Our new Office Missionaries arrived.  Elder and Sister Clark are from Smithfield, Utah.  They have already been such a blessing to us and the mission.  They are planning on serving for 18 months.  We are so excited.  What a blessing the senior missionaries are to the mission, the missionaries, and the wards.  Whenever we visit where a Senior couple is serving, we hear from the Bishops, Stake Presidents, and members how they are loved and what a blessing they are.  I personally feel so blessed to serve and work with Elder and Sister Clark.  We love YOU!

Leadership Training - Northern Zone- April 24th, 2012

The AP's did a great training on teaching the Restoration Lesson, and President taught about understanding and feeling the Holy Ghost.  All the missionaries shared their feelings.  Then of course, we had lunch.  We do things other than eat, but it seems every picture is of eating.

Love you

These great brethren from the Sequim ward, are who cooked and served lunch.  It was so good.  Barbequed beef sandwiches, and the best coleslaw.  What a great example to these young missionaries.  This is the second time they have served us.  What great wards.  What great members.

Great Southern-like food!!!

What an awesome day.  These Elders just got a new van!!!!

Miracles

Springtime in the Northwest, particularly the Wa-Tac Mission is so beautiful  There are blossoms everywhere.  The most beautiful spring I think I have ever witnessed.   There are still cloudy and raining days, but the blossoms and the green is absolutely beautiful.  A witness of God's miracles. We had three days last weekend of bright sunny days. We are seeing the sun more often.   It was great to visit the wards and see all the missionaries with pink cheeks.  Kissed by the sun.  How we all loved it.  Spring is here.  These are just a few of the trees on the Mission Home property.  Just beautiful!!!
