It is difficult moving out of apartments and into new ones. It always comes down to the point that you will be making several trips carrying heavy loads up and down several flights of stairs. From last Monday to Wednesday we got everything packed in between meetings and contacting. It was extremely funny to announce the details on zone training meeting about how the move was going to take place. It seemed like I was debriefing a squad of soldiers. The sisters had six bags, we had six bags and the other elders were leaving on a train to Yekaterinburg early in the morning. We ordered two taxis and stuffed them with our bags and then carried them up to the ninth floor quickly to switch spots with the sisters. We moved in to the new apartment that Wednesday and the other elders met them to help with their bags at the train station After we got situated we got to work calling through everyone in our area book to give us a good idea on our brand new area. Unfortunately no meeting worked out with anyone that was in the area book and instead went contacting with great enthusiasm and excitement to start fresh. This next week we hope to get fourteen new numbers out of our own finding efforts. With the weather warming up, we found it fun and enjoyable to be out and taking our time to talk to people in between meetings with members and less active members. Because in the winter you just get used to the fact that the position that you face was in when you left will be in the same position when you return home.
We are so excited to knock this transfer out of the park with effort and hard work to bring souls to Christ everyday The Lord keeps his promises always. Remember to be the light on the hill by serving with your heart mind and strength. By simply acting and applying what we learn the Lord blesses us with the guidance of the Holy ghost in deed and in thought. I have been trying hard to focus about doing good and finding ways to serve someone everyday. This goal has helped me find many little ways to show my respect and love for others. We have been trying to find ways in the branch to do this as well and have seen that it is good to shovel snow or vacuum a room or two. The branch is doing extremely well and seems to be growing in experience.
English Conversation Group is starting tomorrow at in order to sign people up for courses and inform them about the program that will be taking place. Before that begins we are planning to do a rehearsal to practice our parts in order to make transitions smooth and professional WE are extremely looking forward to the new program and have had success in getting in touch with people that have been contacted in the past five weeks. We are expecting around sixty people to be there to sign up. We even got a meeting set up with one of the contacts after the sign up hour! Everything is going great here in Kurgan, Russia. We will be working hard to make this week great and full of potential to set up the rest of the transfer with some baptismal dates.
Love you all!! HAVE A GREAT WEEK!
Elder LeFevre
