Here is the traditional mission picture with President and Sister Finn. Sister Finn is the daughter of Bruce R. McConkie.
This is the triditional picture of all the incoming Elders and Sister with the mission presidency. There were 12 of us in our group. Four couples and four single sisters.
This is me in the training zone. I was passing off skills using FamilySearch. When I finished I was able to work on our own family history. This past week I uploaded a number of life sketchs for ancestorys.
We have had fun watching the gardens on temple square transform from tulips to summer flowers. This is how it looks in the morning as we walk across temple square from the conference center parking to the Joseph Smith Memorial building.
The next morning the flowers were planted. Local youth groups from the church came and plant the flowers. It is amazing and beautiful at the same time.
We received out assignment for the mission Friday morning. Elder Koberstein and I will be working in the Family History Library
in the Interational Collections which is level B1. I know I have a lot to learn to be effective helping those who come to the library.
Friday after we were given our assignments we meet our zone leaders and then did a session in the Salt Lake Temple and had lunch together in the temple.
Saturday morning early Elder Koberstein and I our bikes on the Jordan River Trail between Bountiful and Salt Lake City. Along the way we came upon a flock of geese sleeping in a parking lot. When we biked by they squaked a little but did not move. They must have been up all night.
It is amazing to bike into Salt Lake City and see temple square in the distance.
We stopped at the Family History Library for a picture before heading home.
We took the bus back to Bountiful. Fun P-day activity. Monday we start our fourth week of training. A mission is a learning experience.
