Swan Lake Ballet

 We feel so blessed to get to serve with these awesome young volunteers!  The did pull a fast one on us, however!  The Ballet Swan Lake was playing at the theater - they asked us if we wanted to go with them ... of course!  Then when we asked if they were able to get tickets and how much do we owe them ... they said they were sold out when they went to get them.  Oh well, maybe next time.  So two weeks later Sister MacCabe called us and asked if we wanted to go with them on a teaching appointment - Friday at 6:30 - sure!  We were happy to do that.  Turns out they had tickets all along and we had a great time ... they would not let us give them any money - sweet volunteers!

 Sister Wilcox and Sister Wilford - such beautiful sisters.  Funny thing - Sister Lamb called and asked if we wanted to come to the mission home for dinner on Friday evening ... I told her we were going on a teaching appointment with the sisters.  So we were sitting in our seats before the ballet started and Pres. and Sister Lamb walked in!  They were about 10 rows in front of us but at intermission we
went to say hello and I told her.  "They lied to me, so I lied to you!" We all had a good laugh.  And we were invited to the mission home for dinner and games on Saturday evening!

 We are privileged to serve with these beautiful, caring, deceiving sisters!

On our row - we hope to get to the theater again - you don't need to speak Russian to enjoy the music and dancing .. just to get tickets!  There was an 81 piece orchestra that was amazing - everything was totally the best!  Especially the surprise!!
