Visa Trip to Ukraine

As I mentioned in an earlier post due to Russia’s stringent visa regulations the foreign missionaries must leave Russia every 3 months to update their visas.  The video is from a stop they made while traveling back to Rostov from Ukraine.  Now if I’m not mistaken Ukraine no longer allows Americans to come to renew their visas so they have had to find alternatives.  Some missionaries travel as far as Spain (and stay at the MTC there).  Elder Addis’ most recent visa trip was to Prague in the Czech Republic.

Train Rides in Volgograd

When the DVD of pictures arrived home there were some interesting videos of Elder Addis on the train.  They give some interesting perspective as to what the landscape is like in Russia.  Take a look…

65th Anniversary of the Battle of Stalingrad

When we receive photos from Elder Addis a while back it also included several videos.  Sorry I’ve been a slacker in posting them.  These videos are from the day that Elder Addis and his companions went to see the Mother Russia statue in Volgograd.  I watch these videos when I’m really missing him – it’s so nice to hear his voice!  Oh and isn’t it weird to hear Michael speaking Russian!  Enjoy!
