Hola Amigos!
We found the coolest guy from Peru that is studying here!
He is awesome. He was friends with the missionaries 3 years ago in Peru and his
uncle and aunt are members. He was planning on getting baptized, I think, but
He went to Russia to study, and then a couple weeks ago an Elder talked to him
while on splits. He asked if we were Mormons, which always gets us a little
worried because Russians have a totally different view of us, but then he said
He wanted to go on a mission, and we told him He would have to get baptized to
do that, so he said OK. And then we taught him the Plan of Salvation yesterday.
Wow just a taste of Winder's mission...it's seems pretty nice to me.
Also found a Mexican! The goal is to make Russia a low-key
south America Mission. He only knows Russian and I think it's so weird that we
talk to each other in Russian. I feel like we should just be able to talk in
Spanish or English, but I can't speak Spanish and he can't speak English.
We are working with this Armenian guy who is not
technically an investigator because He is an interesting case, but I'm really
excited for him. He is actually reading the BoM and is such a deep thinker. I
love him.
This area has been kind of the dragging in one in our mission,
so he is putting a lot of pressure on my comp and I to get it going, and man we
are excited!
We have been so blessed with some good people down our
paths and I don't know what the problem was, I've been busier than ever. We
have been hyping up our activities and making new ones. We had this skit night,
and than had our game night in the senior couple’s house and I felt like we
were throwing the hottest party on the block; we got 45 people to squeeze into
that apartment, and then we started a sports day. I'm stoked for the future
here, we are just trying to hype all the other volunteers here that this is the
time for Samara, and it seems to be working. I love my comp. He is such a Christlike
guy and I learn so much from him.
We went to this animal shelter in the boonies! It was
crazy we shoveled a whole courtyard of snow and picked the ice all day. We also
got to walk the huge dogs around so that was cool. It was sad to see the living
conditions of the animals, all the ears of the dogs fell off because of the
cold.
Some fun adventures this past week, exciting things to
come. The BOOK of MORMON is so true. I love it with all my heart and I can
never deny it. What an exciting time to be alive. I love you all.

We have 1 investigator, that Peruvian guy. And then we
have the Armenian and I think we can get him more serious about the gospel, I
just want to get him hooked first. And then we have this guy who left the
church and took his name out and he is ready now, but we are waiting on him to
forgive some people he is just filled with to much pride right now. But Yeah
I'm excited!
