TRANSFER WEEK

We picked up Elder Yeremeyev on Wednesday.  He is standing next to me.  Dad assigned him to be trained in one of our branches in Nizhny.  We found out after he arrived that he is a concert pianist.  Isn't it interesting that the branch he is serving in didn't have anyone to play the piano--until now?  That President Collins truly is inspired.



The Monson's finished their remarkable service as missionaries and left for their home in UT.
We didn't get a Sr. couple to take their place.  Bummer for us.  Sr. Couples are wonderful.  We need some.



Elder Terrill went back "out into the field" for his last transfer before he goes home.  He was a great AP.  He is excited to be a full-time missionary again. 



Thursday night we had a farewell dinner and testimony meeting with our missionaries that left for their homes on Friday.  Elders:  Russell (new AP), Wheeler, Ficklin, Mitchell, and Cannon (AP) and Sister Zonova.   As you can see in the photo below that Sister Zonova is beautiful.  She is as sweet as she is beautiful and she has dimples that are to die for.  I love dimples. She spent the night with us.  Everyone of these people were amazing missionaries and I miss them already.

All your missionaries look wonderful, as do you and the President. You are right, Sister Zonova is darling! Where is Elder Ficklin from? Brett and Julie were really good friends with some Ficklin's from Utah when Brett was going to school. Julie worked for their family. Just curious. I tried to call you... then my phone went dead, then I couldn't get the call to connect...then I got busy...then it was too late! Whew! But I will try you again. I love you, dear friend!!

How cool to have a concert pianist. Looks like you have a good group of missionaries. too bad about the sr. couple though. I cant remember who was telling me, but they said someone was suppose to go to russia for a mission, but the husband went in for a physical and came out with a lot of problems so now they aren't going. too bad. well you guys look great. love you
