New missionaries arrive, safe & sound ...

Assistant Elder Fish shares a scripture ...

_____________

You'd never guess these missionaries have

been on the go for more than 19 hours straight!

We enjoyed spending the evening together

and getting to know a little about them.

They are a great group!

Back Row: Elders Bagley, Carney, Osborn, Webb, & Murdock

Front Row: Elders Taylor, Gillis, Parker, Pelo, Leavitt,

Johnson, President & Sister Newman

Sitting: Sister Christison

So sad to see them go ...

Two years can fly by.
The Elders in this picture were part of the very first group to arrive in
2007, just a few short weeks after President Newman and I got here.
(The Sisters arrived about 6 months later.)
They feel like our own!
We love them all and know many choice blessings await them.

Back row: Elders Potter, Stoker, Jensen, McRae & Bewley
Middle Row: Elders Lionetti, Pickering, Thacker, Woolsey,
Akagi, Newmans
Sitting: Sisters Caldwell & Johnson

Missionaries Attend Temple with New Members ...

On Saturday, a group of missionaries, youth and ward members

from the JAX 2nd Ward and the Spanish Branch accompanied

new members to the Orlando Temple to perform baptisms.

It was a great day!
