Heather took this picture at Bridget's baptism on Saturday and I just really like it.

This is our District and 2 of our teachers, Brothers Rowe and Teuscher  

What is our purpose as missionaries?
"Invite others to come unto Christ by helping them receive the restored gospel through faith in Jesus Christ and His Atonement, repentance, baptism, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end." (Preach My Gospel)

Craig and I entered the Missionary Training Center last Monday and we spent a week re-learning how to listen, share, ask, invite, care and love. There was laughter, tears, smiles, friendship, testimonies, photos and lots of food. We're excited to move on to apply all of this and to serve.

We were able to come home each night to sleep in our own beds and also spend more time with the kids, and now we have the weekend to pack and say a few more goodbyes. I'm worried my suitcases will be over 50#s and I'll have to eliminate things I will really need. We fly to Auckland Monday, March 30th! Yikes!
