Here in the Danube valley in a misty autumn, days sometimes lay heavy on our minds. Our daily walking tours were mist-shrouded. But our business doesn't tolerate sad thoughts long term. On time on November 1st, we flew to Moscow. Eva took part in the RDAC (Russian Diamond Advisory Council) for the benefit of all at the Ritz-Carlton across the Kremlin. I had the opportunity, however to take a stroll through Moscow's main shopping streets with two newlyweds (David & Maya MM). I now believe it: Moscow is the most expensive city in the world! More satisfying was the afternoon. The three of us met with our own group in the Tartarski House for a joyous group meetings. We are proud of our new Gold Distributor, Dr.Greitsch from Dscher Sinsk. Eva cancelled the sumptuous dinner at the Ritz and came to the joy of all over for our seminar. The room was bursting at the seams, more and more chairs had to be procured separately. There is a spirit of optimism in our young lines! In Moscow we have an exciting, performance-oriented Vietnamese Silver Distributor in our organization, she wants to build the business at home, and so we will take her with us to Hanoi next year - as an example of how this business is established: By helping others to succeed. On Friday evening we went to Kiev. We enjoyed the lovely night reception in the VIP area of the airport. In the morning we woke up with bright sunshine, and off we went to the Autumn Seminar of WWD Ukraine. Guest speakers were Sally & Juergen Brinner, Diamant ABOs from UK, and they did their job so well! The "resurrection" of the English Amway business is indeed amazing, but not wonderful, but a shining example of what the worldwide collaboration of TOP4 and WWD can cause. And there is no need to worry about the Ukraine: Inna & Oleg Polyshchuk and their organization are on the upswing! We look forward to new skills! We took the brilliant Ukranian weather home with us. Now the autumn leaves in the Danube valley are glowing in the sunshine. Our granddaughter Rebecca helped us to portion Nutrilite for the next trip. This time will lead us to the west, to Ireland and England. More about this soon.
