We leave today for Minsk, Belarus for our last visit of our mission tour with the Pauls. Belarus is a communist country and our missionaries aren't allowed to wear their tags, participate in any way in meetings, or proselyte. No foreigners are. It is their District Conference this weekend and one time Dad was able to get permission from the government to talk at the Sat. night meeting and on Sunday. Well, we asked for permission for both Elder Paul and Dad to teach and preach at the meetings this weekend, but the government denied them permission. I noticed that the US ambassador was asked to leave Belarus last week. They must be mad at the US about something. Another disappointment was we had asked permission for Brother Browning the patriarch to go to Minsk to give the good saints blessings and they denied that request too. I feel bad for those people who have been wanting their blessings for years and who still don't get to receive them. Dad has been really busy the last few days interviewing for blessings here in Moscow. Brother Browning will stay here in our apartment starting tonight until he leaves on Wednesday morning. We will be back on Sunday night. I hope you all have a great weekend. I always miss you, but I will be missing you even more since I will be away from my phone and computer. ILYT oxoxoxoxoxox Oh-- Sisters Khachatryan & Novgorodovo are in the picture with us--they are great missionaries that serve in Tula right now.
