Richard and Gloria’s Adventures. Friday, August 15, 2014. Missionaries Work, Work, Work! I have often said one of the greatest secrets of missionary work is work! Work, work, work-there is no substitute! President Ezra Taft Benson in Preach My Gospel) These sister work very hard. I felt I needed to post about the work. Usually we are too busy to take pictures unless we are having a birthday, breakfast or farewell celebration. However, I wanted to show the work done in the Mesa Temple Visitors' Center!

Richard and Gloria’s Adventures. Thursday, April 24, 2014. Ballard Girls Road Trip. When the girls told me they were coming a few months ago I actually cried some happy tears. I was so excited to see them and new baby Max. Angela and Max flew down and Emily and Leslie drove down with the 6 girls! They went to Zions on the way down and planned lots of fun for the way back home. While they were here we tried to soak up all the love we could! They came in time for Pageant. Gracie climbed the rope tower.

Richard and Gloria’s Adventures. Tuesday, December 2, 2014. November has been Eventful! A few miscellaneous things before we leave November for the December happenings. We needed some bonding. Planned a Monday P-day early morning movie of Ephraim's Rescue. The missionaries are in two teams and do not get together often for an activity. We feel very lucky to be here in Mesa serving our mission and to have been here for two Temple dedications, Gilbert and Phoenix. Currently this is the 144th working temple.
