Dear dad,

The week went great.   We found 1 new investigator named "V".  He is not your ordinary investigator. During weekly planning of last week I was going through the potentials list and one of the names that I felt impressed to go see was a man named "V".  But I thought..." I don't think I'm going to see him, he speaks Russian and I don't know how we would speak to him".  So the next day, the Spanish sisters gave us a referral for a man named "V", and I was like okay we are definitely going to see him this evening.
So that evening we saw him and he has an amazing story. To sum it up, he lived in Russia and became Christian and then left Russia because of religious persecution. He went to Italy and met a man who had a copy of the Book of Mormon in Russian.  There is so much more about his story I will share later....like him meeting President Benson as well as...Elder Monson.
He wants us to come by again and we are going to find someone that served a mission in Russia and help us out with teaching. so the next visit we are going to talk and help him to be baptized. it was an honor to meet him and we are excited to see what happens next.
I just got my new suit today and it fits great! got it at Macys......and yes I would like the new smaller messenger bag.

love you ,

Elder DeMarco
