I wrote "Chpistmas" once and couldn't figure out what was wrong for the longest time. Oh, to be back in Russia for Christmas. <br />I like that since New Year's is the big holiday it gets all the material focus, leaving Christmas the week after as a wholly religious day truly focused on the Savior. Thanks for the chance to reflect on wonderful times gone by.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11354706250712244900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1179338386589206976.post-80314326235290749982009-12-06T17:41:27.394-05:002009-12-06T17:41:27.394-05:00Hehe, you said paradise was "Pai" and if...Hehe, you said paradise was "Pai" and if a Ukrainian were reading it they'd pronounce it correctly. For the english speakers it's pronounced like "Rye". I still occasionally mix up Latin and Cyrillic letters when reading things all the time. I'll never get over the schizophrenic store "Toys Я Us". I remember a companion once writing the word "Gratefulность" and he knew something was wrong with it but couldn't figure out where the mistake was. <br /><br />That was a sweet Christmas story. I remember having one baptism near Christmas that was also in a sauna. Who knew that a sauna could conjure up feelings of gratitude and an outpouring of the spirit?geoffsnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00983282809935132580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1179338386589206976.post-26023065036089540782009-12-06T02:49:39.330-05:002009-12-06T02:49:39.330-05:00Well, you certainly *were* a super missionary, and...Well, you certainly *were* a super missionary, and I do believe you still are now!austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16710012254870960445noreply@blogger.com
