The new year seems just as good as the last with high potential to be
even better. Most of our free time this week was spent on the title of
this email. A week ago revelation was received to build this thing, we
built her out of snow and water, block by block until she stands in her
majesty about 10 ice blocks high and 3 ice blocks wide. I will make
sure to
send a picture.
The giant Book of Mormon seemed
absolutely perfect, all we had left to do was paint the outside cover
blue and carve in "Книга Мормона". And this is where everything went
wrong. We painted it and within 30 minutes
almost all of it came off creating a huge mess of blue snow all around
the base. We tried a few other methods but that just made it worse. It
became a nightmare of a mess to clean up. Most people just ended up
thinking that it was a grave stone, we are going to try to spray paint
the "Книга Мормона" letters this week.
Nikolai is still doing awesome! His baptism will be this Saturday.
Along with him we got a new investigator named R. He has came to
church like 4 times already but he has always been too busy to meet. He
just loves sacrament meeting.
Our sacrament
meeting was interesting to say the least, it was a fast and testimony
meeting and a few people threw out their political views but the spirit
was brought back into it at the end.
It is a
great blessing to have the Severpuxins serving with us. We do a mini MTC
meeting with them every week. They are the first senior couple to come
out from our mission ever.
The promises of
Sakhalin snow have up to this point been nothing but lies. God is just
teaching me to be patient I guess. I have been told that February ALWAYS
gets tons of snow. We'll see.
Hope everyone else had a great start to the new year!
Elder Wilding
