Introduction

The Family of David Michael and Susan Bennion McQueen

This blog is dedicatied to the two most important things in our lives - our family and our LDS Mission. Our daughter Mary is married to Travis Furry and they have two children. Our son Matthew is married to Elizabeth Hawes and they have four children. Sue and I served in the Ukraine Donetsk Mission in the Eastern portion of Ukraine. We were mission parents to 342 wonderful missionaires over a three year period of time.

This picture was taken at our last reunion held on Matt and Liz's front lawn. Mary and Travis provided the Army shirts in honor of our family's 23 years of following Dad around the world so he could have fun serving in the United States Army.





Our missionaries arrived on this very train to begin their mission in Donetsk Ukraine. We loved waiting at the train station to pick up new missionaries and to return to say goodbye to the ones leaving our mission. The blue Donetsk train station holds a special place in our hearts. We arrived in Donetsk on this train on 30 June 1999. President and Sister Manzhos were the mission parents we followed and they had really trained the missionaires well. He became an Area Authority Seventy and came back to visit the mission and conduct district conferences. He never made me feel uncomfortable. We consider him and his family to be great friends.
