Last night in Russia, at the Mission Home

 President and Sister Lamb host the returning home missionaries in the Mission Home on the last night in Russia.  Elder Mathson is an AP and his companion was on a visa trip - so he was with Elder Ellsworth for the time being.  Sister Johnson and Sister MacCabe we met in the MTC Sept. 2017 - Sister MacCabe is in the Pike's ward in Richmond, Virginia!  Lovely meal and lovely accommadations - lovely people!  We love them and will miss them.
 Our two beautiful traveling companions!  We got to Russia three weeks before they did - and were blessed to serve with Sister Johnson in Irkutsk and Sister MacCabe in Novosibirsk - both sister training leaders and really good ones!
 All five of us returning to the United States,  Sister MacCabe to Virginia, the rest to Utah. 
 Current Sister Training Leaders, Sister Van den Herik from the Netherlands and Sister Wilkinson from Utah - love these wonderful volunteers!  They were part of the last night devotional, filling in for the absent AP's!
 Sister MacCabe's worn out boots!!  Worn out in the service of our Savior!!
 She actually received them from another sister - and she bought new ones to wear home! 
 Our flight was delayed out of Novosibirsk - the plane was late coming form Moscow ... so we missed our connection in Moscow to get to New York on time - so our arrival in Salt Lake was NOT 7:30pm - but midnight!!  Life happens. 
Snowy mountains - Iceland or Greenland - not sure which but very beautiful.
