Добрый добрый, Ст. Вилкинс!
It sometimes feels like I never actually serve with my companion. The Tula/Kaluga Elders (outer cities) came in for splits last Wednesday, and Elder Heywood went to Ryazan with Elder Radle again this Sunday, so I was with my companion something like 4 of the last 8 days. It can be a little frustrating, but it doesn't slow down the work at all.
The work kind of took off this week, despite the constant companion changing. We found three potential investigators, all pretty young college guys who feel like something is missing. Their names are Yegor, Slava, and Ivan. Pretty excited to see how they progress. We also met with a contact we had named Mikhail. Unfortunately, he's one of the people who falls into the category of "I'm far older than the Elders, and have much more life experience. There's no way they can know what they're talking about." So we testified hard, and sent him on his way. He said he is still interested to meet, but doesn't plan on changing his ways.
We continued to work with Natalia, Andrei's (one of our YSA) mom. She is having a little trouble getting over her old beliefs but is slowly coming along. She believes the Book of Mormon is true, but has trouble with Joseph Smith and the doctrine of eternal progression. So we are hoping Andrei can help his mom realize that if the Book of Mormon is true, it all is.
In other news, we helped a member get a bunk bed across Moscow, made borsch with a member named Marat who is returning to activity, and finally watched Gen Conf! You could say it was a pretty good week.
I am so thrilled to be a part of this great work and to represent the Lord each day.
The book is blue, the Gospel is true
