We will really miss this great group of missionaries! They have given their best to the MJM and we are grateful for their service.
This is some of the experiences that have taken place in our lives as we have been called to serve as Mission President and wife of the Mississippi Jackson Mission in 2009. We are now adding some candid shots of our missionaries as they move the Work forward in this Great Mission. Sorry to report that we cannot include everyone, we try to hit some of the highlights.

Departing Missionaries–Mission Home
Clinton Transfer Point
Elder & Sister Erickson drive the transfer van from one end of our mission to the other. At each stop the missionaries “Circle Up”, sing a hymn and say a prayer and then board the Van for a ride to their new destination.
Elder Knight Meets Elder Knight
New Missionaries Arrive
Normally our missionaries arrive on Monday, but due to mechanical problems with their airplane, our May Elders spent the night en route in Dallas and arrived in Jackson Tuesday Morning. Their was just enough time for some photos, breakfast and some orientation before they boarded the transfer van and made their way to their new areas.

Florence Ward Missionaries
We attended church in Florence and were greeted by Elders Loebs and Sommer. Elder & Sister Petersen were welcomed into the ward and will be a wonderful help with the missionary effort in this ward.
