First week

Well Hi everyone!  Our first week is coming to a close we have had an adventure.  We walked out of the airport in Moscow not picking up our luggage because we thought it was Checked all the way through to Yekaterinburg. WRONG!!!!!  When ever you go into a new country it is only checked to the first place in which you land in that country.  So when we went to get our tickets for the flight to Yekat. they asked to see our luggage, we didn't know where is was. Our translator was also clue less and we panicked for a minute or two but found it at the lost and found and unclaimed part of the airport.  It was a shorter flight than we thought to Yekaterinburg which was nice and when we arrive the mission President and his wife and the assistances were waiting for us they were a great sight to see. We had a wonderful Senior couple conference at the mission home then Thursday and Friday and we left for Chelyabinsk on Saturday arriving around noon.  The missionaries found us a great apt. and took us shopping.  I can't believe how much stuff you need to get to set up a kitchen. Well we have to go Monday and get the rest of the food.  We had a great Sunday meeting with the Branch here in Chely.  They were super nice on sister came and said she really liked my nails and knows where I can get them done!!!! See there are fashion conscious women around the world!!  I found their concerns for their children and families are just the same.  We are united as mothers and wives. Sisters are Sisters!! We will soon add pictures to the blog.  Love ya all
