After Church, Cxiv Branch

These performers are at Yachenko Heights. It's a little ancient wooden village up on a hill in the forest in Lviv. We took Candice to it and these were some of those performers. They have beautiful costumes which they wear on holidays and special occasions.
Elder Ward and Elder Fulton, what will we do without all of our missionaries. Elder Fulton is the one that came and stood by me while Elder Kauffman took a man aside that had started walking with Wenja and I after a soccer game over a year ago and he's still by our side. What mighty warriors!!!
Tamara who is a member but inactive is a good friend. I went Visiting Teaching to her and Elder Williams gave her a blessing about two weeks before because she had been hit by a car and had hurt her leg. She took Candice and I to the Opera center where she works. They were doing major cleaning but she got us into all the important places. We even heard the cast practicing for the next opening of the Opera Center. They weren't in costume but they sounded wonderful. We met the main soloist as we left, what an opportunity.
This is some more of our wonderful missionaries. The lady on my left was 72 when she joined the church. She was the neighbor of Andrea who is a wonderful member of about 7 months. On E. Williams left is Svitslana who was Andrea's ex-wife, and she just joined the church, we hear. Her countenance has changed so much. Sister Morton on my right just got back from the States. Her mother passed away but was able to come back to Lviv.
These are twins that were in our English class. They have been coming for several years to English but have just started the missionary lessons and we've heard they are waiting to be baptized.
