Zone Conference

Last week was a super good week and full of travel. (like usual for us here in Chely) ha-ha.  Last week, we had a ton of work on our hands as Elder S and I committed three people to baptism this last week and our new investigator said he would in April. We are super excited to continuing meeting with him and his girlfriend and get them both baptized. We have four progressing investigators! We taught about the gospel of Jesus Chist and specific blessings we have seen from obeying the Word of Wisdom. It is crazy how addictions get a hold of people really stongly. As a matter of fact, we are in a internet cafe and the guy next to me is drinking, smoking and gambling. He answered the phone and said that he was busy to his wife and that he is at work. (Post Office is closed) Reminds me of the casinos in Vegas. Anyway, it was a week of good quality meetings, although we didn't get a whole bunch of meetings. 

This past week we had the oportunity to hear from Sis. and Pres. R at Zone Conference in Ufa. We left on an early morning train and picked up some SUBWAY and made our way on the train for nine hours. We arrived and the snow had been falling everyday in the month of March there. It was crazy warm compared to Chely too. We left the train station to the church building that is situated on a hill and standing out like a beacon. They sell magnets with the picture of the church building, because it is one of the more beautiful buildings in town. We talked about the Book of Mormon and what it meant to us. It was a powerful meeting of testimonies and knowledge about the Gospel. While we were there we received our own personal Books of Mormon to mark and read four times in a year. First, we are to mark all the references to Christ. Second, mark all the principles of the Gospel. Third, mark Obedience, righteousness, happiness. Fourth, personal scriptures that relate to me. I was super excited and have been keeping with that commitment. 

We came back from Ufa and set up a day full of meetings and had most of them fall through. We had a meeting before English Club and forgot the phone was on silent as we were supposed to meet with our investigator out at the bus stop. Oooops! I hope she will be able to meet with us again! They gave us some Bashkirian honey from the first meeting we were with them. It is SUPER GOOD! Not like the fake stuff in America. Speaking of stuff from America, Elder S got a package full of candy! ha-ha. We are set for a while. One of the other miracles of our week was participating in giving a member the Melchizedek Priesthood. The member is awesome! We are excited for the Mengs and we will see them here on Friday in Chely!
LOVE YOU!!
