Aren't Relief Society women great? Wherever they are they just have that glow about them Once Brian and I were in East Germany in a very dark and gloomy town. We had been told the address of church, but when we drove there it was a huge, dark apartment building. We were early so we sat in the car and waited to see if anyone would come. Soon two sisters came walking down the street and from a block away I could tell they were Relief Society sisters--they brought light to that dark place. Shortly afterward others came too--we met an an apartment which they had fixed up as a meeting house. They had one of those old pump organs to accompany the singing and you have never heard such singing! Their love and enthusiasm puts us in Utah to shame where we have so many conveniences and yet we can hardly be heard singing the hymns. How wonderful to go to meetings with pioneer Saints with such testimonies!
We are Elder and Sister McEvoy, missionaries for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints serving in the Russia Yekaterinburg Mission. We're posting for our children, grandchildren and friends to share our testimonies of Jesus Christ and his Restored Gospel, and to share our mission experiences. We love being in Russia and we love the wonderful Russian people.
