This last week had to be one of the hardest for me and my companion. We only came out with six meetings this last week. We started off this last week having "Capture the Flag" and ultimate frisbee in the park with members and the senior couple last Monday for FHE. Unfortunately, no investigators came to our activity but some members and recent converts did! We had a good time and I came out victorious with the flag in my hand after both games!
Tuesday, We took the day contacting and then went down to D's house to have our dinner hour and helped him pack to get the train station on time in order to go to the young single adults conference in Krasnoyarsk. We all met up at the train station and handed off his bags to the people on the train and met up with some of my favorite people in the mission that were going to the conference as well. It was great to see everyone form Chelyabinsk and Perm. I love both of those cities!! The mission in general is full of cool young single adults. After wards, we were going to head down to a little town outside the city to visit a family there, but the meeting didn't work out and instead went out to eat at the japenese restaurant with some members and Elder and Sister C. We ended up doing the spiritual thought with them. It was super good and I enjoyed the free herbal tea they brought to us complimentary and the hot towels with fresh mint on them! It was awesome. It is cool serving in Asia/Russia!
Wednesday, was my visa trip and I left early in the morning with half of our group because we get the direct flight to Helsinki since we live in Yekaterinburg. I actually went to two endowment sessions and we had time to relax a bit and I memorized all the articles of faith in Russian. We also got to stop in TGI FRIDAYS for a good old coconut milkshake! You got to try one they are great. We came back Thursday morning at six and I went to bed quickly until about eleven o clock in the middle of the day. We made some amazing Plov and did weekly planning and Zone class planning all day it seemed like. It reminded me of the MTC!
Saturday was the day of the city celebration for Yekaterinburg and we were aloud to be outside and be amongst the crowds talking to people. It was fun being there and we met up with one of our investigators with his girlfriend. We played a quick game and had a thought and left to the church to have four meetings with our investigators. They all fell through unfortunately and we had a good coordination meeting with our branch mission leader. He talked about the miracles that happened on his mission in Novosabirsk when they decided to live by the white handbook completely. So lately, I have been going though the white handbook and writing things down that I could do better.
We had one new investigator this week and he showed up at church! That was the biggest miracle and yesterday the Lord blessed us with a meeting at an inactive's house. We decided to stop by and it worked out!! I love you all and may the force be with you! aka the Holy Ghost!
Love,
Elder LeFevre
