Kristin & Blaine
New Sisters:Bell and Zagladko
Sisters: Shesternevo, Aidarbekevo (she wasn't there)
This last week has been full of missionaries coming and going. Busy, but fun! First we had Kyle Howard and his Dad, Hugh from LaVirken, UT come visit. They also went to St. Petersburg and unfortunately Hugh got his wallet pick-pocketed in the metro there. Blaine Hale was in Switzerland with his fiance, Kristin's family watching soccer games. They are both from Alpine, UT. They came to Moscow to visit. She stayed with us and Blaine stayed with mission friends. Kristin is so cute and I am so happy about their upcoming wedding on 08-08-08. We got 8 new missionaries on Wednesday. Hip-hip-hooray. We told 7 missionaries good-bye. Boohoo--seriously, this was the most emotional I've been yet. I'm getting worse. We had our Zone Leaders' Council and fed them lunch on Friday. Taylor Wright from Kaysville, UT is doing a Russian studies program right now in St. Petersburg so he came to Moscow to meet his Dad who was here on business. We had them over on Saturday night. Taylor's girlfriend, Meredith, waited for him while he was here serving. Now he is waiting for her while she is serving in Chile. She gets home in December. Because there was a meal involved with each group that meant a lot of cooking and cleaning up for Dad and I. Tiring--but worth it. I feel so blessed to have these missionaries--old and new--be a part of my life forever.
