When Communism ruled in Russia,the dictators tried to shut downbelief in God and even destroyed many churches. However but, behind closed doors and in homesChristianity remains strong.Like this church you see in the background many churches were restored , preserving the great beautyof these historic buildings.
We found this statute in KievVery interesting. It represents Andrew, an apostle at the time of Christ And by their tradition He visited In Ukraine And brought Christianity.
The city of Keiv Was, at one time in history, surrounded By a massive Wall To protect
The people. There were large ruling and powerful families that sought power and control.This structure is a large arched gate, the only remaining part of the wall still standing.
This is president Galbreath and his wife, president Of the Keiv Temple,He and I were in the elders quorum many years ago at BYU. The world is much smallerAs we servedIn these far-off countries where we have met many and enjoyed association of people we have knownin the past. One of the great Wonders of the GospelIs to be clear over in this part of the world and find faithful members serving with great diligence.The Galbreath left 10 children and a few more grandchildren than we have, first to serve as mission presidents and then Now as Temple President.
