This morning, we arose a little later than normal after our late night last night. We didn't skip our time with our AIT students, but rather we went up later than normal. We found two of our new students, Brothers Yanke and Mardonlou. We met brother Yanke for a moment last week, but didn't have time to talk to him. This week we took a few minutes and had a friendly visit with him. He seems to be rather shy or timid, but we hope he will take the opportunities to come out and join us in our activities. He has 3 other battle buddies there in his platoon, so he shouldn't have a problem coming out. He was just baptized 3 weeks ago, so we want to be able to help him grow and progress. Brother Mardonlou is the product of a Muslim father and an LDS mother. He has two brothers who joined the church during their teenage years and both served missions. This young man wants to join the church too, but wants his family to all be involved, so he may wait awhile. He was thrilled that we contacted him and went to visit him this morning.
This evening we went to the Esteps to help celebrate their Grandson's birthday. Several families came out to join the celebration. We all had a good time together, but you could tell that many of us were tired after our late night last night.
