We had a great Mother's Day conversation. The amazing part is the ability to Skype and have a 5 way conversation with Elder Kenneth, (Moscow) Elder Jordan, (England) KJ, (Phoenix) Richelle, (Herriman:in hospital) and with us, (Herriman). The big news was the boys got to see Richelle's new baby! (Kellan) Below is Kenneth's letter! We apprecaite all your support and prayers! May you all be blessed as we have been by having Son's who are serving! We love you all!

Subject: A new companion!
Well it was great to see you all on Mother's Day! Was so excited to see Kellan! He is definitely a cutie! It was great to see the family and talk to everyone. I am so grateful for your love and support and all that you do for me.
Well I really don't have any time to write this week because we got home from Moscow this morning at eleven and we have SO MUCH to do this P-day to get my companion registered in the city so that they don't kick him out! So let you tell me about my companion. His name is Elder Eliason and he is from Lariamie Wyoming! He is awesome! We are gonna do some work up in here in Voronesh! It was sad to see Elder Borodin go home, but I know that he was ready. He was a great missionary and a good example.
This past week was also the 9th of May! Victory Day! This is a huge day in Russia! It is like the 4th of July in America! It was crazy! There were parades and we watched fireworks and watched a lot of small shows that they put on on the street. A crazy day where we were not aloud to wear our nametags and contact because a lot of people were drunk!!!
We had quite the trip to Moscow and back! Haha we missed our train back to Voronesh so we had to buy new tickets for a later train. We had quite an adventure getting back into town!! But things are going good and I am excited to get to work with my new comp! We are gonna do awesome1
Before I go I just want to share a small experience with you all. Elder Borodin and I were on a bus and I saw this guy staring at me and so of course we started talking. To be honest at first he was not very nice at all!! He was of course very skeptical and was wondering why some american was here and didn't hide the fact that he doesn't believe that God exists. But, we talked the entire bus ride and very soon his attitude changed. By the end of the conversation it had changed from, "you stupid american god doesn't exist" to "you know what I am really glad that you started talking to me because you have changed my mood around. I am really happy right now where as before I was really sad." It was just a small experience, but it was the kind of thing that missionaries look for everyday. We are here to help people feel God's love and to lift peoples spirit and I felt it and saw it when talking to this guy. This gospel is true. This is God's work. We have a calling to help his children and through small and simple things we are reaching our goal!
I love you all! Thank you for all that you do! Remember who you are! :)
