Bus ride Photos

Random pics. The Church of Spilt Blood, St. Isaac's Catherdal (Golden dome church), Subway and Tepemok (Two of our favorite restaurants). Tepemok (pronounced Taramok) makes meat and dessert dishes using handmade crepe's. Very yummy. We don't eat out too much, Joe loves to cook so we normally eat at home. I took a picture of Subway to show how it's spelled in Russian.

Outdoor Christmas Village

Very, very cold day. A lot of handmade items for sale. Outdoor ice skating rink and live Christmas trees for sale. There was a little outdoor carnival with kiddie rides. Quite fun.

Mission President Photos

Joe and I with Mission President Podvodov and his wife. Office Elders and Office Assistants with the mission president and wife. The elders we work with in the office work very hard and are a pleasure to serve with. We love them dearly. (Photo order) - Elders Wignall, Hepler (AP's) and Elders Lindsay & Clark (office elders). Elders Clark and Wignall have since been transferred to other areas.

Random Photos of December

The snowman was made by someone living in our apartment building (cute little Irish green hat!) The picture with the red neon sign in the background is the Neva river frozen over. Joe walking next door to the office and Joe standing in front of the office door.

Merry Christmas Family and Friends
