Hello one and all,
Oh man, I put this off to the end
again, sorry! Even more snow has gathered on the ground since the last
time I wrote you. My winter clothes from last year. I just need boots
and I'll be set.
A few church members took us
hiking to Pik Chekova, a famous mountain on Sakhalin. I for one reason
or another did not bring enough warm clothes on the hike and everyone
looked at me like I was crazy. One of the members was nice enough to lend
me his scarf. It was pretty warm most of the hike considering there was
snow all around us. The only part that was bad was when we got to the
top and it felt like we were on Everest - the wind was blowing so fast. We
didn't stay there too long fortunately, and I still have all my fingers
and toes.
During Russian Practice S our
teacher told us a little about the history of Russia. It sounded a
whole lot like what happened in the Book of Mormon to me. A lot of
people denying the throne but instead of judges, imposters took power.
There
was a representative of the institute program who visited and we have a
conference with him. Despite the meetings we played Floorball which is
street hockey in a multi purpose room and we went bowling.
We
had some more home teaching and had an awesome lesson with a member we
went to last night. He has had many experiences of when it was obvious
that God's hand was in his life. It really does seem that when people
live righteous lives they end up having some really amazing things happen
to them.
Good week! I am still loving it!!!
Love Elder Wilding
