Fun Flat Inspections

After the flat inspections, we try and take the missionaries out for a meal and just enjoy their awesome spirits. Here we are with Elder Tibbits and Elder Marks and later with Elder Salmons and Elder Blatter. They simply are the best!!

Part of our Institiute Class

How we love teaching Institute every Thursday night. Here are a few of our students at our home. Some were missing due to finals and the bad weather. Every second week they come to Carmarthen to give the Milford Haven and Carmarthen kids a break because the other weeks they drive to Swansea which is anywhere from 45 minutes to over an hour drive. This has been a super fun experience for us in addition to we are learning so much about the D & C.

Goodbye Dear Sister

There is a special bond between all of the sister missionaries and we are sad to lose that closeness as they head home to continue their life's pursuits. May the Lord bless you, Sister Van Eeden that all your dreams may come true!! You have served the Lord well!!

Goodbye And We Send Our Love

Here we are all at our Goodbye Dinner on Wednesday saying goodbye to three special missionaries, Elder Hummer, Elder Larsen, and Sister Van Eeden. Goodbye dear friends and may the Lord look after you!!!

Saying Goodbye Is Hard To do

We had a very special District and Zone training and get together Wednesday. Part of the time together was spent saying goodbye to dear, dear, dear friends and devoted missionaries who will be heading home next week! The goodbyes were to Elder Hummer our great district leader, Elder Larsen our devoted Zone leader and to Sister Van Eeden a dedicated sister missionary. We have become very close as a district and a zone and therefore it is hard to let them go home but of course we know how much their parents are rejoicing!!! Thanks parents for sending us such high caliber young adults to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. They were amazing!!!

Pictures With Our Great Chinese Friends

We had a great visit with Elder Wang and Elder Guo today as we did their flat inspections and then went out to eat. They wanted to be sure as we did that we took pictures of us all. They are exceptional missionaries from China.

Flat Inspections This Week

At some of our flat inspections this week we took pictures of Elder Habicht from Germany and Elder Mechum from Delta, Utah. They are serving in Aberystwyth and are the best elders. Today we did Elder Wang and Elder Guo's flat inspection in Newport. They both are from China. It was fascinating to talk to them of their conversion stories, of their learning the English language, and of their strong testimonies of the gospel. We love these great missionaries and so appreciate their devotion to the Lord. Elder Wang wants to be a dietitian and go to BYU--maybe he will help us take Crandall Corporate Dietitians to China!!!
