Special Sisters in the Visitors' Center

We get to serve with these beautiful Sisters. They are so amazing, they work so hard and have a great spirit about them. They work, work, work and teach, teach, teach, and really love all God's children. This was a quick picture before preparation meeting so I will get some more pictures with all the sisters. We have 32 sisters assigned to the center and 6 Senior missionaries. 

Here are some future sister missionaries. These darling activity day girls came in jumping up and down and surrounded me as I greeted them. They had tags on with their names and had their calls in hand. They were called to Japan, Korea, South Africa etc. They just could not contain their enthusiasm. We took them to a teaching room where they met with two darling sister missionaries and talked about missions and watched a film. After the film more jumping up and down as they found the Book of Mormon from our display in the language of their mission. What a choice experience for them, one they will long remember. Choice for me also.

Josh Bills and Family Visit

We had a great visit with Josh, Cheri, Carter, Madison, Reagan, and McKinley Bills.  Josh is Richard's nephew, MaryAnn's son. They visited the visitors' center and than came to our condo for lunch. I got a few nice hugs and we loved hearing about the family. They were in Mesa for a military event.

Carter was not thrilled at the moment, he had just banged his knee on the coffee table! Big ouch!
