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.

 These pots are for storing Kimshi.  Fermented cabbage.  It sits in these pots for months before they eat it.  It has a hot sauce on it.  It takes some getting use to, but most people like it.
 This is a high tower in the heart of Seoul.  We went up to the top and took some pretty cool pictures.  The view is beautiful.
 From on top of the tower.

 Another picture of Seoul from the top of the tower.
 There is a place on top of the tower where people in love put a lock to keep their love forever.  There are literally thousands of them.
 In Seoul Zoo with all the missionaries.
 The elephants in zoo.
 Totem poles in the zoo.
 We were so tired by the time we got to the top of the zoo area that we rode this tram back down to the bottom.  It was really fun and a beautiful view.
 Our Korean friends, Chris and Brother Park took us to a big budah temple.
 There were thousands of these paper balloons/lights.  People buy them and put their family names on them to worship Buddha and to ask for blessings.

 Helping hands day.  We were picking up garbage along the river.  City officials were very grateful.
Many people showed up to help.  Maybe 150 people showed up to help.
