Me and one of my best friends, Ahmed

Last District Meeting in Kakhovsky District

 Just doing the Lord's work

My new favorite band

I don't quite get it, but my companion said it was way funny

Holy Cow!!! What a week! I absolutely love General Conference!! I can't believe how fast it went. I kind of have it stuck in my head from childhood that it's way long and there's a million speakers, but after every session I remember thinking "What? That's it? That was only like 5 people" haha
Ok a few items of business. First of all, Steven, your hair cut looks awesome. Way to go, molodets. Good luck with the DNA thing.

Elder Christofferson. That's very exciting that he is coming to El Dorado Stake. And guess what? We just found out that an Apostle will be visiting Moscow this summer too. Guess who. Elder D. Todd Christofferson!! No joke! I don't know when exactly (in June maybe), but he'll be coming here right after he goes there. How cool is that. You better shake his hand and introduce yourselves, because I'm gonna ask about you :)

Concerning your Book of Mormon missionary experience: Have I told you how many times I've used your example to teach members how to share the BoM and taught Elders how to teach members? A lot! You're awesome. Takaya missianerka!
Concerning the assignment to be Assistant to the President... I can't tell you how much I am looking forward to working more closely with President. I love that man
Well, I forgot to bring my list of Q&A questions again, so sorry about that. I haven't forgotten about the idea, I just keep forgetting the questions. 
I look forward to all of your letters (see Elder Evans' talk, Sunday afternoon :) and assure that I am trying to make time to write more often. (there's a batch coming today)
Well, Have a great week. I love you all. The church is true. If you didn't get a chance to listen to the living Prophet and Apostles, go watch them right now. 
Love 
Elder Hamp
