Departing couples

It's hard to believe these amazing missionaries are finishing up their missions. The time goes so fast. It's hard to say good-bye to such dear friends.  Elder Haleck of the Seventy said in April 2012 Conference:  "...Young men, women, and senior couples have answered the call of a prophet of God to serve missions.  With faith and courage they leave their homes and everything that is familiar to them because of their faith in the great good they can do as missionaries.  As they act on their vision to serve, they bless the lives of many and, in the process, change their own lives."    Each of these couples can each testify of this.  I encourage all whose age permits to serve a full time mission.  Even if you feel you are not capable or you are afraid I want to testify -

The Lord can't make the capable willing but he can make the willing capable. 

YOU CAN DO IT!

Elder and Sister Nelson have served a "Military Relations" Mission on the Fort Stewart Army Base in Hinesville, GA.  This is their third mission!!!!  They have had a profound influence in the lives of many soldier and their families.  Thank you so much from them and us! 

Elder and Sister Baker are also on their third mission!  They have served a "Member and Leadership Support" mission in the Dunn Ave Ward in Jacksonville.  They have helped many 'returning members' back to activity in that ward.  Elder Baker also served as a counselor in the bishopric of the ward.  Thank you so much!

Elder and Sister Sparks have served in the mission office of the FJM.  They have done EVERYTHING to keep the mission running.  They are the hard work behind the movement.  Elder Sparks kept the cars running and missionaries driving safely.  Sister Sparks keeps the office stocked, baptisms reported and referrals updated and everything else that we needed done.  Thank you so much.  

 WE LOVE YOU ALL, DEAR FRIENDS!
