The Fun Spreads to Mississippi!

This is what we chose for our Missionary Placque to be hung in our ward at home.

Elder Holland: As we serve in the mission field, our children and grandchildren will be blessed in ways that would not have been possible had we stayed at home.

Jan. 25, 2016 Last weekend we spoke in a Ward Sacrament Meeting in Mississippi (2 hrs away but in our Stake!) and did a presentation for the public on FamilySearch at the Public Library there, & trained missionaries, non-members, & Family History Consultants in Mississippi on Fri, Sat & Sunday!  A full but great weekend!   We are loving our mission!

Tom emailed the mission president to tell him in detail how well the training was being received by the public.  Tom also told him that the young missionaries have expressed that they feel a lot more confident teaching others why we do family history after our training. After training, they feel they can help anyone get started. Tom asked the mission president if he would like us to travel the mission & train all of the young missionaries & senior couples. This was the mission president’s reply:

Dear Elder & Sister Price,

You have a great big yes for me! It is absolutely amazing what you both are doing! I was so excited, I forwarded your email to Salt Lake to show them everything that you were doing!

Let's go forward with your plan!

Give'em Heaven

This positive reply means we will start planning a schedule to meet with & train each of the 200 missionaries in our mission who live from Mississippi to Tallahassee, Florida! Fun!
