Russian Lunch!
Mashed potatoes, big sausage (tasted just like baloney) cucumber, tomato, cabbage, dill, salad!
Love the sock and sandals :)
They cleaned the church for their service project.
Youth Conference in Vladivostok, Russia
For youth ages 14-18.
20 came from the 7 cities in the mission.
I think 5 of the 20 were investigators.
Elder Manzhos of the Area 70 was our guest speaker. He is from the Ukraine. He lives in Moscow while on assignment. He also came to meet with the Personal Relations People. We can do three things. Hold open houses, do service and wear the "helping hands" t-shirts and work to strengthen part-member families.
They fed us great meals. Russian borshe, meat & pasta, & the traditional salad.
They put mayo on everything.
And fruit juice is the drink of choice.
They have fruit & juice breaks.....not the typical Mormon punch & cookies.
It's great!
They love to take group pictures so every event we attend, including church, they pause to take a group photo.
We are loving every minute. The work is progressing. Each night we get reports of 5 new investigators each day, and at least 3 baptismal dates each week. So the work is beginning to blossom here in the Far East!

WOW - That is way cool. I love the socks and sandals...how funny! The food looks yummy - but looks can be deceiving. haha - I still don't think I would like Borche - I hate beets and the smell of beets
Thanks for the post! I thought the sausage was a roll or bun of some sort. It is huge for a sausage. Have you ever seen/heard the baloney commercial??? B-O-L-O-G-N-A. BOLOGNA...you must be thinking in Russian, because you forgetting English! ha ha ha
I heard about the Russian salads. They sound a lot like the salads that we had in Chile. They really don't eat lettuce salads. They like a chopped onion and tomato salad with mayonnaise on top. Sometimes they add sliced avocado to it. They also like chopped cabbage with oil and vinegar. That's another salad. They were different at first, but I grew accustomed to them and began to like them. I love to hear about Russia. It looks like thing are going well there!
That's cool that they always like to take group pictures at every event. The plate of food looks a little questionable. Love the socks and sandals--classic. Thanks for sharing.
I had no idea the investigator activity was that good in Russia. How wonderful that is to hear.
I love the photos.
We had a missionary report yesterday, a boy who went to South Africa. He has an accent! will you come home with one?
