I say wonderful because we were able to celebrate the life of our nephew, David Allred. His young life and fight with cancer has been an example to all of us. We are so grateful for his testimony and we pray for his family in his absence for a season. We are so thankful for the gospel and the eternal nature of families. We were able to see so much family. Trevor came with his two children and Darin and Lori with their family.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNNayOpKN0XgwnUrlOcvR00pBSuhjkRDM0Tj2cwzTweev7thaVQh-T04lJ7YSMsld22Y_ZcTQujgyopQoYFc-dsfX5vzVO1NLf_V9veoDDwLIg-SI8XMeDFrH_cwTcblpFgS7e3WyxKe4v/s1600-h/DSC01674.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNNayOpKN0XgwnUrlOcvR00pBSuhjkRDM0Tj2cwzTweev7thaVQh-T04lJ7YSMsld22Y_ZcTQujgyopQoYFc-dsfX5vzVO1NLf_V9veoDDwLIg-SI8XMeDFrH_cwTcblpFgS7e3WyxKe4v/s320/DSC01674.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322863603036929730" /></a><br /><br />After the funeral we headed for Salt Lake City to wait for general conference. I have never attended live conference in the convention center and Clyde wanted to visit the Family History Library. So we spent the week in Salt Lake and loved every minute of it. We soaked up the history of the church by visiting the museum, watching the Joseph Smith film, attending the temple, and temple visitors center, seeing the Mormon art show and listening to the organ recital. We practiced our skills of research on family lines. I say practice because we are novices at really how to do research. We had a blast with so much information and help in one place. We saw friends from our mission and old friends from Texas. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid0c9eg5grwxieQY7EJrWc5e8OgntLL5DYMt5LOIOSJyM8LPK9L3pDYT0R1cqT0TYtDUrlI0jmbY0foUb-nC_ugi1-Zs5qATcWnBlzWlb7GvIhcb1SSSzMTtxZHYfYrF0YoLkTadudKWLz/s1600-h/DSC01706.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid0c9eg5grwxieQY7EJrWc5e8OgntLL5DYMt5LOIOSJyM8LPK9L3pDYT0R1cqT0TYtDUrlI0jmbY0foUb-nC_ugi1-Zs5qATcWnBlzWlb7GvIhcb1SSSzMTtxZHYfYrF0YoLkTadudKWLz/s320/DSC01706.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322867475888438002" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVMen28tvvxC9RUm0jNyGx2CUi7-enDFkU9T6LXvTEVoI0i7NU6Hled6FK9RViKDCetznykvkqQWR6e4Sb9PagyqU_HfuGomosfF7skIjohjjMiw1f2u438_l76O5dnWj0GzngZSYQ-MpX/s1600-h/DSC01722.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVMen28tvvxC9RUm0jNyGx2CUi7-enDFkU9T6LXvTEVoI0i7NU6Hled6FK9RViKDCetznykvkqQWR6e4Sb9PagyqU_HfuGomosfF7skIjohjjMiw1f2u438_l76O5dnWj0GzngZSYQ-MpX/s320/DSC01722.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322866432004329394" /></a><br /><br /><br />The most wonderful thing about the trip to Salt Lake was conference. We were able to attend all but one session in person. We sat at the feet (literally on the middle 13th row from the front) of our apostles and prophet and drank of the Spirit. It was literally a life changing experience to see the gospel in action. We have lived in the mission field so many years and there is nothing like seeing the world wide church to make you grateful for our leaders and their sacrifices in our behalf.

We are about to finish our mission. The other senior missionaries have already had a little going away get together for us and then the leaders and directors that we work with in family history had a surprise party for us too. It finally hit us and we cried to have to say goodbye to friends we have made that we may never see again. This is a bitter sweet time. Many of the compliments we received was that there has definitely been an increase in family history, we have patiently taught them how to do family history and they were grateful for our example of dedication and our love for family history. We also had our interview with President Johnson and he thanked us for all we have accomplished. We have loved our mission and it is a bitter sweet time with lots of mixed emotions. We hate to see it come to an end but the best is yet to come and that is to reunite with our dear family and friends. We long to hug those grandkids once again.<br /><br />We have spent the last week training a new couple missionary to take our place. When we explained all of our job description and what they had to do it sounded a bit overwhelming even to us. But the Lord has called them and knows they are capable for the task and will bless them as he did us. They are wonderful people and we are so excited to have someone carry on the work with the members. The garden of family history is fragile and needs lots of care to continue to grow and bring forth fruit. Many ancestors are waiting patiently to be a part of an eternal family with God. Our prayer and a piece of our heart will always be with the members in the Caribbean that we love so. They have been an example of faithfulness. The gospel is only about 30 years old and they are the pioneers of this area. They carry large loads with their callings because they are few in number. Many of their ancestors have been ripped away from family and homeland. They have a history of slavery and abuse. They have not had the wonderful blessing of family and many do not know their fathers. My heart aches for what they have suffered in this wicked, selfish world. But the members embrace the gospel message of truth and the plan of happiness. They are grateful for the restoration of the gospel and the scriptures. They know God and Jesus Christ love them. They are wonderful people that will always be an example to us. We love them so.<br /><br />Serving a mission in the beautiful Caribbean Islands has been beyond description. We have been blessed to serve right near the shadows of the temple. We have many examples of faithful senior missionaries that we have made friends with. It has been a privilege to serve under the direction of the area president Elder Johnson who is also a cousin. He and Clyde have a loving bond of family and friendship. We will always hold a special place in our mind of the beautiful waters of the many islands. We have indeed experienced the best.<br /><br />We have learned to love each other and appreciate our eternal union. We have learned to appreciate more the promptings of the Spirit. We have gained a greater appreciation of the Savior's great atoning sacrifice. We marvel at the power of sealing blessings to families that the Lord has offered His children. We love the examples of the great prophets in the scriptures and our modern day prophets and leaders. They devote their whole lives to the cause of the Lord and His members. May we ever be mindful of the Lord's out pouring of blessings upon our head. He loves us and answers our prayers of supplication to Him. We testify that our Father in Heaven and His Son live. The Book of Mormon is the word of God and the gospel was restored by the Prophet Joseph Smith. We love the time that we have been privileged to be about our Father's business. We honor Him and will continue to serve Him.callredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01070543206731188069noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1614153545400891186.post-44260283459671004692008-09-21T14:22:00.001-07:002008-09-21T15:02:01.704-07:00Beautiful Barbados<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJpnI20j41t10_nBaNpPdNsNpW9BCbiEi2Wvx6uQMliBOmR8Fya8jx5aGOsyupKfTvPNw81iVYl9ItUmpX9RhOSMVZ01FQ7RsL63NxFO204iYiw-mzqR78snsPvkb-Yv3B_bC-BaLa5QKj/s1600-h/DSC01020.JPG"><img style="float:right;

Barbados was a gorgeous place to end our island tours. As I looked over the beautiful waters I got so sentimental to think that all of this is coming to a close. Our mission has been such a blessing and we will really miss it. Each place we visit we fall in love with the people and their culture. These wonderful people had everything ready for us. They had a new built in table for the computer. And YES the computer was there!!!! We did have a little trouble with the internet but after Elder Allred gave his magic touch (he has become the computer pro now) it worked. It always amazes me how much time it takes to solve computer problems. This one was an all day one. Another wonderful thing was they had all their consultants and director called and we had a great training. I could help with the teaching because they all speak English. Hurray! We finished in record time and had a day extra to see the beautiful sites. What a wonderful time we had. Another place in my heart was touched by the faithful few saints. I admire the island members. They are few in numbers but have strong convictions of the truth. They are the true pioneers of the Caribbean. We have truly grown to love them all. We pray the Lord will continue to bless them in our absence and their love for family history will grow and flourish. We pray that their families will be united forever.callredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01070543206731188069noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1614153545400891186.post-58079127248431097542008-09-21T13:43:00.000-07:002008-10-25T08:48:18.240-07:00Suriname<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDFYyrhyphenhyphenGbdIhOhQ6AK3t65vCnWCdfKVQwIi82B6O5E8Kr9C2mFa9Yek01Xcnn8t46gK5B7bg9P3vodOSeNM0A1_c_m4dpaSgJgxP0Hzb4zXdpWLVRUMJDdVkAn33q6kODa2246RW9ogE8/s1600-h/DSC00945.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDFYyrhyphenhyphenGbdIhOhQ6AK3t65vCnWCdfKVQwIi82B6O5E8Kr9C2mFa9Yek01Xcnn8t46gK5B7bg9P3vodOSeNM0A1_c_m4dpaSgJgxP0Hzb4zXdpWLVRUMJDdVkAn33q6kODa2246RW9ogE8/s320/DSC00945.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5248585458777122034" /></a><br /><br /> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0f2n5mv5-XMMcdHdpxzpbdN-HzTaqd5EjLlWXU8cpLd9Mq0FV3hi6YMsIzNRj2Zm2xjsCTa9x3SI-OU7AVnqhzKMO1G9iU69-EVSgzqADjuuR_a_GCFTsPMWZ45CdAYZ-hl7HkX4L77_g/s1600-h/DSC00915.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0f2n5mv5-XMMcdHdpxzpbdN-HzTaqd5EjLlWXU8cpLd9Mq0FV3hi6YMsIzNRj2Zm2xjsCTa9x3SI-OU7AVnqhzKMO1G9iU69-EVSgzqADjuuR_a_GCFTsPMWZ45CdAYZ-hl7HkX4L77_g/s320/DSC00915.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5248585165117880914" /></a><br /><br /> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgahaTwxB__ehaadOpY3hq58eO74UAcgPOppoPfHfvN2u7t7HhhODvC0u7RQbvJZZ8hFQ0GS_QNwiJwa-fOuDx4MGDImRYcDGQgRuFO-3UMEraPVJEx01RUlGDOZ6zTZ-sEkfiLA2UHsY3n/s1600-h/DSC00918.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgahaTwxB__ehaadOpY3hq58eO74UAcgPOppoPfHfvN2u7t7HhhODvC0u7RQbvJZZ8hFQ0GS_QNwiJwa-fOuDx4MGDImRYcDGQgRuFO-3UMEraPVJEx01RUlGDOZ6zTZ-sEkfiLA2UHsY3n/s320/DSC00918.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5248584797959705170" /></a><br />Suriname is a small country in South America. They speak Dutch but thank goodness a few understand English. We went to set up their first family history center. Unfortunately the computer was on back order and arrived the day of our departure. We used our laptops instead and purchased a desk and chairs for when the computer arrived. There was also another disappointment that the Internet was not installed yet. We still carried on with our training in the hotel where we had Internet. President Johnson called a new West Indies family history adviser and we were able to meet with him and his wife to teach them. The best part of the whole trip was the food his wife fixed for the missionary zone conference that was going on the same time we were there. It was a delicious buffet of Oriental and Indian food. Many of the members there are from Oriental background but they speak Dutch. I kept expecting them to speak Chinese or Japanese. Their ancestors came to work as servants for rich landlords. It is sad to see how families were ripped apart and sold from their homeland just for the comfort and ease of the wealthy. Also they have different cultures and religions such as Buddhist, Muslim and Christianity. The church is very new there and they were so anxious to hear about family history. It was wonderful to feel their spirit because we could not understand Dutch. We enjoyed our stay and their open arms for our visit.callredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01070543206731188069noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1614153545400891186.post-30383404999171337082008-09-09T13:23:00.000-07:002008-09-09T13:39:27.319-07:00Good bye Puerto Rico<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcKGKp_fzBV1YvGBvIWOJ5LPEWL0fFBj1E0YeqbyPLp13TcRhzl8fYmAdZKeU9YwSEx6IRp4dacvx5wboOgJENjv0hYPmJ4zHtqSj0bOy0C59ssM-jqfL2bdfLHcWbRMVu1eidmfAD1_U2/s1600-h/DSC00835.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcKGKp_fzBV1YvGBvIWOJ5LPEWL0fFBj1E0YeqbyPLp13TcRhzl8fYmAdZKeU9YwSEx6IRp4dacvx5wboOgJENjv0hYPmJ4zHtqSj0bOy0C59ssM-jqfL2bdfLHcWbRMVu1eidmfAD1_U2/s320/DSC00835.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244123932833719362" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOz1GjI11eNp3TatNhJjTNQdBi1GjEeHHml0KjrrELSakzLd1Sr_qkH6qs3HN1hIncC-mGCgUfoj-RYmpxBd7a09u4RJXhCmdSFNBOWywbHhZMsKmlcqSTJkUhBPhh0J-U-qhUPBJwLvpc/s1600-h/DSC00904.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOz1GjI11eNp3TatNhJjTNQdBi1GjEeHHml0KjrrELSakzLd1Sr_qkH6qs3HN1hIncC-mGCgUfoj-RYmpxBd7a09u4RJXhCmdSFNBOWywbHhZMsKmlcqSTJkUhBPhh0J-U-qhUPBJwLvpc/s320/DSC00904.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244123628236168546" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifmUBL9wuNDakhChvivYVHLI0-ilT9lLLpuPPT0L79G8kGziv_jtD6IwytYLX865sTKaDjYTS2HwDn-7teweq3uq4sjserEM2COCvxpPtjrSRWrIZGrQ1A5OUDmn8D2J_ShMdpuM_qH0gF/s1600-h/DSC00897.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifmUBL9wuNDakhChvivYVHLI0-ilT9lLLpuPPT0L79G8kGziv_jtD6IwytYLX865sTKaDjYTS2HwDn-7teweq3uq4sjserEM2COCvxpPtjrSRWrIZGrQ1A5OUDmn8D2J_ShMdpuM_qH0gF/s320/DSC00897.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244120495466824274" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghu_4qZTKKAsRU-lgeef3GMtjBjSpcOZzqKPpQ8_vIlXUNTy9O2xVJisES9zdDaKkGGqGJ1x52iqSLfIDQGKjOfuOpOaGgtJOoSQRs7XjLB3C54FYz9uoic5a0EIvg-FEYkXTnalIgK4af/s1600-h/DSC00890.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghu_4qZTKKAsRU-lgeef3GMtjBjSpcOZzqKPpQ8_vIlXUNTy9O2xVJisES9zdDaKkGGqGJ1x52iqSLfIDQGKjOfuOpOaGgtJOoSQRs7XjLB3C54FYz9uoic5a0EIvg-FEYkXTnalIgK4af/s320/DSC00890.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244120149611928722" /></a><br /><br />We took our last trip to Puerto Rico. We checked all the equipment, upgraded the computer memory and trained directors. We visited all of our family history centers which had us sleeping in a different bed each night. It was back to work and plenty of it! Each day was full and we would drop into bed late at night. We did get a chance to kiss Susan and Stan good bye. It is always so fun to see them and we talk non stop about all our common work. They are wonderful mission presidents and a fine example of dedication. They begged us to come back to their mission. Now we have lots of offers to come back as President Johnson wants us to come back to the Caribbean. Our family history trainers want us to come to South America. We are grateful we have had the privilege of serving. When we got back to our temple home, we found out one of the couples had to go home. The wife had an emergency and they had to rush her to the states. The husband just cried because he loves the work here and hated to leave the people. It will be a bitter sweet time when we have to leave too. We have learned so much and are so grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ and the Savior's love for all of us.callredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01070543206731188069noreply@blogger.com1
