What a fast week.
Things are starting to warm up.
You can walk outside without a coat and feel pretty safe that a babushka
won't yell at you for not dressing warm enough. Mornings are still cold
though so I still go out with a coat.
Sorry for not sending
photos. At the place which we email it is a little hard to send them but I
should have a lot for you coming next week.
We
are starting to get a feel of the work now. We meet with an old
investigator from our phone (who I actually met a year ago while on
splits in Vlad) and just walked around the city with him and talked. He
has been investigating for several years now. Our meeting went pretty
good. We agreed that we would read the Book of Mormon together and then
play chess after. I am on the lookout for a chess club in Vlad. We met
S from that in Sakhalin and it is a great place to meet people. The
only catch is that when you play chess you usually think more and talk
less. V (a friend we met at family night) is a complete master at the
piano. He has memorized so many classical music songs from the great
composers like Mozart and Bach and Beethoven. We met with him this week,
we were hoping that he would be interested in hearing about what we
believe but after talking to him it seems like no. It's too bad he is a
great kid.
I gave a talk in church. My topic
was the Holy Ghost. I told of story where we were removing bushes out of
the yard and Dad had a feeling to tell Taylor to move from where he was
and then when we started and the chain came untied and flew to the place
that Taylor was at just seconds earlier. My talk went well!
On Saturday
night Elder Barr and Elder De Sandre performed a concert in the church.
They played a lot of different stuff like Imagine Dragons and Mumford
and Sons and stuff like that. We had like 70 people show up! They did
great performing! I was really impressed. They had a a few other people
help them out. They had a violin, a piano, drums and a guitar. Me and
Elder Bacon made banana bread for it. A group of 16-19 olds showed up at
the end. They were nice. Whenever they would talk about something and
want to say that it is cool they would say "that is a beautiful topic"
haha. It was a good way to meet people. It almost makes me wish that I
knew how to play an instrument... almost.
Zone Conference is on my birthday. I hope you all have a great week!
Love
Elder Wilding
