Здравствуйте!
Hello everybody! It's crazy to think I've already been out
on my mission for 6 months, but I just hit that milestone a few days ago! Time
is seriously just going way too fast!
This week has been full of all kinds of
really awesome experiences! We were finally able to meet with our recent
convert вика(Vika) this Saturday! She's been super sick lately, but we were
able to meet with her and give her a blessing! She seemed to really appreciate
it, and said that she's been feeling better, which is just a small miracle for
us! She's made so much progress over the past few months, and is now planning
on making it to the temple the next time our mission is scheduled for temple
trips! We're both just really excited for her and hope that she can continue to
improve and stay strong!
President and Sister Miner also made a pretty
unexpected trip down here to Stavropol this weekend, which was super awesome
for our branch! They were able to teach everyone how to give talks and prepare
lessons, which is much needed for all the members in our branch. Everyone in
attendance are converts, and most of them have never been to a bigger branch to
see an example of what a talk should look like, or what a good lesson consists
of, so everyone was really thankful to get some pointers on that, and hopefully
the quality of our meetings will improve and get people more and more excited
for church on Sundays!
Ilgar is still doing well! He's still not been able to
kick his smoking habit, but we're working with him every day to help him overcome
it, and as soon as he does he'll become a baptized member of the church and be
able to start helping us in greater capacities.
Other than that, not a whole
lot has happened over here this week! We're still having more and more lessons
every week! We ended up as a mission teaching 302 lessons the week before last,
which as an average of 9 lessons per companionship! It really is incredible to
see the work going forward week after week! I'd just like to end with a humble
testimony of the reality of Christ's atonement in our lives. I've seen the
changes it has made, is still making, and will continue to make in my life, and
in the lives of others, and I bear solemn witness that it is real, that Christ
lives and cares deeply for each and every one of his children.
I love you all,
and hope all is well!
Until
next time,

Looks like Elder Kempton found the camel that wanders around the city
Trying out hats!
Stavropol looks so green and pretty!
