from russia with love.

He made it perfectly clear that his next letter will be sent from Russia with love.

That's right. 
Our sweet Elder Flitton is making his way to RUSSIA tomorrow morning!!
He is undeniably excited and cannot wait to finally get into the field and teach some Russians!
He has had a fantastic last two weeks in the MTC.
He was released as Zone Leader, trained the new zone leader, and started packing all of his things and getting ready for the mother land.
His language, he says, is sufficient. He knows all of the lessons and could recite them in his sleep, but he is mostly nervous about the regular conversations. 
And that is where the Lord comes in. Keat has such undying faith. It is truly inspiring.
His letters have been so great, he has changed. He is definitely becoming a man, and I absolutely love it!
Of course he is the same old Keat we all love so much, and always will be. But if these last two months are any indication of the enormous growth that will take place in the next 22 months, we are all in for a treat!

Please keep Keat and the Elders in your prayers for their safe travels and arrival to Yekaterinburg!
I promise these updates will be more consistent. 

And there may or may not be a post about a certain phone call that happens in just a few short hours :)
