Hello everyone! So about the title of this weeks email, when I say I
feel like a missionary in Mexico, it's because the yesterday we had 2
or 3 people just walk up to us on the street that weren't crazy or drunk
and seriously wanted to know about the church and wanted invitations!
It's way rare in Russia for something like that to happen, and the
stereotype among missionaries is that it happens in Mexico and Spanish
missions all the time, apparently it's actually true though from at
least what I've seen stat wise and from talking to people who served
there. I guess when I get home I'll be able to relate at least one
experience now to Elder Pathakis haha. This week we also played some
Basketball for family night with Brad and his friend Nick, Nick also
works for chevron and is from America, it was awesome, I haven't played
though in like 5 months though and I was already a bad player to begin
with so you can imagine how that went haha. But none the less it was
still a competitive game though, because well to say in an alluding way,
basketball didn't start in Russia.
I'm attaching the mission photo, a photo of yesterday
when President Nechiporov visited our branch to say goodbye, and a photo
of my new Elder Travis nametag. Other than all that though this week
wasn't super eventfull other than we met some cool people though some
investigators and members, and we just had a standard week contacting
wise, I haven't sent my package yet but I'll be doing that soon, I have
the box and nearly everything ready though, and I'm making sure there
are no mistakes by having one of the members here help me and double
check everything, I don't wanna get ripped off, as you can imagine, the
public opinion of America and Americans in general usually isn't that
warm, and if that's with the people, imagine what the government is
usually like. This week the AP's are coming down for splits and later in
the week we are going on a hike up in the mountains with some members
and investigators, so that should be fun. We also took a branch photo
yesterday, I'll send it when I get it from the branch president here.
Well that's about it for this week, I love you guys, stay safe! Send my
love to everyone at home for me!
-Elder Skene
