A young elder popped up to translate for him, dad waved him back down.
Elder Cannon with his great posture stood at the podium of our very nice church/chapel and bore his testimony in full Russian. He had memorized what he wanted to say and did it all from memory. He had everyone's attention. He made one small mistake and then corrected it to the beaming smile from his companion.
Russian is very difficult to say perfect, there is an issue of " noun gender" and then the word endings change based on the gender of the word. Amazingly he had it all correct or so we are told.
It was genuine stated, with the power that a testimony can carry, and it was an effort of love to speak in the native tongue.
I am blessed with a good companion, I think I will not ask for a transfer. (of course you know I am the blog writer, right)
