AAAHHHH........

AND MEET........

YES, it did snow again last night. Almost blizzar-like conditions as we walked home from the temple! Wayne spent 4 hours this morning (from 5:00 - 9:00 a.m. shoveling the heavy, wet snow). BUT.....it warmed up to about 45 this afternoon. AAAHHH.....so sweet. As we walked home from the temple tonight, this is what the sidewalks looked like!!!! CLEAR!!! Nice!!! There may be hope afterall......

AND, a couple of sweet folks we want you to meet.......

Glaina Pershina from Arbatski, Russia. She is a single adult and comes to the temple quite often. We just love her to pieces. She is wonderful. She got a cross stitched bookmark, of course!

And Veli Leif Back from Pietarsaari. He is a Swedish Finn!!! From that little 'pocket' of Swedes on the Western coast of Finland. We spent quite a bit of time talking with him when we visited Pietarsaari on our two-week break. A wealth of information he is!!

AND.....Kathrina Ledkneova from Russia. She has been called to serve a mission in Samarra!! She will be leaving for the Provo MTC on May 11th. It was wonderful to see her again. I gave her a cross stitch bookmark last time she was here (for her own endowment). This time she got a felt 'heart' to take home with her.

Galina doing some writing on the asuntola desk. Just a cute pose.

It has been a wonderful week.....and a very busy one. Not quite done yet.....busy day tomorrow with a lot of Estonians coming!!
