Good Bye to Sister Lor


We have been so blessed to get the Temple Square Sisters on their rotations. Sister Lor is our fourth Sister from Temple Square. Sister Lor will be missed . She truly made a difference here.















Snow in Louisiana




They say "it never snows in Louisiana. " That's funny, it has snowed both winters we have been here. It snowed all morning on Feb 11. As you can see it stayed on the ground for a couple of hours. The flakes were giant and beautiful.

DECEMBER DEPARTURES

It just doesn't get any easier to let these Great missionaries go. It helps to think about the excited mothers that are making their favorite meal, fixing their rooms and putting picture books together in anticipation of their return. Thank you for sharing Your great sons. We love them.

JANUARY DEPARTURES

We have had some wonderful experiences with these Elders. We will miss them. They have served with their might, mind, and strength, and have left a legacy.



JANUARY ARRIVALS

ELDER CONDIE'S VISIT

We were so blessed to have Elder Spencer J. Condie and his sweet wife come for a mission tour on January 6th. They were with us for three days. We had three wonderful zone conferences where Elder Condie and President answered questions that the elders had submitted during the previous zone conference. In preparation for the Zone Conference they had been marking their Book of Mormons and were spiritually prepared to do some "Learning By Faith." Elder Condie taught them about teaching skills. He taught them how to aproach the Doctrine of the Godhead with these good people of the South. He taught us How to bring the spirit in our teaching. Sister Condie is a scriptorian and taught us about obedience from the scriptures. Elder Condie understands the human heart and is so full of love. He bore his testimony through music with a very expressive arrangement of "Oh How Lovely Was the Morning" He has a great sense of humor and lightened our hearts with laughter. We all felt more confident and infused with the spirit. We love you Elder and Sister Condie.

WHITE CHRISTMAS
