I am in Yekaterinburg!! So super exciting and really really confusing to
me because all I know is Perm. I went from knowing bus routes and side
streets to nothing at all and just letting Elder Y and Elder Z
show me around. The day of transfers was below -20 degrees Celsius and
super freezing, but no snow compared to lovely Perm. There are just big
blocks of ice that cover the sidewalks and roads here and I was getting
used to climbing over the big piles of snow but now my behind is trying
to get used to the amount of times I have fallen while walking on the
streets.
The new area is really big and I love big areas, because you
just got a ton of ground to cover and therefore it doesn't become the
same route everyday.
It is going really well in the new branch that I am serving
in and we have a couple of progressing investigators in the area. it is
amazing to me of how much sacrifice is taken to be a member and to stand
for the right here in Russia. We met with one investigator who has a
baptismal date for January 7th at church and right off the bat came up
and talked to me about the Book of Revelations. You can imagine the
thoughts I had running through my mind when he started to talk about the
dragon and the war in heaven. It was funny because he related it to the
USSR. I am super excited to go to work in the big city and to gain some
experience as being a district leader!
I
love the mission and I love Russia! Merry Christmas to everyone!
Love Elder LeFevre
