Our week was again a very quiet one. District Meeting, lunch with the missionaries, teaching our two nights of English conversations, taking our neighbors to Fridays and then to a baptism on Saturday night. Oh, and on Wednesday we had zone conference where we gave our power point presentations and at the end receiving word that mother had passed away. We were saddened about that news but so thankful that she did not have to suffer long - she had already lost so much of her ability to remeber and function physically that it was good that she went rapidily in the end. As Jan and I were talking I think the hard thing to realize is that we are now our mother's age and we are getting closer to the end than the beginning. The facing of mortality on this Earth becomes more real. I appreciated the poem Sarah posted on the Lackey Legand. This is but a short time here and we have the eternities to learn more and to interact with others. Life is good.
We are traveling to Odessa on an over night train - will see how well we can sleep on it. John has really not wanted to experience this but the Pres. is going down and we are going with them. Will fly back Saturday evening. Going to check out some clinics.
Hope all is going well at home. We do love you all. Take care. Luv Mom and Dad

Sounds like a busy week. At least, partially. We hope you are doing well. Let us know how the trip went.
Have a safe trip. Are you getting any of my emails? I never hear from you...geez, that's a reversal in our roles.
I'm still worried about Russia's posturing to "take back" it's lands. Have you heard anything troubling about the Ukraine?
Miss you and love you
