New letter from my son in Russia!!!!

You got that crazy look in your eye! Yeah I know. He is always telling me about the work there. I'm so happy for him. So what we were thinking is that when we got back from our missions we would go to BYU and do that thing you were talking about. Getting us a place and living there with amber. I don't really want to go straight into school but if i have too that's ok, I guess. Then we could make a trip back to Russia on spring break. That would be really cool. Or a year later whatever. So you guys need to work on getting me into BYU and doing whatever I have you do to get in. If not I'll go back to Idaho and then transfer. So be thinking about that k. I know I have until Oct before I get home but that will come quick. So here are some pictures of my trip. everything went smoothly. I am in my area. I love my companion. He was in chiley with me. his name is Elder Olsen. He is very obedient and motivated. He is just what I need. We are in a small district of four and as of yesterday we all live in the same apartment until they find there own. The first day we found a family who was ready to hear the Gospel. They are a wonderful family, who was looking for something to strengthen there family. I'm very excited about them. Last night we had a meeting with another investigator who has a testimony in the church but is a Little scared to make the commitment of baptism. He has a twin who isn't that interested but hangs out with us when we come by. Sacrament meeting was awesome. It's the smallest branch I've been to so far. But we will take care of that with the lords help of course. I love the work and it will go forward. I am trying harder for this area. I love it and there is a lot of potential here. I love you all. Hey dee write me and tell me how everything is going. Amber and Jono. I haven't heard from you in a while. Remember I don't always have time to write but you sure do. You have all week. So write me something please. Oh tell jon I said hi and I hope he's doing good. That's a bummer you guys had to move back in but its great because its an empty house now. So its a good thing. Giving you lonely people some company. I love you all and I want you to know that I love the work and that I have a testimony that this is the true church. And my testimony grows every day. Pray for me and the work in Surgut and for my language study. I'm speaking good. There is always room for improvement of course. The Russian language is amazing and I love learning it and speaking it. Missions are great but you don't have to be full time to be a missionary. Help the work in cali. they need you. It is so much easier for the work if you just invite one of your friends. It is worth it. I wish I wouldn't of been afraid back home. Its easier for our friends to believe in our word than it is to teach a stranger. I love you family. Serve others and they will see your greatness and example. Elder Harper
