I'll be serving an LDS Mission in Samara Russia from June 2011 to June 2013. My purpose as a missionary is to invite others to come unto Christ by helping them receive the restored gospel through faith in Jesus Christ and His Atonement, repentance, baptism, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end.

Letter #31 from Russia
Aloha!
Horosho! So everything is going well! The temple was awesome! I got sealed
to The president and his wife for time and all eternity! haha! Well, sort
of. haha! We got to do a session as well, so that was awesome! However,
while I was in Kiev I had two really important envelopes in my backpack,
one of which was for an elder's family who lives there that I was to
deliever. The other one was all my registration to live legally in
Russia... I got them mixed up and gave the registration to a temple worker
in Kiev and flew back to Russia and then realized what had happened... so
I'm actually getting kicked out of Russia for three months and coming back
to Utah until we can get it sorted out... Just kidding. Nothing bad
happened. They got the registration all sorted out. I just wanted to scare
you.
Yo My Oh just means my goodness, or something like that. It is most
definitely not a swear word... at least where I'm serving. Maybe in some
other part of Russia. Rachel, I loved hearing your story about Boston
washing his hands in the Toilet, but at least it wasn't his Jacuzzi. haha!
Mary, cool story about the guy totally turning around! I wish I could get
that to happen! By the way, could someone send me Tiffany Johnson's
address! That would be great! Thanks!
So this wednesday is victory day here in Russia. If there was any holiday
to drink more than New years, it's Victory day... so we can't leave the
apartment again. haha! Bleen (dang) I only have like five minutes...
So my companion is calling home at about 6:00 my time, which means I'll be
calling about 7:30 - 8:00 my time. Which is like 9 or 10 your time or
something. Karoche (in short), just be ready to for me to call sometime
around then. Love you all! I've gotta go! I feel like there was more I
wanted to say, but I forgot... oh yeah! Happy Anniversary!!! K loves!
