I jumped on a nail!

Well as many of you may have found out I stepped, or rather jumped, onto a nail this week. We were helping a lady in our branch gather firewood for the winter. And she had purchased some from her neighbor. We helped her to bring it over. She didn't have an ax so we jumped on them to break them. We were being really careful to see where the nails were but I must have missed one. I jumped onto it and felt it immediately. I yelled and Elder Welch asked immediately is it bad? And I said ya it's bad. I took of my shoe to see my sock turning red in two places. The nail had gone through my foot.The sister was really nice and quick to act. The problem was there was a lot of rust in the hole. We made it back to Cherkassy by hitchiking which was a miracle because they stopped and had 4 places open. I have spent time each morning this week going to the hospital to have them do some weird things. It is definately not America. haha. I took a bunch of pictures and videos which I will put up today. If you don't want to see them don't look ;).

As far as investigators go we found 6 this week which was super cool. We also set up with a family of 8! I can't wait to teach them. The baptisms for this week fell through as well. Unfortunately they are getting their apartment taken from them so they don't think right now is the best time. Pavel was in Russia all this week and Avraam has been busy. But it gave us a lot of time to find and teach other people. This week looks really promising so that is cool. Hopefully it goes better this week. We had a cool miracle yesterday a guy came to church and said he has come from across the river just to get a book of Mormon. He found us on a website and came to get one. I got his number so we will hopefully meet with him this week.

So just some random things is this week is Leadership Trining which as a District Leader I get to go to. President just got back from Latvia where they had a Mission President Conference so it should be really cool. This week we also find out about Transfer info which is crazy how fast it is going. And also I have been making a mormon.org profile as President has asked that we make one. I will let you know when it is done.

out or to cause cancer, I can't remember what they told me.  ha ha
