ST. PETERSBURG, RUSSIA WEEK

We love to see our friends come from Russia. They are so faithful. Some of them we have seen now for the past 19 months. We love them!!

Above is Brat Vischeslav Kondratiev ja Sistra Irina Kondratieva. Yes, I made a bookmark for her. In fact, when we visit St. Petersburg next week (with the Michie's) the Kondratiev family have invited us to dinner at their home after church on Sunday! We are looking forward to that.

And, above here, is Brat Igor Balashov ja Sistra Janina Balashova have become good friends as well. And, of course, Sistra Balashova got a bookmark.

Veli Zaretskji, known as the paparazzi, always has his camera out! We love to take pictures of him taking pictures of others. I guess that makes us a paparazzi too....huh! These are folks from the Zaretskji's branch in St. Petersburg.
