Karina's wedding

Last Sat. one of the Elders called us in the morning to see if we were going to Karina's wedding, I don't know her husbands name, she has been investigating the church all summer and wanted to be baptized but they found out she wasn't married so she couldn't be baptized but they were going to get married anyway so here is the wedding party, just missionaries, no family. We knew she only wanted a small wedding so that's why we didn't plan on going but at 8:30 a.m. we were out the door. They have to be married in the government building, then they can be married in a church. She's the one holding the marriage license her husband to the left of her in the back.
It's different in Ukraine, they put their wedding bands on the right hand, they say that all the important things are done with the right hand.
The happy couple----, after the wedding we just walked out with them and they went on there way and Elder Williams and I went to eat some breakfast and the others had things they had to do. The Elders and us gave them flowers and the sisters gave them something we didn't see what it was. We haven't heard when she will be baptized yet but she was at church the next day. She's a sweetheart, and he says he doesn't mind if she come to church and is Baptized.
Our new district. Boy this is a lot of missionaries. but of course they're all wonderful. Left - right
Elder Adams from Washington, Elder File from California these two Elders have only been here for about two weeks in Ukraine, Elder Williams, Elder Burnham from Alaska, Elder Imagazi from Kazakhstan, Elder Rhodes California, Elder Perry from Utah, Sister Beletskya from Crimean, me and Sister Yashenkova from Russia. I hope I got some of those right. This is who will be at our Thanksgiving dinner.
Thought you might want to see the entrance of the wedding party. It was very nice but nothing like ours in the House of the Lord.
