Sunday in Poltava

Today we went to pick up the kids to take them to church with us. Angelina had a trip with her class, so she couldn't join us. Ruslan and Tonia were able to come with us although we had to wait for them for about an hour. It is a tiny branch, but the people are very friendly. There is a senior couple there from Provo. They were in our ward when we were first married. They remembered Ray's mom and dad, and also us. Small world! And guess what Melia, the picture of us with the Elder(I can't pronounce his name)anyway, he is from Ukraine. I asked him where, and he said a small town close to Poland. I asked if he knew your companion Sister Kuralchuk(sp?), and of course he did. She is from his branch! We attended all the meetings and then went to Brother and Sister Patte's for dinner. They also invited a young college student to come and interpret for Tonia. We were adventurous and took a bus home.
