Welcome 2010

С Новым Годом! Happy New Year to all!

We're celebrating New Years as we did last year, in by dark the 31st and all day the 1st. Missionaries will be studying and house cleaning. What with our -20 f. degree weather, no one should mind. Most missionaries are planning good food, too!

The celebration begins for Russians by watching President Medvedev's brief speech, televised at five minutes before midnight in each of Russia's twelve time zones.  When he's done, the festivities begin!  (Take a look at the good values in his speech.)
