Every day there is an assigned brother to 'man' the desk in the asuntola (guest house) where guests to the temple stay. Wayne got the opportunity to be there today. It was a special day because the Russians that had been here this week were leaving and he got to be there for the send off!!!

The young man with Wayne is one of the Russian youth. He was very anxious to get a picture with Veli Allgaier before he left! What a great group of youth and adults that were here.

This was a picture of the group as they were loading the bus to head back to Russia. There were many tears of joy shed......joy that they could be here for a week; and also tears of sadness......that they had to leave and won't be back for a very, very long time. Some of them may not be able to come back again because it costs a lot for them to come! We will miss them and look forward to seeing them again.....sometime, somewhere!
