Subject: Hello Family

It's only been a few days since I last sent a letter, President Wooley changed P-Day from Thursday to Monday no I will be writing home every Monday!

The past few days Elder Smith and I have been in Moscow for Zone conference, Zone Leadership Council, and for elder Smith to do a Visa Trip. It was the first time that I have been on my mission when I have been at a Zone Conference with all of the missionaries there! (Usually Zone Conference is just given to a few Zones at a time at different times throughout the transfer) It was so cool to see the whole mission! I got to see Elder Nutt and Elder Bybee and all of my good friends. At Zone Conference we talked a lot about different ways of contacting and about Agency. Zone Conference is always a good source of inspiration to keep you going for the next transfer!!

Well we now have an Elder Couple serving in Yaroslavl! Yay! They are awesome! Their name is Forsyth and they are from some city in Washington. They are a very young Elderly Couple about 50 years old and are very active and excited to be here! It has been crazy having them here for the past two days because they obviously have no idea what is going on or where anything is so we have had to be with them every step of the way. Today we are going to bee looking for an apartment for them. Yesterday was a very tiring day with them because I had to translate for them for 4 strait hours and no break! Talk about an intense migraine!

Unfortunately we have only been traveling since we last talked so we have not really met with any investigators so there is no new updates with them. But, the Forsyth's have some great ideas for getting the fire going in this city! Elder Forsyth went to Venezuela on his mission and was there right went amazing things started happening and missionary work started going crazy and he has brought some fire here to Russia and is excited to add to the work. We are excited to have them and I can't wait to see what cool things we come up with! Haha our new motto that he has taken from Gordon B. Hinckley is, "Maybe it is impossible, but we are going to do it anyways!" Haha I think that is a good inspirational motto.

Well I hope you have a great week and I will talk to you next Monday! :) Remember who you are!
