GOOD MORNING VIETNAM MOSCOW!
Elder Bushlaev and I had a busy, busy week. One of those weeks where you are so tired your body hurts. The only way we made it through was pleading to have strength and be guided every day. We spent a lot of time with our investgiators this week. One of them, Kirill, even took us on a tour of his company (industrial construction materials) shop and workhouse. It was pretty cool-they print pictures on these huge aluminum sheets, among a ton of other things. We also had a killer first lesson with a 23 year old kid named Davron. His sister is a member, and the Elders before dropped him because he wasn't making any progress. It was written that there was little hope for him. Turns out, he wasn't progressing because the Elders didn't actually ever invite him to learn about the Gospel, just invited him to activities and things. He is very ready to hear about the gospel and was asking all kinds of great questions.
Later in the week, one of our lessons feel through, so we went looking for inactive members that had gone MIA. We checked quite a few addresses, and were pretty disappointed with the success we were having, until we checked the last place for the night. To our surprise, one of our most active members opened the door, having gotten home after a month of being on vacation. And her inactive son was there! We talked to them for quite a while. On our way back to the metro, she told us that was the first time in over 5 years that he had talked to the elders. Usually, when the elders had come over, he would just lock himself in the back room. It was a huge blessing to see how the Lord lined up everything that night so we would get there right when we would be able to see him and build a relationship with him.
I wish I could write out all of the little miracles we see every day, but I am not allowed nearly enough time for that. Thanks for your love and prayers!
The book is blue, the Gospel is true!
