Up all night

This last week in Perm was great in just keeping up the work and making plans happening in order to achieve goals which we had set for the week. I know all I talk is about goals, because that is what makes up most of a missionary's life. We had a great week with some success from our investigators who have now been coming to church. One investigator is a psychologist and a student in the biggest institute in Perm and she is super awesome. We asked her if she will get baptized and she said that she wasn't ready, but when the answer comes then she will definitely do it. She is reading in 2 Nephi, so it is extremely difficult to read and it brings up a ton of interesting questions. For example, "Why could God have a son like Lucifer?!" ha-ha.  Elder H and I were taken back the question.u I got to go on splits with Elder R on Tuesday and it was super fun and a good experience. We taught a member who lived in his area in a private house that was big enough for one person, but he had both him and his wife and 20 dogs living with them! Yeah imagine that! Elder R had all the dogs crawling all over him, wanting to be petted, while I on the other hand got tons of hair all over me as well and puppies biting my toes! It was an interesting lesson to teach, but it was a good one and we got a sweet referral from him! The day was turning out to go as planned and we retired to bed around 10:30 until Elder R got woken up by a phone call from the Elders in the southern part of the city after midnight! We had to go help them until 4 am in the morning! Ha-ha. I lost a ton of sleep but we were allowed to catch up on it all! Elder B had kidney dust and all is well with him. It was a lifetime experience seeing a socialized Russian hospital.   After our exciting experience we ended spits and continued with work the next day. We were out on the street a ton this last week and we got the opportunity to get some Russian army issue thermals (You know the blue/white stripe under shirts in the movies.) After we hit our goal to get a meeting on the street and then we got to eat some amazing Subway. This week is the last week in the transfer and we are going to Yekaterinburg tomorrow for training then, we are going on our visa trip to beautiful Finland! Definitely going to pick up some chocolate! Love you all and thanks for the gifts! Elder LeFevre
