The Six Man Melatonin Adventures

The Throne That Was
Prepared for Me Ahead of Time

We have been having a blast this past week. 

Because my apartment is still under a MAJOR remodeling, the four of us are currently staying in a small two man apartment. Trying to get use to the new living conditions has been the thing to cause the most problems (pranks) in the apartment, most of which involve Melatonin.

We all sleep in the same room on the floor with the mattresses we brought and a few of the Elders like to go to bed early, but that's hard to do with the rest of us milling around the apartment getting ready for the night. So the Elders who go to bed early take Melatonin and just pass out in their beds.

One night we took it upon ourselves to see how much we could stick on one of the sleeping elders before they woke up...... We got pretty far, this Elder can sleep like a rock and we were about to put a mattress on him, but one of us tripped and fell on him and ruined the delicate operation.

We also have little nerf guns that were left behind by the previous Elders, so every once in a while there will be darts flying around in our apartment. We sometimes have a some difficulties getting work done every once in a while.

Well I said last week that this area was dead. We now have received 4 promising referrals that we are going to get lessons with this week. Not only that but we have been working hard to set up lots of appointments with some of the people we used to teach all the time. This area is coming back to life! Now all we need is a to get a few people on date for baptism. 

Brrr, it's cold in Moscow right now. Just in the past week we have gone from 80s-60s and from 60s- low 40s, it's like fall is taking a break this year and winter is stepping up to take the mantle. I don't know how long it will take till it starts snowing sideways but I will be ready with both of my awesome coats that survived my dad's mission.

I don't know what much else I can talk about so I'm just going to share a scripture.

James 1:22-25

22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:

24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.

25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

More Nice Sunsets

We live in a town where many different people try to "Anti" us on the doctrine we believe, one of which being that we believe that Faith in Jesus Christ and acting on our faith (Works). We can't take the help we have been given for granted, we need to act on what the lord has promised us in the scriptures so that we may be able to receive the blessings he has in store for us. I know he has blessings in store for those who keep the commandments and take what is revealed to us to heart. I say that in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
