Sister Missionaries

Sister missionaries are the best! They're making a tremendous difference in missionary work.

Our mission held a special conference for lady missionaries this week. Over 100 of them filled the chapel.

They are beautiful, don't you think? They now comprise 35% to 40% of our missionary force, up from about just 10% just 3 years ago. The recent missionary "surge" in the church is mostly a great increase in sister missionaries.

We husbands got to serve them lunch.

That was fun duty.

The sisters really seem to enjoy the salad bar. Do you recognize anyone at the bar?

We really enjoyed working with sister missionaries. They have a sweet spirit and are here because They really want to serve the Lord. Our district Sisters Franklin and Vasquez are on the right.

The subway train rides are a big part of our work. We New Yorkers found this cartoon amusing.

Getting around New York City is always an interesting challenge. Bicycles are a big part of the transportation picture. If we lived here permanently, I would buy one.

We enjoy our periodic walks around Brooklyn, exploring this beautiful city. Our institute classes are going well, and we're happy to be serving the Lord here.
