Bowling, Ice Rink, and shopping mall. I'm surprised; I have such a different image in my mind -- amazing how democracy and capitalism can change a country. However, from the fish and meat pictures I would need a vomit bag or a blind fold. Any Wendy’s or McDonalds? So who won the bowling? Good that you could spend time with Sergei. It has to be hard to see your younger brother leave (we may be facing something similar when our time arrives).

I didn't realize there was a mall like that. That's fun. How did you guys do at bowling?

Thanks for giving that stuff to the branch presidency for Cort. Also is there a way to get a picture with the kids that stayed with the Conways? I gave them the address to this blog and I am sure they would love it. Thanks.

I've just caught up reading for a few days. It is fun to see and hear about your great adventure. I'm glad you were able to visit with Ruslan's brother. Ruslan looks so happy in all the pictures. What a reward for him for all the waiting and ups and downs.

Hi Ann & Jeff,

I thought it was about time I left a post acknowledging that I've been reading the blog. I've been out of town for 12 days so I have some excuse for not posting before. I'm not sure what Clark, John, or Bruce's excuses could be - lame I'm sure. John might be angry because I know he was planning to use the name Ruslan for their next boy but he'll get over it.

Sounds like you are having a blast. Makes you want to serve a mission to a third world country, right Ann? Anyway, we're glad things are going well. We'll all welcome Ruslan with open arms provided he minds his p's and q's. The blog is a great idea. Hopefully you can keep it up when you get home with pics of you covering your nose when you do Jeff's laundry and the like.

Of course, I dominated at bowling. Jeff didn't have a chance. He said he beat me the first game but that was only because Natasha, who has never bowled before took my last 4 frames. The second game was all mine. It was fun!

Hey I love reading your blog!!! It sounds like everything is going great. Ruslan reminds me a little of Tanner.

I have enjoyed your posts even though you have not enjoyed mine. Sorry they didn't get to you. Janelle walked me through it today but I think that is what I was doing before. Anyway, glad you are having a great adventure. When are you coming home. Did you get my e-mail. That's another thing...how come? Anyway I am praying for you, it will be fun to have you home.
