“We need thousands of more couples serving in the missions of the Church. Every mission president pleads for them. They…can leave the grandchildren. Those little darlings will be just fine, and I promise you will do things for them in the service of the Lord that, worlds without end, you could never do if you stayed home to hover over them. What greater gift could grandparents give their posterity than to say by deed as well as word, “In this family we serve missions!”

Snapshots of missionary life.

The missionary car. SUV with 4-wheel drive for the winter. Not a lot of places to park, and people park where and how they want to, mostly on the side walks...the streets are VERY narrow. You'll notice a small problem with trash everywhere.  With communism, the Government did everything and when they pulled out...no one knew how/or took responsibility to do anything....We have to walk a ways  to dumpsters by the Park.

The elders at the market right across the street (alley/trail)from our apartment bldg.

Produce is plentiful!!

Settling in to missionary life.
