Family in Chernivtsi

Today a couple of the missionaries and us were invited out to Visil and his wife, Volya's home. Visil gave a wonderful talk in church a couple of weeks ago. This little farm keeps him very busy but we're hoping he will decide to come to church more often. Look at this big turkey with his feathers all out.
This is them with us. They are so sweet to invites to their place. It is located in a Celo (village) that's not too far away from the church but is in a hilly part of Chernivtsi.
This is Elder Chamberlain looking it all over and Volya who also grows beautiful flowers of many kinds, she picked a wonderful bouquet and gave me. I took it to the church so we could all enjoy them tomorrow. They have really listened to the Prophets about being prepared. They have all they need here except a cow. They even have fruit trees of different kinds and there are several plots twice this size that they take care of. Besides he's building a house for his daughter which will be very nice.
They just kept feeding us fresh berries. It was so nice to just sit under the trees and enjoy the sun and good company.
Of course after we were fed the cherries (two different kinds) and strawberries, we were brought in to a wonderful meal that his wife had prepared. The red drink at the end of the table is some that he made himself from his fruit. What a blessing to be in there home of these good people and rub shoulders with them. Of course we couldn't understand a word they were saying unless the Elder's translated but we could feel their love and hopefully they felt ours.
