Dinner at President Keyes Home

         We had our Bi-Monthly dinner and fireside at the home of Mission President Keyes.  This is his home.  They had a wonderful dinner for all the Senior Missionaries in the field.  We filled up two rooms of tables and had plenty to eat.

         After dinner the President and his councilor spoke to us.  Elder Haws, one of the Senior missionaries was called to serve as the Executive Secretary.  My picture of him and his wife was too blurry (I'm not used to taking pictures)  Then, we had two sets of missionaries bare their testimony since they are both leaving for home soon.  Elder & Sister Godfrey (above) work at the VC in Independence and Elder & Sister Stevenson (below)  work at the Historic Liberty Jail. They are from Alpine and friends of Dave Paskett.

         We met new couples this night.  This is Elder & Sister Perrish from the area.  He taught at Kansas University and can remember names right after meeting you.  Something I need to learn better.

        This is Elder & Sister Stout MLS missionaries like us.  They are assigned to a small rural branch with only 600 in the town.  She lived at Winter Quarters and he served a mission to Independence years ago with President Keyes.  In fact, President Keyes stayed at her home when he was a young missionary to recoup from illness.  He then, spoke at her mother's funeral just awhile ago.  They were a fun couple to get to know.
