Novokutznetz Branch President, Elder Green in their "chapel". Beside the chapel, they have a small office to the left and a bathroom.














Novokutznetz is an old coal town with lots of manufacturing. This is how they get their power. Coal. Every inch of Novokutz is covered with black coal smoke and when you go in at night and clean you face, the cloth is black.











We travel to Novokutz at least once a month via a 9 hour bus ride. This is really the most depressing city we have seen.














This is Elder Ahuna who is full blooded Hawaiian. When he was just a child his father met an Indian who did the hoop dance and elder Ahunas father did the Hawaiian dances, so they taught each other their dances. Since then the Ahuna family has traveled all over the world doing these dances. So, Elder Ahuna was allowed to bring his hoops. He is doing the dance here in the Mission Home for the Senior Couples Conference.






This is Elder Ahuna.
