This picture shows Lary being introduced by our supervisor from the Leavitt Institute where he taught classes on American Law. The supervisor has graduated from Law school and is about 22 years old. Her home is in Ukraine and she speaks Russian, Ukrainian and pretty good English. She is not a member of the church, but made sure that we got to church and stayed with us the whole 3 hour block She reminds us a lot of Kirsten. It made us a bit homesick!!

This is a picture of Lary in a chapel in St. Petersburg. He went with the Physical Facilities committee from Salt Lake City to evaluate the quality and up-keep of the buildings there. The buildings there are much nicer and newer than the ones in Moscow because it is easier to purchase and build there.



This is a picture two of the children in our branch posing with our Branch President. The little girl is about a year older than Lanette and reminds us so much of her. Our Branch President is such a good man and is doing his best to to improve the branch and follow the programs.





This is inside of the Metro that travels under the city of Moscow, Russia. The underground stations are really unique and very beautiful. The construction of the Metro System was begun in approximately 1935. It is amazing that today it carries 9 Million people a day to various destinations throughout the city. We just pay one ticket and can ride on as many lines as we want to until we reach the part of the city we need to go.
