Mary, I forgot to say, last week, I really enjoyed the picture you sent. We think alike... I tried taking the exact same one, but my companion thought it was disrespectful and refused to take it... haha! I showed the sisters in my district. They said that you'd be the kind of girl they would judge and hate because you were so pretty. Then I said I had no idea what they were talking about and they flipped out at me because I obviously had no taste in women or something(I know you're pretty, but It's hard to judge when it's your sister). They said you looked like, model material or something. Don't let it get to your head. haha! If you didn't get that this was a compliment, it was, but I felt awkward saying it.
So... this week, two of our elders are getting kicked out of Russia... They accidentally walked on to a secret airforce base or something, which was not marked obviously... being secret and all... now they are never allowed to come to Russia ever again... yep. Glad it's not me! But at the same time, they'll probably be going to the prebaltics or Ukraine, so actually they're lucky cuz Ukraine is beautiful!
Elder Bukanov is leaving to Ulyanovsk to train. And I'm staying here in Penza training again. I'll probably finish my mission here in Penza, which I'm way happy about.
Hmmmm... So we have this member, Alyona, she is wonderful, but she randomly decided to leave the church a little while ago, because she found this tool boyfriend. Karoche, this week she secretly called Lilya, one of my favorite members here and told her that she wanted to come to conference but her boyfriend didn't want her to. She said she was sick of him and made the biggest mistake of her life deciding to marry him. She caled off the marraige and told him she was going to church and he told her he wouldn't let her, so she snuck over with Lilya. I was at the church building and these guys were waiting for Alyona so that they could grab her and drive off. They figured she would try to sneak out. She ran up to the door, but her slimy boyfriend grabbed her and was trying to get her into the car. I ran out of site and sound of my companion to go and rescue her, but this huge guy appeared out of nowhere and the look on his face was serious. I knew I wouldn't be able to get past him. Lilya ran up and grabbed Alyona, she was in better range, but another guy went up and was ripping her off. That's when I yelled for my companion and Zhenya to come and help. Zhenya comes out, a tough guy with tatoos (in Russia each tatoo has a specific symbol, and his tatoos were a sign to anyone who understood that he was VERY dangerous) and the other big guy almost wets himself and backs off. We get the guys off Alyona and call the police, but they take off. I got the license plate number though and was pretty much a hero... haha!
Pretty dramatic. That's a really fast, watered down version of the story, but essentially... I hate satan.
I'm out of time, I wanted to say so much more! We've got a baptism coming up if the husband doesn't forbid it! Prayer for her! Her name is Elmira!
Love you all!
Elder Swartz!
