Any of you who served in Volgograd probably know and love Olga Davydova. She was recently diagnosed with cancer and needs our help to raise funds for chemotherapy. She already has a decent amount, but she's short $2300. I'm collecting money to send to her. If you can help, even if it's only $5, I know she would greatly appreciate it.
You can donate via Paypal (https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=5767519). You can enter how much you want to donate. Any money collected in excess of the $2300 will be donated to the general missionary fund.
She needs this soon. The longer she waits to begin treatment, the greater risk she takes.
Thank you for your help! I know it will mean a lot to Olga.
With warmest regards,
Erik Buras
Served 1999-2001

I am looking for any contact info for the current president or anyone in the mission who might be ablr to help me find an old friend. I baptized a woman in Rostov (in the Celmash branch) named Luba Shabanova. A few months after her baptism, her husband took his own life. This was extremely trying for her, but the gospel and the branch were instrumental in helping her through it. In the Spring of 1998 she moved to a remote area and sometime the next year her only son, Misha, was killed by a sniper in Chechnya. I kept contact with her for a couple of years after my mission, but I have lost her address. She has had a lot of sore trials and after she moved away from an area where the church was her testimony waned. I think of her (and many others) often and lately I have felt strongly that I should write to her again. I'm sure a letter from an old friend would brighten her day if nothing else. Also, November of this year will mark 10 years since her husband's death. He was a good man and a very good friend to me and I would like to get a letter to her if I can by November. I think she lives somewhere near Shakhti but I don't remember for sure. If you could help me or if you know how to contact the current mission president I would be grateful.
Thanks,
Jared Grigg

Hey everyone! I'm so excited to serve in the Rostov mission and have only heard great things about it. I had a question about my passport application and was wondering if you guys remembered what you put for the travel section where it asks for the date of trip, length, and countries to be visited. Do I just put my MTC entry date and then 18 months and Russia? Thanks!

Hi everybody,
I recently finished my MBA with emphasis in international management and am looking for work (preferably with Western company) in Russia or the CIS. I'm finding it quite difficult to track down American businessmen in Russia. If anyone knows of any such people who I could contact, I would be very appreciative.
Thanks for your help,

On Friday, April 4, 2003, there will be a mission reunion for those who served in the Rostov Mission under Siwachok, Schwartz, and Arnold. It starts at 6 pm, and includes dinner at 6:30 pm. The cost is $5 per plate. RSVP to Pres. Schwartz' email address ASAP: schwartzr@byui.edu--this is important so there will be enough food! Spread the word! See you there!!
The address is 3350 S. 100 E., Bountiful, Utah. It is an LDS Church. Directions are as follows: Take exit 318 off I-15 whether traveling northbound or southbound. This puts you on 2600 S. Go east to 500 W. and turn south, then go to 3100 S. and turn east. Go east to 100 E. and then south to 3350 S. and there it is!
If you have questions, you can email Pres. Schwartz or call the Schwartz' at (208) 356-3069.

If you could help me out by sending them to me I would be extremely grateful.

I also want try and contact Eva and Eva in Krasnodar or President Posmetukha. In Volgograd I am trying to find Evald, Raisa, Slava, and Artyom. Sorry that I do not have any last names, but I have forgotten them...tramvai do strange things to your brain when they hit you.

Sister Siwachok passed away on Friday January 3, 2003 from lung cancer. Furneral services for her will be held in Ashton, Idaho on Tuesday Janjuary 7, 2003 at 11:00 AM in the 3rd and 4th Ward LDS Church Building in Ashton. It is on Main Street across from the cemetary. There will also be a viewing the night before (Monday January 6, 2003). If you would like to contribute to flowers and a gift, you can contact me. Also, if you are planning on attending the services, please contact me. President Siwachok has asked the missionaries to sing a number at the furneral and I am trying to coordinate it.

Privyet!
I have been asked to help with finding people to do some interpreting for couples and families who have and are going to adopt children from Russia. If there are any of you out there who live relatively close to Salt Lake and could help families and their adopted children make this transition in their lives easier by interpreting, please contact me, Hannah Gibb.
I've been out once to help a girl at a Young Women meeting. It was so much fun. I don't know if it's kosher to leave my number, but please feel free to contact me via the webmaster. (I believe that's how this is supposed to work now.) Please leave me your phone number if you can help and I will pass it on to the woman who requested my help.
Thanks so much!!
Hannah Anitta Gibb
