New Mission President Announced

It is hard to believe that our time serving here is almost done, but we are starting to get reminders all the time that we will soon need to move on and find our life in Twin Falls again.  We love everyone we have become acquainted with here and will miss them and still have it in our hearts to return for a visit or two.  We know the McDonough’s will be perfect  for the job.

Hills Family Visits the MJM

We spent breakfast with the family of recently returned missionary Jaime Hills.  It was fun to get to know her parents and one of her brothers. It was especially good to visit with Jaime and get an update on her life since returning home.   Sister Hills has a twin brother who served a mission in Russia, and has another brother currently serving a mission in Russia.  Her youngest brother Kyle will be ready for his mission in a couple more years.

April Zone Leader Council

We met together for ZLC on Friday and spent our time together learning how to be better Zone Leaders and help the missionaries whom they each have stewardship over.  We discussed the Importance of the Atonement, how to apply it in our lives and how to help our investigators learn about and apply the atonement in their lives.  New Zone Leaders who will begin service this next week are Elders Sheriff, Bricker, Englert, and McGary.

Jerry’s Catfish House

Returning home after an afternoon in Hattiesburg, we stopped in Richland for some dinner at a place recently visited and made famous by Presidential Hopeful Mitt Romney. 

Jackson District

We met with the Jackson District, Elder Green taught a great lesson, we enjoyed our time with them, as our testimonies were strengthened by the faith of these great Elders.  The “oldest” missionary in this group has been on his mission just over 10 months.  After the meeting we told them they could pose for the picture anyway they would like, here is what they chose.  Elders Whiting, Whatcott, Bendel, Hosea and Eisinger & Green

Jackson Branch

We attended church at the Jackson Branch, we love our awesome missionaries working hard in the Jackson Branch.  We were greeted by Elders Hosea, Bendel, Eisinger, and Green. 

Elder Ryan Hintze Returns with his Family

It’s been a couple of months since we have seen Elder Hintze, and now he goes by Ryan.  We are always happy to meet the family of our missionaries.  We know this mom is happy to be with her son as he shares some of his memories from the past couple of years.
