New Couples, Visitors and History tour...

Sister (Nancy) and Elder Paul Hansen.  We're so 
glad they are here serving as a Senior couple at
the Independence Missouri Visitors' Center and 
Historic Liberty Jail.

We're serving together again!  They served with
us in the Philippines 4 years ago!  They are 
such wonderful missionaries and we feel 
blessed to have them here!

This is a Returned Missionary from our Philippines
San Pablo Mission!  His name is Alex Yost.  
He stopped here on his way home to Virginia!  
It was so good to seen him again! 
What a fine young man he is!

Alex with his mother, being taught by Sisters Bingham and 
Mudrow at Joseph Smith's timeline display.


Elder Peterson, Alex, Sister Peterson and Sister Yost.

Sister Welch is teaching about the History of Independence,
Jackson County, Missouri.

Just a different view...

This is a room at the end of the History tour.  It talks about growth
of the church since the time of Joseph Smith.

This is a little section where children can play and pretend...

Here we are with Rene Brooks who we knew when we were raising 
our kids in Coolidge.  Her dad was our Bishop for most of our time
there.  She stopped here for a tour, not knowing that we were serving
here!  The Hansens knew her too!  Pictured is Elder and Sister
Hansen, Rene, Myself and Elder Peterson.

Here we are with Rene and her cute family...

Where we were helping out at Liberty Jail, we ran into this 
young man, Brother Alvaro!  His brother served with us in our
in the Philippines. He had an aunt and other relatives with them 
that also recognized us... They all live in Texas now.  It was
fun to run into thes

Our Stake President, Jay Andersen, and his wife, Cindy,
and their family came for a visit to the VC and HLJ and
we had the opportunity to visit with them while they 
were here!  Cindy's parents came too! Great family!

This was a unique opportunity to run into this family, the 
Christiansen's from Cincinnati, Ohio.  They were good friends 
to our son, Grant and his wife, Amy.

It was fun to run into Kristi and Hyrum Wright while they were
on a tour with a group of Seminary and Institute teachers! They
are friends from Gilbert, Arizona!
