We really enjoy getting to know the young missionaries! We have three sets that work with us in the Employment Center a couple hours each week. They have such a great desire to serve our Heavenly Father faithfully. They are really an inspiration to us!


Sister Gee, Lythgoe, Chatfield; Anna and Sister Wilson

Elder Canfield and Elder Ames
Elder Ames was transferred last transfer and is now a Zone Leader upstate.

Elder Ashton wants to put a swing like this up to the lake! The picture doesn't really do it justice - it is a really tall swing!



We went to Scarsdale for a Senior Missionary Couples get together. As we were driving around we found this home. Thought it was pretty.

Inside the Joseph Smith Farm Welcome Center
We went to Palmyra to the Joseph Smith Sr. farm, Sacred Grove, Palmyra Temple, and Hill Cumorah. The trip was amazing! As the Sister missionary took us to the sites on the farm - relating stories and general information, we could feel the Spirit and truthfulness as to the tremendous events that took place here. We are hoping to come back in July and attend the Pagent at Hill Cumorah.
