PresidentUstyuzhaninov, 

 

This week was awesome! We were able to have the Krassnadar sisters up here for splits. Both of them seem to be doing well and to be enjoying their missions. It was awesome getting lots of "end of mission advice" from Sister Pack and to practice my Russian a lot more with Sister Klevakana. I love both of them so much. Such great sisters who have a power and a motivation for the work. While we were not able to schedule as many meetings as we had hopes (probably from the side-effects of New Years), we still were able to go contacting, get studies in, and get one or two meetings in. Overall, it was a successful time and well worth it. 

In addition to working with the sisters this past week, we celebrated New Years together!! My love for Russia grew 10x this week. I loved all the celebrations and excitement and well-wishes going around the city. However I am still a little sad there wasn't snow! As much as I don't like the snow and the cold, its kind of a bummer to have it be cold without the snow. But, I love Rostov and wouldn't change this area for any other area.  

Come Follow Me Book of Mormon started. I have started following along. So far so good. 

This upcoming week will be Sochi splits and Sister Dzierzon's last week on the mission. Hopefully all will end well and it will be a good last week. 

Thank you for all you do President!
