MEETING OUR NEW MISSION PRESIDENT !!

Pictures make life so memorable. This is our Missionary Zone Conference. Great memories, wonderful counsel and love shared by all. We are so blessed to be able to serve with these fine young men. Heavenly Father has blessed them in their diligent preparation to come to Russia to serve their missions. We are in awe at their leadership and spirituality. We agree with President Gordon B. Hinckley when he said that the future of the church is in our youth and they are so capable. The Lord indeed has Valiant Servants!!!

This is the evening that Pres. & Sis. Pratt and Elder A. left on the train from Khabarovsk. Elder A. going to the MTC. His Mom and 'Granny' are so proud of him and justly so!

July 17, 2009 President and Sister Pratt arrived in Khabarovsk, Russia! They came to our home while waiting to check into their hotel and we had the marvelous privilege of having them visit, attend missionary lessons to investigators and have lunch with us. What a delight! President and Sister Pratt are such great examples of love - Christlike love - and we were so blessed to spend a few days with them as they led us in our Zone Conference. Our Russia Vladivostok Mission has another wonderful leader. We are so blessed. Since we are only branches and saints meeting together in our mission, President Pratt is our District President also. Sunday night, July 19, 2009, we had the wonderful privilege of having Pres. Pratt set apart a missionary in our home. Евгений Геннадьевич Абубакирова was set apart to serve in the Russia Rostov Mission. This young elder represents our Khabarovsk Branch very well. He is in Utah right now at the Salt Lake Temple, Temple Square and the MTC. He will be another great missionary!!!
