This is our district group at the MTC; Atwoods going to Independence, MO. the Staggs going to Togo, Africa, the Tanners going to England and the Ellis's going to New Mexico.
Our home in Independence. We live on the first floor. Old but cozy inside, across the street from the cemetery.
We came in time to attend the Annual Christmas Zone Conference. 270 Elders and Sisters. It was wonderful seeing them and hearing their testimonies. Elder Hart (center) assigned to our Ward with us.
These are the 20 young sisters working at the Visitor Center singing Christmas songs. Sister Ray (left) and Sister Ogletree (right)
We drove to Richmond, MO, where Oliver Cowdery's grave is marked with monument to the three witnesses.
Alexander Doniphan's statue is also erected here praising his influence as a great General and Lawyer. He defended the saints with Joseph Smith both legally and with his refusal to execute Joseph.
Her we are in the Visitor's Center in Independence where we will serve occasionally as substitutes.
This looks fun I'm excited to look at it.
