The Summer Gardens St. Petersburg, Russia

We had a chance to visit the Summer Gardens, which is where the dedicatory Prayer for preaching the gospel in Russia took place.  Our guide shared with us that at the turn of the century, Elder Lyman first dedicated it and then in 1991 Elder Russell Nelson rededicated it at this exact spot.  These are the 14 mission presidents and Area Presidency in the Europe East Area.  


Martino's, Porter's and Kacher's in Summer Gardens.
Just a comparison in the height difference in Jim and Elder Porter.


There was such a special and peaceful feeling there.  (I just wish the statues in that sacred place had more clothing on.
