Another week has blown by! I hardly know what to say. I think I'll just share one pretty cool story. Last Monday we got a call during p-day. The man, Igor, said he met us about a month and a half ago and he wants to meet. I suggested meeting the next day to which he replied, "can't you do it today?" I said, "I suppose so." In a few hours we met with him. He's 36 and used to be a seaman. Three years ago he found a Bible in Russian at port in Australia. He started reading and believed. He didn't really have any idea what's different between this Church and others, so we got to explaining it. He asked, "How does baptism work here?" I explained how it works and what must come first, namely faith and repentance, then asked, "It sounds like something you're interested in?" He said, "Yes." I then simply posed the question, "Do you want to be baptized?" He again replied, "Yes." So, we had a great spiritual first lesson with him and it was a pretty sweet miracle. We haven't been able to get a hold of him since then and he didn't come to Church yesterday, but we have faith we'll be seeing some more of him. Not too many people have called us on my mission. I know that the Lord's hand is in this work. I can't think of anything else to tell about from this week, though we've been pretty busy all the time.
This is Christ's restored Church. I love it. It's a privilege to serve here.
