Our Awesome Mission President

Our humble, loving mission president spent the day with us at our Celestial Marriage activity. He joined in the dancing and it was fun for all of us to see him be a part of it all.

SPEED DATING

Another segment of our Celestial Marriage Activity was speed dating. The church in Donetsk has a loving park area. We took advantage of the nice weather all enjoyed the speed dating part. They are not shy about talking to one another, only getting serious.

Celestial Marriage Activity Donetsk Ukraine Mission

One of our big projects to help the single youth mix, mingle and hopefully find celestial marriage partner was our Big Celestial Marriage Activity in Donetsk on April 14th.  This was a mission wide activity for all singles ages 20 to 40 for the gals and 26-40 or returned missionaries for the men. Here we are having a dance instruction by our fun loving senior couple the Cannon's serving in Maurioople.

JUST ONE MORE THEN BACK TO WORK

A real scale made out of designer metal. We have both managed to stay the same weight, and thank heavens Elder Bailey still weighs more than Sister Bailey. The cookies, cakes, ice cream and goodies we are constantly serving our youth, missionaries, dinner with the president and senior couples keeps us in top physical form. Thank Heavens we have to walk everywhere!

Seniors Can Be Silly Also

Here's a moment of sillyness from senior couples. This is actually a monument of the beetles in down town Donetsk. We were trying to immitate them, but of course you see who the more serious one of us is.

A Day of Relaxing and Recreation

A couple mission is quite an interesting experience. We are together 24/7. Most the time it's busy with assignments, busy in study, busy in being with the youth, busy with district meeting, fixing meals for missionaries, our youth council, members we invite into our home etc. Today we had a few hours to visit a most delightful park in Donetsk, the center of the mission. This park was full of art made out of metal. Ukraine does not lack it's own artists and creators of beautiful things. Elder Bailey under duress posed for this picture with me. He's not much for liking the spotlight.
