Our Russian Home -- At Last!!

We are here!!! After a LONG flight from Salt Lake to New York (14 or 15 hours plus a 90 minute lay over), we departed the airplane, found our way through to the visa check, found our luggage and then found Rick. Richard Page is the paid legal counsel for the church. This is the airport and the parking lot with Rick's car. Our luggage ALMOST didn't fit. He had a camry. I sat with some of the luggage in the back seat.

This is where we shop. It is called Seven Continents. It is between our apartment and the office. It is very nice. We went there the first day and bought milk and jam. The Nearon's that rented the apartment before us bought us groceries before they left. Yea, and a great big thanks to them! Now we can gradually by things that we need.

This is our apartment. We live on the 18th floor. In case you are curious, this picture was taken around two in the afternoon. It has been very cloudy since we came. We walk past two little play grounds for the children. The parents are always pushing their babies in the baby buggies outside in the below freezing weather.


This is our front door to our buiding. It is the first of four doors we need to go through. The guard is inside the second door, then we have an elevator that is only large enough for MAYBE four people if we hold our breath. We brought our luggage up on the freight elevator that is just a bit bigger.
