I was born in 1973. Grew up in Moscow, Russia. Started running in 1984 and so far have never missed more than 3 consecutive days. Joined the LDS Church in 1992, and came to Provo, Utah in 1993 to attend BYU. Served an LDS mission from 1994-96 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Got married soon after I got back. My wife Sarah and I are parents of seven children: Benjamin, Jenny, Julia, Joseph, Jacob, William, and Stephen.

Day of rest. Went to church. Sarah made it as well. So for the first time we went to church as a family of 7 children all there. The talks were on being prepared. The topic keeps repeating, and for a good reason.

The lesson in Sunday school was on missionary work. It was the fifth Sunday, so instead of the Elder's Quorum and Relief Society we had a combined meeting. The topic was following the Holy Ghost.
