The Newest Missionaries

We were thrilled to welcome the next group of missionaries. This was a large group and came well trained and ready to work. It's always fun to get sisters in the group. 

Elders left to right:  Elders Reid, Jamison, Wilcox, Fuller, Allen, Neville, Allred, Johnson, Nelson and Morris
Sisters Capua, Hafslund, Surtees and Feltwell

Elder Wilcox has no idea who has his back.  But then either does Elder Fuller.  Good job President Barry.

Elder Reid and Elder Morris.  President Barry still looking over his flock.

They were so hungry and exhausted by the time they got here.  They hadn't had breakfast or lunch and they devoured dinnner...nothing was left.  By dessert they were more relaxed and happy.  This is a great group.


On a personal note: Sister Feltwell arrived in the mission on October 13th. She is a Nauvoo Sister Missionary who is assigned to our mission for the 'outbound' part of her mission. Nauvoo doesn't have the Sisters stay through the winter and they are sent to missions around the country to serve for six months. Sister Feltwell will be here until April and then will finish her mission in Nauvoo next summer.

President Barry and I have a daughter, Jessica, who returned from her mission to Nauvoo last August. Guess who our daughter's companion was in Nauvoo?...Yes, Sister Feltwell. It's a small world!
