Quickly getting Hot

WOW!! It is getting hot very quickly here in Chely. It was as if Spring was one week and we just ran right into summer. The weather is awesome and allows Elder S and I to get out and exercise. We have been running everyday this past week with our Ward Mission Coordinator and his friend. He seems somewhat interested in learning more about our church and in playing some basketball with us. This past week was great as we have been awaking from the kind of hibernation of the winter into running to transport then up 10 to 18 story apartment buildings finding less active members and investigators. Takes me back to last summer in Пермь (Perm).  Elder S and I have been seeing the great success in our area rise from since the first transfer when we both walked into the area blind.

Our family home evening lesson last week went well with our investigator who came and enjoyed the good amount of refreshments at the apartment of the M,s. We talked about Jesus Christ, due to Easter in the Western World or the Catholic calendar. Иисус Воскрес!! (Jesus is Risen). The lesson went well as we bore our testimonies at the end about Jesus Christ. Later in the week we visited our other investigator, who said on General Conference that he wants to be baptized! YEAH!!! ...Maybe, we will see when we meet with him this week, but I have faith that he will be baptized and along with our other investigator next week. We will be booked with lessons getting them ready for that day!

This past week our Mission Ward Coordinator had a week off from the plant that he works at on the edge of town that makes all the electricity and hot water for the city! He drove us there with the M's one night and I got some cool pictures!! (which might come down the road, due to the fact that I am horrible at sending pictures.) We went running to addresses, as he was fully committed to helping us out and finding everyone on his home teaching list. Which is has about 500 names. We rode around with S and his car zipping everywhere in the city. It was fun being stuffed in the car with the M's. The M's ROCK! Zone Class was super good as we talked about finding and the need to be dedicated in order to succeed. Talked about Alma and Amulek in the prison and overcoming afflictions. 

This past week we saw Conference in Russian. We had it planned to be in English, but we had investigators come, who did not have anyone sit next to them, therefore we did. I picked up about twenty new good words to use in my daily life here in Russia. How cool is that. I thank the Lord every day for the opportunity to be here and all you back home for the support and guidance to lead me here. My favorite line from Conference was, "Just STOP it!!" - Elder Uchtdorf. We can put that in other terms and say, "Don't be hating'!" So, me and Elder S are waiting for the General Conference English edition to get in depth. 

Love you ALL! Всего Доброго!!  (All the Best)
