Brownings, Cobblestone Road

A few days after we had our Open House, our Europe East Area Patriarch came for a week in Lviv. They stayed in a Hotel just around the corner from our apartment so it was very handy to help them. This young lady is married and has children and is from one of the cities that came for a blessing. I wanted to take her picture because of her coat. If you double click on her you can see it better. Most coats here are very European, fur with a hood, they are very stylish.
This is a cobblestone road being laid right in front of our church. If you double click on it you can see the difference where they have finished putting the sand over it and where they haven't.
This is certainly better than it was. It seem like with as much rain as they have they always sink in spots.
They must get a crew to work on them, I'll show you a little more in the video which you have already seen.
Brother Browning is our Patriarch. What a blessing it was to have them here. We had 7 different branches come into Lviv to receive blessings for the week that they were here in Western Ukraine. The people would sometimes come on an over night train and get in Lviv in the morning and then wait for their time to receive a blessing. All of them besides our two branches here came on bus or train. The shortest bus ride was 3 1/2 hours. The longest was about 12 hours on a train. What dedicated people. Brother and Sister Browning came from Provo, Utah and will be here in Ukraine for 3 weeks. We would go from 8:30 to 4:00. Sometimes he would get a half hour break. We were very tired, I can imagine how tired he would be. We had a member, Ira help us with translation and to read their recommends and make sure all the names and dates where right. I don't know what we would have done without her. What a wonderful experience we had.
