Dear Elena Petrova, Sveta and I wish to thank you for your wonderful website. Sveta sent me the first email in September 2012. Her email was spoken from the heart so I replied and from there we stayed in contact daily; first by email, then by Skype. Sveta invited me to Russia. I had been to Russia once before and liked it. The people are wonderful and the ladies are the BEST! I flew to Sveta's city in December 2012 for a 6 month stay. We built our relationship and learned how to communicate very well. I proposed to Sveta in May and now we are engaged to be married. We are now working on her K-1 visa so she can come to the U.S. Gentlemen, Russian women are very smart, educated, with good character and they know how to take care of their family. Russian women are also fashion conscious and they take good care of themselves. You will be hard pressed to find better women ANYWHERE in the world. Many good Russian women are looking for a good man to form a family. I wanted a good woman who shared my core values and found her on Elena's Models. Elena's Models website does an excellent job of keeping their website free of scammers. That takes the worry out of using this website. Russian students are taught English from an early age, so there are many women in Russia who speak English at some level. Sveta was not fluent, but she worked hard at learning English during my stay here and she has done well. I have also worked hard to learn some Russian... together we speak a sort of "Runglish." It works. Russian women are modern ladies, but they also have good personal and family values. For them, family comes first. It is best to fly to the woman's city and meet her in person, and meet her family too. Be honest, be yourself, and you will be surprised at how well Russian women will take care of you. Sveta and I wish to thank Elena's Models for their excellent website and their hard work to keep the website filled with honest ladies who truly seek a good man for marriage and family. Bob Windham & Svetlana Nenasheva Good day Elena, I registered on your website "Elena's Models" in September 2012. On the 17th of September, while I was looking through your database I saw Robert. After several minutes of looking at his pictures I finally got down to reading his profile information. At that moment I realized that he was the reason I had come to this website. Unfortunately, I also realized that a man like Bob could not be left without attention of other women. I started thinking about how I could make him notice me among hundreds of beautiful ladies. I wrote him a short message saying that he was the only man whom I sent a really personal letter. I asked him to look in my eyes hoping that he would see the same thing I saw in his. At that time I did not get a reply. Sometime later I noticed that he had not deleted my letter, but this didn't really make me happy. I continued visiting the website, but after a while my interest started fading away. On the 9th of November, almost two months after my message, I finally received a notification about a highly anticipated letter. It is impossible to describe what I felt at that moment. Bob was my dream. I didn't know him, but I believed his eyes. I wrote back and so our correspondence. We were exchanging letters every day. We were not just exchanging a few words about the weather, we were talking about our lives, the past and the future. It was wonderful. We were very far from each other, but I could feel his presence, as if he were near me. My vacation was getting close and so I invited Robert to visit me. He accepted my invitation. Bob had arrived in Russia on the 24th of December, 2012 and was staying with me until the 22nd of June, 2013. A new VISA agreement between the US and Russia allowed us to be together for six months. My vacation ended four weeks after Bob's arrival and so I went back to work. We started living as a regular family. We were learning how to live together how to understand each other. This process was difficult for both of us, mostly because our countries have very different cultures. However, these six months were the happiest period of my life. The man I had been dreaming about was finally with me. I love Bob with my heart and my soul. He is a wonderful man, a wonderful husband and a wonderful father. These six months helped us build a relationship based on strong feelings. Now we know for sure that we want to live a long and happy life together. On the 27th of May, 2013 Robert asked me to marry him. I accepted the proposal. I know that we have a lot of challenges ahead of us, but I am sure that we will succeed because there are two of us now. I want to say "Thank you" for your work, Elena. You give people happiness and turn things that seem impossible into reality. Thanks to you I managed to find that "special" man, the one I love without any limits. Svetlana Nenasheva
