Campbell's) shoulder bag and was rumaging through it underneath! Elder Campbell pulled his bag away and turned aside, and Elder Ledbetter--being a former track/football player, and large in stature--saw what happened and started yelling at the gypsies. Before we knew it, almost everyone on the tramvay was yelling at them, and they beat a hasty retreat off empty handed. It was...an interesting experience. This is the first time for any of us that this has happened; in fact, I've only heard of maybe one or two other similar cases happening to missionaries here. So, the thing to remember--always keep a close eye on your things when on public transportation.
Well, that's all the excitement I've got time to write about today. I love you all, and I hope everyone has a good week!
Love,
--Elder Brett
