It's not goodbye

One of the elders just called all sad to say goodbye. I told him - "We are not leaving the earth, we are just leaving the mission!" We laughed. But it's true. We look forward to great times ahead with the WIRMs and their families. Please stay in touch.

I was going to post details about our 'homecoming' talks today, but I still need to figure out how to get a map to our house and church from google earth - I'll do that with my good sons' coaching in a day or two. I also have some fun missionary pictures that I still plan to post so you might want to check back on this blog every once and a while. I will put good links to the new mission blog in a few days.


So - here is one last slideshow of favorite images from our three years in the West Indies Mission. It's inspired by Oliver Cowdery's words on p 58 of the Pearl of Great Price,

"These were days never to be forgotten..."

I am trying a new video hosting site. I hope it works for you. This is the last regular slideshow I will make. I have another 'favorite things' one I will post before we leave.

It's been fun!

Slideshow celebrating 2008!

In addition to the regular January slideshow (shared in the previous post), Elders Cottam (in the office) and Elder Mundy (assistant) and I put together a celebration slideshow to share during January zone conferences. It has a sampling of the 2012 baptisms (could NOT fit them all in) that took place in the West Indies last year.

Enjoy!

Slideshow try

We flew from Guyana to Trinidad today and then had missionaries in the house all day for interviews. It was kind of hectic. In between getting pictures from them for the next slideshow and organizing a project to create a WIM photo gallery down one of the mission home hallways, I worked on uploading the new September slideshow. I wanted to try a new, clearer, even downloadable, higher resolution version. One of my sons has been experimenting and his video looks fabulous. However, everything seemed against me today. Even my son got online and played with it and concluded - "there must be a bug in the program today." :(

September 2008 Slide Show:



Tomorrow is Trinidad Zone Conference. I will take pictures and try to share - if my computer behaves!
