ABSTRACT
Last year, our reindeer died, and we have about twenty head left. The winter was harsh, and many were left without reindeer. This is sad, of course, but life doesn't end there. Mom now lives permanently in her apartment. Olia got an apartment, and Tania is renting. I also live separately, and Natasha lives separately, too. Sergei [the missionary] always comes. They built us a prayer house; now we don't gather in the apartments anymore.
