Moscow Audit Training Dec. 2017

 Dec. 14 - 15 we had Audit training in the Area Offices in Moscow.  Elder Copeland - sitting right is the Area Auditor - his wife is in the white sweater.  Also sitting are the Foleys - they are serving in Kiev, Ukraine.  At the back behind them are the Cooks - they serve in Moscow and then the Smiths - serving in Novosibirsk.  We had a wonderful dinner after the day of training for the men, playing for the women!

 This was the bottled water they brought to  our table!  We laughed at the resemblance to a certain clear alcoholic drink that Russia is famous for!!

 Just had to take a picture of Elder Smith holding the water bottle - he said his late father would have gotten a kick out of it!

 The Cooks had already left - they had a daughter visiting that had been in Moscow years before teaching English.  The Copelands also have a son that does business in Moscow and visits from the US once each month.

 There are two Vegas Malls in Moscow - we thought that was fun since our granddaughter Sydney is teaching high school English in Las Vegas!

Huge Christmas tree and ice skating rink in the Vegas Mall.
