Happy Russian Missionary
Dear Family, December 3, 2008
Thanksgiving was great! We had a turkey bowl in the morning with about 10 missionaries. We played soccer first but that easily gave way to the real sport of the holiday...football. I'm proud to say that the team I was on dominated. :) We afterwards had thanksgiving dinner at the branch building in Rostov. Really good! Rolls, potatoes, salads, soup, dessert-cakes, cookies, pies ( pumpkin, which the sisters made. It was realllly good).
I got my Christmas package. I probably wasn't supposed to know but I just happened to be in Presidents office, and lo and behold, my name written in a big black marker. Thank you very much. I'll get to open it at conference within the next few weeks. Yes, it's getting cold. We've only had it snow once (lightly) but other than that, It's pretty much just getting colder and colder.
Love you all. I thought I already was an angel :)
Love,
Elder McShinsky
(In my letter to Mike, I told him to be an angel this season...so you see his remark back.)

Heely Tennis Shoes on Bob's feet
Wow..last year I tried to find a pair of heelies for Bob for Christmas. They were too expensive, so he didn't get it. This year when shopping at DI Bob found a pair for $6.00. We should have hid them for this Christmas. He is having a great time on his wheels. His Christmas will be boring this year compared to his Christmas season. He is having a ball.
Big Tree
This year we went out late to get a tree. We didn't think we would get a very good tree. We went to the store, "Smiths" and there were 2 choices...a little one or for $10 bucks more..the bigger size. Well, there was one that was huge...so we picked that one. It fills about 1/2 our little family room. It is very pretty.

Madi Tagged me..I'm it
This is James at Nationals at BYU in March 2008. He won this event. I'm an easy call to have ballroom pics.
Two days with playing with Grandma Raynes
I have taken off two days to spend playing with grandma. I told her ahead of time that it sure would be fun to go to the movies with her. So we did yesterday. We went to Twilight at 12:45 and we had a great time. She didn't think about cancer for 2 hours. Here are pics of her getting her nails done and toe nails. She has a great house maid that came and did it.
