This is my beautiful Russian triple combination. I remember when we received these on the mission. The members were so excited to get the Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants and the Pearl of Great Price all together with a new and better translation.
I have again started reading the Book of Mormon in Russian this year and I am so happy that I have. I feel like reading the scriptures in a different language gives you a different perspective and helps me see it all in a different light.
To be honest just the language itself takes me back to my mission. I love to speak it and read it and help others learn it. I am thankful for friends who I can speak Russian with both here and in Russia. I am thankful for the scriptures in Russian and for my opportunity to help people in the MTC to learn it.
For some reason when I speak Russian it's like I remember what I learned on my mission, I remember the Spirit that was with me and the person that I learned to be. I want to keep that with me always and strive to be the best that I can be.
