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.

A mom walking her child to school for the first time this year. The two white bows are traditional for little girls to wear to school on the first day.
Dancers waiting to perform at the opening of school. Notice the large purse the lady on the left has and her high heels. That is common in Ukraine.
More performers.
One of the classes waiting to go to class the first time. They have a celabration at the beginning of school before they walk into class. All the children bring flowers to their teacher.
The yard where the dances will take place. All the students stand outside to watch the performance. They all are holding baloons that they let fly into the sky at one point during the ceremony.
