Baptism

After the Open House the signs had to be taken down and it was pouring outside but these brave missionaries weren't afraid. Even Elder Williams managed to stay on the wall.
Tatiana is 71 years old. She has had a hard life but is so happy to have the gospel and the members as her family now.
Sister Yakshenkova was so happy to see her baptized before she finished her mission went home.
Andrea, a neighbor and friend, and the one that baptized her has been a good influence on her.
This young man is the Chef for the Open House. He's very quiet but a great cook.

Elder Imahazi, the video under this was also transferred. He is a great missionary but things had been slow but the day before he left he was able to set two baptismal dates. He was on cloud nine. This is him and Elder Bringhurst singing at Tatiana's baptism, don't they sound great?

Changes and Opera

Well, a lot has happened since I wrote last. First we moved to a different apartment the 6th of March. It's a long story but we like our apartment and it's cheaper and closer to the church. We lost two of our missionaries this last transfer so we took some of the investigators to the Opera for a farewell. Nadia is an investigator who is so nice, she's still having a hard time saying yes.
Sister Yakshenkova is leaving. She's was such a great missionary. She's from Russia and her time is up. We got a new one from Utah so it will be fun to get to know her.
We had an Open House at the church and it was very stressful but we had more people come than at any other time. Look at the refreshment. Chicken and little sandwiches. The Chef is 16 years old, he did a great job.
Nick and Masha was doing the Young Men and Young Women. I helped the next day and told about the Word of Wisdom which is on the right side and she told about the law of Chastity on the left side of the board.
This is what welcomed everyone in. I think every year will be better and better because they know now what it takes to be a success. The video is from the Opera enjoy!
