From: "Alex Bennett" View contact detailsTo: "vicki bennett" The last couple days have been amazing! We're all here and everything worked out great! It really shows you that the Lord helps out His missionaries get to where they need to be. :) Sorry I didn't get to call in Moscow, they did not have any pay phones in the airport. I feel terrible that I didn't get to talk to Shelly, Tim, or Jared. I really wanted to hear from them, but things were really rushed and we had a lot to do. Russia is beautiful! I've been taking a few pictures so i'll send you the SD card when I'm able to. We arrived in Novosibirsk at about 5:30 (their time) and we were met by the other elders and President Trejo. We are currently at the mission home with President and sister Trejo. They fed us breakfast and then we got to sleep till 3:00. The beds here are soooo comfortable! We just got done with eating dinner and now we are going to have some training and an orientation. I don't have that much time to write some stories and experiences that have happened in the last couple days, but I will write some when I get the chance. I love you all, thank you for all that you have done to help me get to this point. I'm really excited, it's crazy that I'm all the way across the world from you (don't think about it that much though) :) Thanks again, hope things are going great for everyone! -Love Elder Bennett
