Missionary Moments October 12, 2014

We just returned from assisting Elder Higham (High-um) and Elder Harris. They asked us to accompany them to teach Sonja Martin, an investigator from Jamaica. We loved it! We each were asked to bear our testimony about the Restoration and the Book of Mormon. It was great to be proselyting 'missionaries for a day'!

These two elders are the Assistants to the President. They live in the flat just above the Self-Reliance Centre. We hear them jumping around up there from time to time when they do their exercising - our light fixtures start to rattle. They picked us up in the mission van one day when it was raining and we were without a car. They're great young men - we hobnob with them in the office now and again.

They're unspoiled Idaho boys so they eat anything we feed them!

Pull the handle to punch the holes.
Insert the coil into the coil thingamajig.
Add the punched booklet & presto! It's magic!

Is it an alien from outer space? NO! Is it a giant fly? NO! It's Sister Special!
She's so proud of driving a car with the steering wheel on the wrong side.
Round trip to Asda! Must have been at least 5 miles!

This is Super Dean, the fearless man who sat calmly in the car next to her.

It must be Halloween if there is a giant bat in Asda.
And to the right of the bat is Ali Baba, also in costume.
