Post Holiday Fun

 Elder Smith met us for dinner at the food court in the Mall - then we went to the evening performance of the Opera - Barber of Seville!  Singing in Italian,  subtitles in Russian - and these two beautfiul girls to translate for us!!  lovely evening.  January 8th, 2019.

 Sweet Ploy helping take down the Christmas decorations at our apartment - It was so fun to have 'grand - children' living with us - for even 10 days!

 Dasha at my desk in the mission office...she is making Russian translation of the famous quotes that I only had in English ... she said: "everyone who comes in here speaks Russian!"  She's right and she researched every General Conference quote and made a pretty copy in Russian and then wrote the English translation of the back of the card.  I enjoyed using both in my last days as mission secretary.

 Ploy helping take down the Christmas decorations in the mission office also - she is so gracious and helpful - all the time!

Elders Rolfe, Mathson and Saunders at the mission office - Dasha in the background...we have the best volunteers in the world serve in Novosibirsk!
