Zone Leaders

Elder Butterworth on the left from Australia and Elder Coakwell on the right, an American, but has lived many places in the world with his family have been our zone leaders for the past three months. Two great youth men and great future leaders of the church wherever they will be. We have had many great opportunities to watch them in action to search out less actives with them, to be a part  of the great finding of the elect with them. Elder Coakwell was just transferred to a new assignment. We love him and will miss his fun personality and sense of humor but know that he will be of great service in his new area.

Family Home Evenings or Eating Monday

Family Home Evenings are very delightful here. The young man in the middle hosted FHE at his apartment. Many of our African brothers came,  missionaries with 4 investigators, and some of our CES youth were here tonight. We had quite a feast, as well as laughter and fellowship. We usually have our family home evenings in English, many of our youth know English which has been a great blessing for Elder Bailey and myself. Tonight we watched the First Presidency Christmas Devotional, and now as I wright this post three of those investigators have been baptized this Christmas month.

December Was A Great Month

Here in Kharkov we have a group of outstanding youth. It has been a great privilege for us to be able get to know them and have them be a part of lives. It is always wonderful when we get to spend time with the youth. The young man in front and the young lady on the far right in this picture are new converts this year. They are fantastic and will be a great asset to the church here in Kharkov.
