We attended and spoke in the Brookhaven Branch on the 22nd of August, it was good to see and visit with Elders Mark and Manning along with the dedicated members of the branch.

Former Missionary Visits - With his New Companion

We had a wonderful time catching up on the happenings of the MJM with (Elder) Joe Lyman and his wife Rachel. They were traveling back to Arizona from Virginia where they have been working this Summer.

The Mission President's Vehicle

The first photo is of our car taken last year on August 19th, it was brand new, the second is a picture taken this year on August 19th, of our speedometer. We were on the way home to Jackson from a day trip to Shreveport when it flipped over to 40,000 miles. Have I ever mentioned that we spend a lot of time on the road!

We Have a New Assistant

Elder Toone will soon return home, so Elder Knight has been called to serve with Elder Tibbs as the Assistants to the President

Arrival of Belgium Bound Elders

Monday the 16th of August, we welcomed Elders McCarlie, Schwartz, and Mickelsen to our mission. They will be in the MJM until they get approved to travel to Belgium. Shortly before returning home, Elder Toone was able to spend a little time with his cousin, Elder Mickelsen

Pretty Flowers, In Spite of the Heat

I am always amazed at the variety of beautiful flowers, even when it is over 100 degrees

Did I Mention That It Was Hot In Shreveport?

During the week of Leadership Training, by lunch time it was already 100 degrees, by the time the meeting ended our car (which was in the sun) said that it was 115 degrees. The local bank said it was 105 degrees. That's pretty hot in the humid South.
