Missionaries
Here are our Missionaries in our District. They are wonderful young men and are serving diligently. The one on the right front will leave the 15th of May. The back left and the right middle will leave the middle of June. We will be so sorry to have them go.
This is at the Orphanage which was pretty wild. This bunch of fine men are in the Rivne Branch. We had just finished having District meeting with them and were leaving to inspect their apartments. The 3 & 4 from the left are Zone leaders and are visiting. They were able to get us on a Marshootka (bus) to return to Lutsk.
It was quite the experience with these kids. They were so wanting our attention that they would do anything to get it. We were so glad to have our Zone leaders with us, they always take such good care of us, I don't know what we would do with out them. We will hate to have them go home. Marsha and Lena are in the back,(the tallest ones). Lena is a Branch Missionary and Marsha is-sorta like a Stake Missionary, they are both very enthusiastic and willing to help.
This is Elder Williams following the Missionaries in Lutsk to one of their apartments. There are a lot of the apartment buildings like this. Lutsk is a city of about 200,000 people and I think Rivne is smaller, They are not as big as Lviv that has over 1 million. Lviv has a lot of old buildings because during the war it was part of Poland and so the troops just walked through but Lutsk and Rivne were completely distroyed so they had to rebuild again so their buildings are newer.

That is so sad about the children in the orphanages. You both are such a great example to me and are doing such good there in Russia. I am so lucky to have family like you. -Seth
hi==looks like you are beginning to "thaw". What fun Elders you have to serve with. Your city looks quite clean and beautiful-quite different from India. Keep up the good work you two. The people must love you.
