AYE - AYE - AYE

WHERE IS THE TIME GOING!

WAY TOOOOOOO FAST ON THIS END!

And way tooo many 'GOOD-BYES'! Getting harder by the day!

Wayne was talking to this Russian Mission President earlier in the day. OOPS....they missed their cab. It took a little longer in the temple than anticipated. I suppose there is always another way to get to the airport.

AAAHHHHH......these great people.....the Ojala's. How we will miss them.....

AND there are the Jäkkö's.......we are going to miss them too! How is it possible that we have to leave this wonderful country and our wonderful friends!! We will have to come back some time for a visit!!

It is St. Petersburg Russia VIIKKO.....wow are there a lot of our friends here this week. We are hoping for a GROUP PICTURE Friday night before they have their Testimony Meeting! This great lady is SVETLANA GLEBOVA.....Sisar Zaretskaja's best friend in the whole, wide world for at least the last 32 years! She came to the temple for the first time this week. Guess what she got.....Yes, indeed, a cross stitch heart.

Sistra Vesalova was here for a couple of days as well. She won't be around for the group picture. We got a picture of her tonight! What a great lady and a wonderful husband. We will sorely miss them!!

REALITY CHECK......

So we got an e-mail from Tina today!! She knows how difficult this is for us to leave. She sent us some pictures from our yard at home so we could see some beautiful things we will be coming home to. FLOWERS!!! Actually blooming.....even the weeds look good. She knows how much we LOVE to work in our yard! This is helping Tina.....Kiitos....Kiitos....Kiitos!

The wonderful week in the temple is coming to a very quick close.....we will just enjoy it as much as we possibly can.
