Marriage Advice

13 December 2005
"Holy crap - I saw the scariest thing ever today on our way home. Hanging on a building was this - 2006. Time is going way too fast. I just can't believe it. I don't want to think about it, but the time can't go any faster. Who thought that time would freak me out like that.

Today was the day of doing all the hud. It was an alright day in spite of that - awesome in fact. This morning we contacted on the street, and that went really well. We were at Раиса's - the lady who smokes and can't quit - and we got marriage council from her. She talked about how love is the most important part of marriage and about how you must show great respect to your wife. We of course knew all of this because we have gospel in our lives. We are sure blessed.

We went across the street, and made a baptismal program and then we went to вокзал and got ourselves tickets to Samara for ZL Council in a week. Well, by that time we needed to eat and so we went to Блин Хаус - the little pancake place that was pretty decent. We paid for our phone, and then also for a couple other bills.

To end the night, we had a baptism! Elder Brimley and Boster baptized Вера Федоровна. There were about 20 people there, and it was awesome. The spirit was way strong, and the Lord has another one of his children on the path back to him. What an amazing thing baptism is. It is truly the only way back. After the baptism, we stood at the bus stop forever, and then finally decided to walk as nothing was going - it took us 1 1/2 hours to get home, but we had a good laugh about it in the end."
