Good morning everybody-

Well we have had some good times around here- just doin’ some work and finding and teaching! Glad to hear your all doing well, glad to hear that you had a good time with the one and only Elder Taylor! So crazy to see!

Of course the number one highlight for the week is with Sasha- we basically finished up all the lessons and he passed a baptismal interview yesterday morning! So, we're planning for this Saturday with him! It was pretty cool to sit there with him for about 20 minutes as we waited for the meeting to start- we just kinda talked about how we had met and things and just the way that Heavenly Father had prepared him for accepting the gospel. He had told me that he noticed that as he started meeting with us, he noticed that his life just became more in order and things, but in particular as he began reading and understanding the Book of Mormon he noticed how he got the order in his life and things became more clear for him. Anyways, just another testimony of the Book of Mormon and the power it brings as people will just read it!

Besides him, we've got some other great people that we are working with- it has been a fun last couple of weeks. We've been working with a Sergei guy that had met with missionaries a few years ago and still has "I need thee every hour" memorized! Haha so funny the random things we run into! But he loves the church and is going to get baptized on the 30th of this month as well.

Anyways, we're running low on time. The church is true- I am so grateful for the confirmation that I see of this every day as we do the Lord's work! Love you all!
