December 31, 2012

Kurgan is enjoying the warm weather and everyone is preparing for the holidays. This last week on Saturday we had our ward party for the celebration of all the holidays. It was nice to see so many people come for the activity and to meet investigators and members. We played a few games and enjoyed the presentation and activities. We have some the best youth here in Kurgan. Always fun to spend time with them. 

We stopped by investigators and members to share a Christmas message and even spent time on the streets during -34C weather to find investigators. We had a couple of awesome miracles this past week happen to us in our hard efforts in serving the Lord. When we were out on the streets contacting we talked to this man who at first wasn't interested but with a few questions that were exchanged in our conversation, he became intrigued. We didn't write down his number our his address, but I asked him for referral of someone that would be interested and he gladly gave us a name. We planned later that night to stop by her and contact the referral given to us after we were finished with our meeting in the center of town. We found her and she was not interested at all. My companion and I  decided knock on all the doors in the stairwell. In just about three doors we came upon the fellow that we talked to earlier that day. We came in and got to know each other and drank tea and taught the Restoration to him. He accepted and we will be meeting with him this Friday!! His wife is getting out of the hospital this week and we will have the opportunity to meet with both of them. 

Another miracle was a while we were trackting we ran into this bus driver that we see quite oft in the city here. He knew us and we spent forty minutes teaching him the Restoration and getting a return appointment for this upcoming week. It is looking really good for our area at this moment and we are not going to let up. This week however is full of travel for me again as I leave for Yekaterinburg this Thursday in the morning for ZLC and then come back Friday on that good ol' elektrishka. I am excited maybe we will get to talk to a couple of cool lads on the way again that will be willing to speak that is. 

Thanks for the cookies! Those are going to good use as we stop by and hand people goodies and wish them a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year! Love you all and Good luck to all y'all going to school in a few days.(Derek) BYU ROCKS!

Love Elder LeFevre
