Hey! So I will stay another transfer here in Novo, 4 transfers, I'll 
almost see every season, I'm not sure how I feel about it yet but to be 
honest I really wanted to get a transfer and experience something new in
 the mission, but that's not gonna happen for at least 5 more weeks. 
Anyways, we went to Krasnodar, then to Rostov, and then back down to 
Krasnodar this week for Elder Belnap's Visa trip, the entire mission was
 down in Rostov, except for 2 missionaries who were at the police 
station in Taganrog near Rostov because they got attacked a month or so 
ago, but we took a huge mission picture! Huge as in all 30 of us Elders 
were in it haha. Well other than that there isn't much to report, other 
than I'll be giving brad my clothing when he leaves this week, I'll give
 him your phone numbers so he can get a hold of you. Just set the 
clothing in my room and lock it up, it's some of my favorite DI classic 
shirts, hopefully they can remain intact and unused while I'm still 
here. I'm attaching a picture of a bucket of fresh cherries that Andrei 
and Artyom picked for us from their trees at home. They taste great! 
Russians are pretty good about growing there own food here. I'm also 
attaching some photos of the trips back and forth that we had this week.
 There's one with Elder Roberts and I, and one with Elder Sprouse and I,
 they are 2 of my favorite Elders in this mission, they are both serving
 in Sochi together, Elder Srpouse is the one with blonde hair and Elder 
Roberts is the one with brown hair. I'll attach another one of a huge 
Provoslavnic (Russian Orthodox) temple we visited while we were in 
Rostov. But that's about all for this week, the new President comes this
 transfer, so we'll see how that goes, he sounds pretty cool though, 
another Elder in our mission was set apart by him I guess? Anyways, I 
love you guys, stay safe, and may the Force be with you!
