Not all the gardens we saw were out along the countryside. This garden spot was inside the city but down a hill and in an area where the busy city streets were out of sight. I believe the people here take great pride in their gardens because they are very neat and orderly looking.

One thing I enjoy doing here is a train ride to Sumy a smaller town about a 31/2 hour train ride away. This Spring we visited our institute class there and along the way we saw the many small country gardens. The countryside is beautiful and Ukraine has indeed been blessed with furtile soil.

Elder and Sister Burr farewell party put on by the Kharkov District. A very much loved couple that gave great service here in Ukraine. They completed their mission on April 17th. Some of the CES youth performed a traditional Ukrainian dance in their Ukrainian costumes. The smiles on the faces of Elder and Sister Burr radiate their love of the people here and the love of their Savior. They were a great example to us and we loved serving here with them.
