Office training with Heiselbetz's

 We were happy to meet with the outgoing office couple - they are such good teachers that we feel after a day and a half that we can help the mission office and financial dept. at least keep it going!

 Here are some of the wonderful young volunteers that we were privilege to serve with in Irkutsk.

 The Perry's - humanitarian couple for all of Russia - stopped by the office - we met at the MTC and also in Helsinki, Finland at the temple.  Wonderful work of PR for the church - being of service and helping many Russian school, hospitals, etc.

 We were lucky to have a Birthday lunch for Elder Smith with the Heiselbetzs and Ishmael - wonderful new member from the country of Mali - he is in Novosibirsk for medical school. He will make terrific contributions when he is back home - helping the church to grow.

 This is where most of my day is now spent - and it is getting easier - it is exciting to be part of keeping the mission running and new sisters and elders coming to this great mission and country.

Polly gave me these scripture cards ... I should have the volunteers tell me the scripture before they can have a candy from the dish!
