Some Pictures Regarding Karen's Letter

The Krasnoyarsk Chapel.  There are only two chapels in our entire mission.  We have one and the other is on Omsk about 800 miles away.

There are ice cream (Marozhania-I love that word) stands everywhere.  Here we are buying a little treat for Elder Howard and Jensen.

This is Larissa and her daughter Alyona

Karen and Larissa (they had instant bonding)

Tiessia and Karen.  Ninety four years old (Tiessia not Karen).  She has been a member of the church for 16 years,  has always had a current temple recommend and has never been to a temple.

Tiessia and Elder Howard and Rubow. (Both elders from North Carolina).  Tiessia  has poor eyesight so these elders read to her from the bible every week.  Her favorite book is Isaiah so that is where they always read.  (And of course it is in Russian. ) It is amazing how these elders and sister missionaries learn this language.  Truly it is a miracle.
