Elder and Sister Burr

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 the park that is just across the street from out apartment. We go through it sometimes when we are going to the downtown area.

 A small street not too far from our home.
 Sister Burr visiting with some missionaries.

 We finally found "ho doc".  I don't know how spell it.  All the missionaries keep talking about it but we could never find it.  It is sold by a street vendor.  They take a ball of dough and put cinnamon and sugar in the middle then they fry it like a doughnut.  It is really good.  They serve it in a paper cup because it is very hot.
Dogs with backpacks.
Elder Burr, Chris (non-member), Brother Poc (new member).  These two men really like Elder Burr and they have become good friends.  They took us to a street market the other day.  We had a great time.  We walked about 6 miles that day.

A street vendor selling vegetables.

A table of baked goods.

Grains of all kinds.

Fish and a very ugly squid.  There were lots of fish of all kinds for sell everywhere.

A picture of several vendors.  Sister Burr bought one of the sweaters on the rolling rack in the middle of the picture.  It was only $7.00.

This was at a store close to home.  A dozen apples for 49,900 won or about $50.00.  They are very nice big apples.  The apples here are very delicious.


Just leaving for our adventure with Chris and Brother Poc.  Brother Poc is always that happy.  


Sister Burr being brave and trying some acorn jelly.  It didn't have much taste to it.

Chris and Brother Poc helping Sister Burr buy cloths.
The courtyard around Lotte Tower is very spacious with lots of things to see.  We found this beautiful Christmas tree still there and they were playing Christmas carols from it.  They celebrate New Years on February 16th so maybe they will take it down then.

For our "P" day we decided to go exploring in the city.  This tower is called the Lotte Tower and is the tallest in Seoul.  It costs $30.00 to go to the top.  We have not done that yet but maybe we will before we go home.  We can see this tower from the Mission Home and it takes us about 30 minutes to walk here.
