Oleg's Baptism

This is my friend Oleg posing with the sister missionaries. Oleg is sporting his Russian smile. I always give him a hard time about his smile. He actually will crack a smile if you tease him enough.
This is a picture of the font that is in the church building in Vladivostok. It is on the third floor and it is a good thing all of the buildings are made out of concrete. Otherwise, we might find ourselves on the ground floor after filling this up.

This is a picture of Elder Papok and Elder Stewart. They are two great missionaries. Elder Papok comes from Belarussia which is now a country independent from Russia. Elder Stewart is from the U.S. This is also a picture of the font. It is located in the kitchen. No we do not make large quantities of Borsch in it!!!!


This is me with Oleg just before his baptism. I told you if you tease him enough he will actually smile. It was a great day and quite an honor to be asked to baptize him. In case you are wondering Oleg has attended Church for almost a year and finally decided to become a member. He is definately a pioneer here. The Church's growth in membership in the Vladivostok mission is predominately the younger generation.
