Ward Performance

On April 8th the Russian speaking ward had a performance for the temple missionaries. It was also kind of for Easter. It was so cool because most of the ward members were wearing traditional Ukrainian outfits, just like how a lot of people in the US will wear something special on Easter. I thought that was really neat! So these members played mostly Ukrainian folk music, with a few church songs too and there was singing, dancing, and lots of instrumental pieces. It last almost two hours. I really enjoyed it! There a lot of talented people in their ward! There was also someone who would translate everything, so that both the English and Russian speakers could understand everything that was being said.
