Week 10: 2 Weeks in Russia

Hello everybody,

Russian is very hard and I do not understand most of it. I hope it will get easier because...wow! Other than that, this week has been pretty good. We had a couple of lessons with less actives and we are trying to set up some appointments with some of our African investigators. One of them came to church last Sunday and he even participated in the Sunday school class. Some days we will eat breakfast at 7:30 am and then lunch will be at 5:30 pm. But other days we will eat like 4 times a day at McDonalds and KFC. The fast food here is so good. My companions name is elder Powell and he is from Las Vegas. He has been out in the field for a long time. He knows Russian. 

We usually have 2 non members show up to every activity we have but they won't agree to lessons because they don't want to be baptized. They just think its just a social club haha. It's so funny. It was a good week here. Good luck.

Mom and dad,

I'm just blowing through all my short sleaves. Just constintly sweating. I love it. 

The branch here is really big. We have about 50 active members here and they are all so cool. Some of them speak English and I get to talk to them in English. 

Most days we just try and think of less actives and teach them. We are going to Rostov Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday because my comp is a zone leader and he has mlt. I will be going on splits. Next week I will be in a trio on splits with Russians who don't know English, haha. Wish me luck haha. Love you all and tell Blake whats up!
