This is the site where the "Forgotten War" between Finland and Russia look place. Some people from Finland are doing some restoration work here. The scouts did some clean-up work. These headstones were brought back from people in the village (who had used them as stones in their homes) after they heard of the restoration the people from Finland were doing here.

Hi! We're Tom and Pat Arave and we are preparing to serve in the Armenia, Yaravan mission. Where is Armenia anyway?? We're from little Wapello, ID and still can't believe we're really going to Armenia.....what happened to Mexico?!?!? We're still excited to serve no matter what!! We will be serving as Armenia country directors of LDS Charities. Okay so Armenia is old news and what a whirl wind mission we have had. Our mission got changed to Saint Petersburg, Russia. We had to wait two months for our visas but we are finally here and trying to settle in to a whole new world.
