Mikhail Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Hi everyone, I am wonderign this question. I live in an area where there are hardly any LDS and I feel very alone, esp when I hear of Conference in USA where thousands of members go to meet. I don't know what to do. I have my branch, but it is so small and I feel apart from the rest of the LDS community. any suggestion? Thank you for your answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were members in a land that the gospel was just unfolding in. Similarly, you are in a land that the gospel is just unfolding. That is something to be proud of and treasure in your heart. You are a true pioneer! Now I would be interested in hearing about your Latter-day Saint experience in Russia. You can even send me a private message. If you don't want to share that is fine.

bytebear Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Build up the gospel in your area. Teach your neighbors and friends about the gospel. One person can make a difference.Utah Local News - Salt Lake City News, Sports, Archive - The Salt Lake Tribune Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Mikhail, you came to the right place. There's tons of LDS folks here. Okay, so we really don't get to be with each other physically, but getting involved in the forum is like being with each other in spirit. It's kinda like the next-best-thing. I would love to visit Russia one day. I have a close friend from Azerbaijan and another close friend from Kazakhstan. But I don't know anybody from Russia.

Thank you for your answer.I know what that is like, in my entire country (Israel) there are roughly 100 members. What area of Russia are you in? If you'd rather not say, drop me a private message. Oh, nevermind, I see it is on your profile. I don't know anyone currently in your city, but have some friends from there. I'm really not sure what activities you have, but if there is a chance to go to one of the Eastern European zone YSA conferences, do go. They are very well planned and lots of fun.

Guest Ivo_G Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 How about facebook? I remember seeing a pretty big Russsian LDS group on facebook...sure it's not like meeting somebody in person but it's the next best thing You can talk every day to members from your country, share what's on your mind etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
