Привет Привет Привет!
It is so good to write home again. Having a normal workday on Monday
was the weirdest feeling ever. And not writing until today got us all
mixed up. Therefore I am happy to end the confusion.
My new suit is........... BLUE! She is beautiful, I
had to get the legs tailored a little shorter because apparently my legs
don't agree with my arms. I was hoping to grow a few inches out here
but for as much as i can tell it is not happening. This transfer has
gone faster than any one I have ever experienced. It feels like I have
been with Elder Staiger for 1 day tops. As of now the prophecy that the
last year goes immensely faster is being fulfilled. We have to move
out of the apartment that I have called home for 5+ months. 7 new
sisters come in (or 6 I don't know) and they get our apartment and we
get to go live with the other elders in their apartment in Slabada. The
changes are to a much smaller apartment and about 20 more minutes away
from the church. But that is a small sacrifice to make to be able to
live with 4 elders again. It is a blast!
Mr.
W. I am so blessed to be able to teach him. He loves the gospel
and reminds me of why I am out here and that I truly do bring glorious
news of happiness. He believes and is happy. Every time I talk to him he
says something in his Chinese accent in broken English very profound
and simple about the gospel and I can't help but laugh and smile. The
gospel is joy and he understands that.
We had
splits again in Vlad. I was with Elder Grey and Elder Memmott. We met
with a kid who knows English and can hear any song and then play it on
the guitar or piano right after or that is how it seemed. The next day
multiple districts came up to Vlad for a joint district meeting where we
talked about the new law and what we could do and what we couldn't do.
We are going to be spending more time in the church now. Yesterday me
and Elder Staiger started to organize the library while we waited to see
if anyone would come in. It was such a mess and we are still not
finished. 3 guys came in and we played ping pong with them because for 2
weeks we can't talk about the gospel with anyone besides members. That
is of course unless they sign a paper stating that they are a
"follower" interested in learning more about our church. We set up a
soccer game with them on Friday.
I
called Vl who me and Elder Lyman taught in Angarsk haha... he is
super funny. He always yells when he gets excited "OOOH OOOH" haha. He
knows some English but usually a word or two and then the rest is all
in Russian. In Angarsk I could not understand anything he was saying
but when I called him it all was clear. But that's not saying much
because I knew like no Russian when I first got in country it feels
like.
We found a big set up poster of Joseph Smith while cleaning out the library. We put it out in the front where
people can see him when they pass by the church. I'll send a picture
of me by it!
I love you all and am very
grateful for all you do! If you have any questions or more stuff you
want me to include in my email just let me know.
Elder Wilding
