YEREVAN, ARMENIA    We attended a humanitarian conference for the Europe East Area. We learned much from the area leaders and welfare specialists, but the best part was learning from the other humanitarian missionaries in attendance.   We serve in Kazakhstan, and the other couples in attendance serve in Armenia, Belarus, Bulgaria, Georgia, Ukraine and Russia.  Friday was reserved for sightseeing. 

This is Yerevan and Mount Ararat.  The mountain is in Turkey, but Yerevan is near the border.      






The lady below is selling breads and rolls of fruit leather.  The bread looks flat and hard but is actually soft and filled with butter and sugar.  Yummy!

Ancient Garni Temple.  Can you find Burke in this picture?  Hint:  Person on right.

Geghard Monastery, five rooms are built in the rock cliff.  This is still a working monastery.  There are over 70 beehives in the upper left part of the picture.  

Saturday evening, we are sitting in the airport in Moscow waiting for our flight to Astana.  This is an Aeroflot flight attendant.
     We know we have been traveling too much.  Sheremetevo airport is getting very familiar.
