 Indian guys singing near a metro. They were a huge hit

Two guys from English club. They've been with me from the beginning

KIM IS GOING TO ВЛАДИВОСТОК!!!! 

...That's the coolest thing I've ever heard!!! Oh man, she's going to have such a good mission! I can't say much about what it will be like in Vladivostok, but I can say with some confidence that it will be very different from my mission so far. Oh man, I can't believe it. That is too cool.

Concerning the plaque: So which two pictures are our options? I don't remember the winter picture. Maybe it's just because it is fresher in my mind, but I might lean toward the newer one. But I trust you to pick the better one. And the verse is Romans 10:13-15

Concerning badger pin: I don't remember the pin, and the question... Do you know the question? Maybe if you asked me the question, I could tell you the answer. I don't know

Well, things are getting exciting here in Moscow. The merge is coming. We're going to have a mission conference tomorrow, everybody together. It's going to nuts. Well, everyone except the current west assistant. He's having some visa issues coming back from Kasakstan, so he won't be able to get back until the day after. And when he gets back, he and I will start serving immediately, and then we'll head off to Veronezh and Lipetsk. Everyone is getting way into figuring out transfers. Every transfer it gets a little like march madness among a lot of the missionaries, and this transfer is the biggest transfer, so everyone is freaking out a little bit. 

Oh, man Kiril is awesome. He passed the sacrament yesterday. I love that guy

Holy cow! Not much to report this week, but next week should be a good one. 

Have fun. Love you all. Tell Kim congratulations again. And if she has any questions, go ahead and ask. Talk to you soon

Love
Elder Hamp
