Bridal Shower

On Saturday there was a bridal shower for a member in an area I served in, Kaliningrad. Also there were two other girls from Kaliningrad who are visiting here, and two of my favorite girls from the mission. From left to right is Kerstin Kohn Milazzo, I served with her for my first transfer there, and is one of the coolest Germans I've met. She also married someone from the mission and they live in Provo. They are one of Stephen and my favorite people. Next after me is the bride herself. Then is Erika Rowe who I never served with but still became great friends with, then there is Katya, and Alyona.

At first it was hard to speak Russian with a native because they speak fast, but after awhile there were no problems.

It was so exciting to see these three girls who are still active in the church. One just went through the temple and will be sealed in the temple, and one is going to serve a mission.
