Police Yikes Police

Well today was Zone class at our apt. Nothing new, right we have them once a week, Wrong, WRONG!!!
The Zone Leaders walked up to our building and outside and passed a policeman that said you you where are you going? They said to meet with people in this building he asked for their passports they showed them theirs and he said I will come with you!!! So our bell rings and they say Guess who we brought with us????  He comes in and says what is going on? I want to see the person who lives here.  Well I was standing the closest to the door and I said me then the Elders said with her husband.  He wanted our passports well we got the originals not the copies he looked at them and said I will take them and meet you at the office.  The Elders yelled net or no no you won't, you will not leave here with them.  He say Okay where are you registered? not at our address.  WE and the others missionaries give the Churches address as our registered address. He stated that is wrong and we were to with him. He wants to talk with us alone in the other room,  the Elders tell him that will not do because we know no Russian the first time that is a good thing.  By this time my lunch is burning Richard is NOT happy and the Elders are yelling No No we will call our registrar so they call the Sister of the Branch that registers all the missionaries and gets her on the phone to talk with this policeman.  The Elders tell me to give him some cookies (big bribe right)  so I get the cookies.  He eats and asks for our rent agreement.  Then he tells us we are stupid for paying as much rent as we do.  He takes a copy of our passports puts them in his bag but gives us our originals.  Says he will check if we are breaking the Law and will call if he finds anything wrong. We try to give him a Book of Mormon but he refuses it. Like we would want to teach him anyway. Then after 40 minutes with him going through our papers he leaves. Wow are we not in the USA--- we are not!! have WE been shaken Yes we have.  WE must be doing some good here cause Satan is stepping up his game against us.  Thank Heavens we are on the Lord's Team.  He will hold us and protect us and be our guard against evil.

  1. That was probably an adventure and experience that
    is very memorable but very frightening! You could have ended in jail or maybe sent home? We have no doubt that you are doing the Lord's work and that
    you are loved by the people you are working with--however not as much as we love you. Lynn and Judy
