Our nephew just got home from his mission.

Our nephew just got home from his mission. Yep he went to
Ukraine. So tonight we went down to Spanish Fork (David's parents house) to see
him. It's a little ironic that we drove so far to see him when he lives in
walking distance of our home.

The kids had a great time talking to him. Before we could all get into the
house the three of them were talking Ukrainian/Russian. It was really cute.
David and I plied him with questions about anything from food, to housing, to
baboushkas, to language, to statues. As the subject would change away from
Ukrainian things, our nephew and our two kids would go into the kitchen and
talk Ukrainian. They would come back into the living room and talk for a little
while and then go back into the kitchen and talk Ukrainian.

After a while we asked our nephew if all of our questions were bothering him.
His answer - "no you have asked the most meaningful questions anyone has asked
me so far. Everyone else just asks how was the mission?"
