Ukrainian Feast

This is our authentic Ukrainian Christmas Dinner. In the pot is a dumpling filled with meat and served with mushrooms. The rolls have a fruit filling and sometimes a meat filling. There is also a a rice pudding dish, a cabbage salad type dish and a home made juice made with fruit. It was all very tasty, well most of it.

The Wise Men?

The branch president enlisted a couple of the branch missionaries to play the part of the wise men. The young men in the red and brown are missionaries. The young man in white is a student here. A large number of black youth come here for higher education and are being taught the gospel here and accepting the invitation to be baptised. They are humble and very pleasant young men. They come from Nigeria, Uganda, and other African countries.

Our Ukrainian Joseph and Mary

One of the funnest times we have here in Ukraine is when we are involved in an activity with little children. There are not alot of little children in the branches here. We hope and pray that the future will be full of families and children in the church here.
