August 17-20, 2012 Plotava






The second weekend we taught in Plotava, Ukraine.  There is a branch in Plotava and some of the missionaries traveled the 1 1/2 hours by bus from a neighboring branch for the training.  A funny experience was that when we said we from Bountiful one of the elders said he had met a young man at BYU who became a good friend and he was Bountiful.  His friend is the young man from our ward who moved our lawn and is now serving a mission also.  We traveled the 3 hours on a very modern train and could see the speed on a monitor which was up to 160 km. an hour.  It would stop at a town for 2 minutes.  The church were some of the sights in Plotava and the Holy Cross Exaltation Monastry was across the ridge.  I am sitting in their famous "Dumpling Monument".  The city is well know for the dumplings.  The White Arbor (white comumns) is a war memorial from one of their wars.
