Will you ask him why he converted, and then post his story?

Is your family still religious?

Why did you immigrate?

Not sure I will.
Yes, they are. We did not baptize our kids which to them is a huge deal and they can't seem to understand or accept our way of thinking. We will let our kids chose what to do when they will grow up. If they want to become mormons, muslims or catholics, it will be their choice and not ideology forced by parents. I had no choice when I was a kid and would much rather gone fishing, reading science books or playing with friends on numerous Sundays than spend time in cold and boring churches during medieval age rituals like masses. Makes me mad just to think about all precious time wasted.
Simple reason - economic immigration.

To long of a story to share here. And to difficult for people from Western world to understand unless you visited any of post Soviet Union countries in 90's. Maybe one day when I will be visiting Utah we can sit down and I can tell you.

Last time I was there in 1998 so I am not reliable source of information about current conditions over there. Depends what is your purpose of travel I guess. I know few folks who go there regularly for fishing and swear by it.

Yeah well, I'm asking from the year 2029...because I doubt I'll be going anytime too soon....so it's okay. Though If I heard good things about it I might move it up my mental travel list. I think the appeal would be centered mostly around historical Moscow/St. Petersburg sites..... so any contemporary conditions wouldn't really matter, unless they blew up those places or something. I don't know though, all these Lenin statues you see getting yanked down everywhere in the old USSR territories on the news makes me think I might miss the Russian "feel" if I wait too much longer.
