Rock of Faith.....

Another mailing goes out to Russia this week to one of our family's best friends.  Our History with the Marchenko's goes back almost 25 years.  I admire the faith and strength of Dima and his family.  From the first day I met Dima, when I interviewed him for baptism 25 years ago, I felt a special connection to him.  When my wife and I had our first child, who spent the first 9 months of his life in Russia, we gave him a middle name of Dmitry to commemorate our deep and lasting friendship with Dima.  I decided to do a painting of the Kiev Ukraine Temple as a symbol of the solid faith I've always admired in Dima and his beautiful family.
