Mission Experiences

Second Mission
We will be serving in the Seoul South Korea mission for two years. We will be posting our experiences below.

First Mission
Hello to all our family and friends visiting this Blog. We are excited about our mission to Kharkov Ukraine. We are in the Donetsk Mission as Humanitarian/Welfare missionaries. Half of our time will be spent helping members with employment. We are also taking Russian lessons from a little Ukrainian girl twice a week. Our brains seem to be a bit scrambled but we are enjoying the process. Keep tuned in and we will keep you updated on what's happening. We are loving it here in Ukraine and we love the people. What a great experience.

This is a project with a care center that takes care of handicapped children starting from about age four to about 30. They treated us very well and had the kids come and do a dance for us and it was really nice and they did a very good job. One of the kids called out before the program started and said to Elder Burr, "hey, I know you". I hear that a lot over here, I think it is because I have a generic face. Their dance was fun to watch. They were very animated.

They are asking for beds as some of the kids because of their illness have to take several rests each day. The beds are special and cost a little more as they are beds that are pleasant to look at and make the children happier to be there in bed. They also asked for school desks to study on. They teach them to do arts and crafts of which some of them do a very good job in their arts and crafts. They also teach them, as much as possible, to be self-reliant.
