Cool week. I can't think of a good subject.

Dorogaya Sem'ya moya, i Dorogiye Druz'ya Moi,

This past week was a great amazing week in which we saw a lot of miracles and success. We found a few new investigators and we had some great success with our current ones this week. The "Swansons" who we are working with had a cool little miracle. So we try to commit them to baptism last week, which they weren't sure. As Yulia, the wife, was reading the Book of Mormon, she read 3 Nephi 27:20. She took that to be her answer, and now both of them are commited to be baptized on March 16th, that Saturday. We taught them the Word of Wisdom, which Yulia committed to with excitement, but Sergay was a tad hesitant stating that he is not ready. But we gave them the assignment to read Mosiah 18 on their own. Sergay joked that he wants to baptized in the waters of Mormon now. We are seeing them again tonight.

We had another cool miracle happen this week. Our other investigator, Yulian (or Julian), from Moldova, agreed to a baptismal date. He has gone to church for the past month and really participating all three hours. He is already in the Book of Mosiah and he his faith is growing so much. It's way awesome. He prays all of the time now, and he is definitely our most sincere and progressing investigator. We committed him to be baptized on March 9th which he agreed to. So we are getting him prepared for that.

We had 3 other investigators at church yesterday. One of which is a woman named Chinara from Kigurzia, which is a republic next to Kazakhstan. She is awesomely Christian and was really happy to find a Church like ours here in Pskov. She recently moved here and met a member here and he invited her to chuch. We introduced her to the sisters who will be teaching her now. Another investigator that came to chuch is a young guy named Dima. We had called him Sunday morning and woke him up, and he said he won't come. He then called back 5 minutes later and changed his mind. He came and stayed all three hours, and fairly enjoyed it. He is really interested in Joseph Smith and know more about his story. We haven't had much of a chance to really teach him, but we hope to sometime this week. We also had 2 other less active brothers come to church. All around, a very fun and successful week this week.

I love it here! It is getting slightly warmer. Spring is around the corner. Russian Springs are probably the most gorgeous thing in the world.

I love you all. The Church is true! And this is the Lord's work.

Love,
Elder Tekulve
