We visited a foster family in the Grodno Region to see if we could possible open a project there. We had the neatest experience with their family. Larisa and Alexandr raised three children of their own and are now raising 10 foster children ranging in ages 4 - 17. The mother asked us questions about our church--giving Max the opportunity to preach the gospel. Their hearts were really opened and had tears in their eyes when we talked about the church. They are definitely "golden contacts" and we hope to visit them again soon. We gave them a Family Enrichment Manuel for FHE and the Book of Mormon.
Their steps were made from the bark of a tree.
She collected dolls--this was my favorite.
Katya (9years) and Nasta (8 years)
Alyeksandr and Larisa Syemishchyevy
The girls performed for us the Belarusian version of the Hoky Poky which they call Boogie Voogie OK.
Sorry for some reason it wouldn't download. But believe me it was cute. You'll have to wait to see it when we get home.

Cute family! I can't believe they haven't lost someone on those stairs--those things look dangerous.
Seriously!! I wouldn't walk on them!
what a neat family. How do you spell all those names?
