DOGS!!

Yup, it's true! Just ask Elder Peck!

It's a Monroeville Kinda Day

We love spending time with our Elders in Monroeville. Spent the afternoon with them for interviews, and then a Family History Fireside. Good Job Elder Swensen, Elder Crook, and Elder Peck! Oh, and we can't forget the half-time entertainment during interviews. It's always good to shake it up a little bit.

It's a Mississippi Kind of Day

Loved spending time with our Pascagoula District today.
We enjoyed lunch at Bozo's in Pascagoula with our Missionaries.
We were very impressed with our missionaries who shared the gospel message with most everyone in the fish market. I talked with this cute family, while they enjoyed a lunch of fresh crawfish.

Baptism Day in Perdido

Baptism in Perdido for Elder Driskell, Elder Frost, and Elder Deiderich.

B-day Fun!

Birthday Beach party for Sister Crandall in Tallahassee. Yeah!

Navajo Taco Time

The infamous Navajo tacos that Elder and Sister Bushman share with everyone! We were the recipients of their love after Stake Conference on Sunday. We are so grateful for their friendship and their service in Alabama.

Always Growing!

A good reminder on our way to Stake Conference in Mobile, Alabama Sunday morning.

Toxey Elders

All the way from Toxey (about 2-1/2 hours) to attend Stake Conference. Toxey is the most North Western area in our Mission.

Express Way

Missionaries traveling to transfer spot through the beautiful express way of Pensacola, find another kind of express.

Temple Trip

A temple trip to the Birmingham Temple with members from the Toxey Branch, and our wonderful Senior couple, Elder and Sister Anderson.

Departing Missionaries

Our departure dinner after transfers with our missionaries leaving for home.
Next morning, breakfast, and we're off to the Airport.
It was a little chaotic at the Airport. We almost missed Sister Christopherson's plane -so here's a picture including her, but excluding some of the others who were checking in.
And Sister McFarland and Sister Bevan's families picked them up at the Mission home.
Farewell!! We love you!!

Transfer Day in Crestview

We love transfer day, where all missionaries who are receiving new companions or being transferred to a different area in the Mission gather together in Crestview, Florida to find out where and with whom they will be serving. It's always a reunion day of sorts!
Elder Hintze, lifting and inspiring his previous companion, Elder Peterson.

Welcome New Missionaries

Welcoming our new missionaries at the Mission Home. Our Assistants are in the white shirts. It was a beautiful first new day in the Mission field for them.
Enjoyed dinner and a little bit of training, a good nights rest, and then gathered their bikes and gear and headed to the Church to meet their new companions and trainers. Then off to Crestview for transfers.
