We Love our Missionaries!

As missionaries share their testimonies and love for the gospel of Jesus Christ, we hope you too will share with others. Share this link with family and friends, and help spread the good news of the gospel.

The Sweetest Baptism

We attended the sweetest baptism on Sunday for Brother Ayurs. We are so proud of our Sister Missionaries in Tallahassee, Sister Whetten, Sister King, and Sister Krebs.

Missionary Field Day in Madison, Florida

Missionary field day in Madison, Florida with our missionaries.

Always Hard to Say Goodbye

These great missionaries flew out this morning, looking forward to a wonderful reunion with their families after two years of dedicated service. Elder Kirk, Elder Weir, Elder Lane, Elder Gordon, and Elder Judy. Elder Wright will fly out at the end of February (we're so happy we get to keep him a little longer!).

Elder Judy is probably the only missionary to leave this mission 15 pounds lighter!!

More New Missionaries!!

Yesterday we received fifteen new missionaries. There is always added excitement in the mission field with newly arriving missionaries. When we picked them up last night it was a fairly warm 60 degrees. This morning at transfers it was a miserable 30 degrees. Not a very good Florida weather welcome. It took us all a little off guard.

All loaded up to head to the Mission home for dinner and training. Hopefully they can keep their eyes open, after having been up since 2:30 a.m.

It's always fun to see how many of these missionaries know other missionaries in the mission when they arrive. This is our new Elder, Elder Smith with Elder Musgrave. They lived next door fifteen years ago and haven't seen each other since.

This is our new Sister, Sister Stephenson with Sister Wells. They are in the same stake back home in Idaho.

Only two new sisters in this group. But those two sisters bring our sister total to 100!

Elder Johnson received instruction on properly attaching his new bike to his car.

You can't tell, because the sun is shining through the tree's, but it is bitter cold with the wind and humidity!

At least they are getting into warm cars, instead of jumping on their new bikes to head out to their areas!

Good bye to our cute Elder Acton

Elder Acton finally received his VISA to Brazil. He has been in the mission field almost ten months. He said it felt like leaving home again. We will miss him and his fun, energetic personality.

Teaching and Testifying

It's been a fun week for us to go out teaching with the missionaries. We don't have pictures of all the missionaries we went with. Most nights were rainy and cold! But, this is Elder Sanders and Elder Carlile getting ready to go out teaching with President. I'm ready to go with Sister DeVries and Sister Redd, two of our Sister Trainer Leaders in Dothan, Alabama.

Visiting in Crestview, I went out with Sister Shattuck and Sister Leifson, two of our Sister Trainer Leaders. We also went out with Elders Foster and Evans (Crestview, Florida), Elder Call and Elder Truman, and Sister Barnes and Sister Crandall in Panama City. We love it! Awesome missionaries!
