Better Pictures of our Assistants

After a Trainer Training meeting at the Clinton Meetinghouse, we went back to the rear of the parking lot for photos of our assistants.  It is so beautiful and would make a perfect setting for a temple :)

Elder Nykamp New Assistant

Saturday Elder Nykamp began serving as an Assistant to President Tucker.  Elder Spangler is teaching him all that he knows so that he can move to a new area and train a new missionary on Tuesday.  When we arrived at the office Tuesday morning this is how we found them – It helped put a smile on all of our faces.

Mission Presidents Seminar–Atlanta, Georgia

Leaving mission boundaries is a big deal, especially when it only happens two times a year.  We had the opportunity to drive to Atlanta and attend our last Seminar.  We will miss the wonderful training by our leaders and  association with the other mission presidents and wives in our Area.  This was also the last Seminar for President & Sister Satterfield, President & Sister Cotterell, and President & Sister Thomas.
