Institute

Institute has been changed from Tuesday to Wednesday so more students could attend.  We had three attend this week - two great things happened.  One - we established a Facebook group for the Institute.  The name of the group is 

"Институт Религии Саратова" ( Institute of Religion Saratov).  We hope that will help us get to know more students as they discover the group.  We also got to eat up the leftover turkey - that's Uri, our institute council president manly eating the turkey wing with his bare hands.  The guy with the fork is Sasha who wears many hats - mission translator, distrcit executive secretary and brnach mission leader.  Sasha does all the translations for our mission president and does an excellent job.

Today was zone meeting - ran by our two zone leaders Elders Christensen and Owen.  Two fantastic elders and a great meeting.  In fact, every elder and sister in our zone is incredible - obedient, dedicated and a joy to serve with.

Off to Samara tomorrow for teacher training.  Our last trip this year for CES - we think.  We get to ride the night train home...we're kind of worried about that!
