Couple Conference

We so enjoyed the Couples Conference in Kiev, Oct. 14th thru the 18th. We visited the new temple area there which was wonderful. Sister Luschin, the architect's wife explained a lot about it. He was gone from the area so we appreciated her taking his place. This is the new chapel which is finished and is very nice.
The end of the chapel
The temple in Kiev and the only one in Ukraine, which is being built just across from the chapel is coming along. This is as high as it will go but they will put the spire on it also and the angel Moroni. They are working diligently on it but hope it will be done by the early fall of 2010.
This is the Hotel next to the chapel and by the temple. It is coming along well but did not hear when they anticipate it being finished. People have to travel a long distance to attend the temple so it is nice to have some place to stay while they are here. Quite often they will want to spend 3 days doing temple work and then however time it takes to travel. Now they go to Frieburg, Germany and it takes a big week because it's so far.
