The dinner with some of the missionaries at the Rostov mission home was after their zone training meeting. The other pictures are in Volgograd at the Mother of Russia monument. The changing of the guard takes place each hour. They march with "goose steps" with the legs raised high each step. The eternal flame is where the guards stand at attention. The statue with the sword raised is bigger than the Statue of Liberty. The city name during World War II was Stalingrad and the Russians fought the Germans near the city. The city was destroyed and the name was changed to Volgograd when it was rebuilt. We flew to Rostov on Thurs., Mar. 28th and had meetings and audits in the mission office on Thurs. and Thurs. evening. Friday we traveled to Volgograd and had meetings and training with the branch presidents and clerks Sat. and Sun. after district conference.
