President Uchtdorf visits Yekaterinburg

Recently, President Uchtdorf visited Yekaterinburg, Russia. This is the area where we served our missions. I read an article and found a quote the sums up the wonderful people I call part of my family in Russia.
"President Uchtdorf noted that the Ural Mountains are sometimes called “The Gates of Siberia.” Then he said: “You are the gates to the future of the Church. You are true pioneers in the best sense of the word, and others will follow. Generations to come will praise your name because you are not ashamed of the gospel and you did not have fear.”
They are an incredible people and the Lord loves them dearly. I am so happy to know that President Uchtdorf visited them and that they had the experience of listening to him speak to them face to face.
