http://elkinsmission.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 25, 2012. This is a picture that will be forever imprinted on my heart. Soldiers blessing the sacrament. What more can I say? Friday, March 23, 2012. When I feel sorry for myself because of missing all of the wonderful friends we've made here, I'll remember the last words of our dear friend Ashley:. See you there.". Friday, March 9, 2012. It isn't going to be easy to beat me! I call this a "knot" of soldiers. Some of our soldiers elect to take marshall arts training in addition to regular P...

ElkinsMission: December 2011
http://elkinsmission.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 30, 2011. I absolutely love these natural Christmas trees that grow here. The little red berries are so festive and fun! There are trees with red berries everywhere. Some have leaves, some are just berries, some are trimmed like this into a Christmas tree shape. I would like to steal one to put in my house. I wouldn't even have to decorate it! We were happy to have permission to spend Christmas with our daughter and her family. Our oldest grandson turned twelve a couple days before Chris...

The Baker's: Where does the time go???
http://bakerfamily7.blogspot.com/2009/12/where-does-time-go.html
John, Bek, Colten, Fred, Haley, Jace, Riggs and Gage. Friday, December 11, 2009. Where does the time go? I absolutely love this time of year.I simply wish, on occasion, I could figure out a way to slow down and enjoy it! I love my children.I cannot believe we have gone through another round of birthdays and now they are all a year older. Riggs is now 7 and Colten is 15! I cannot believe I have a 15 year old son! I always LOVED being a "stay at home" Mom. It was one of my greatest treasures! I love my job!

ElkinsMission: Tender Mercies and Transfers
http://elkinsmission.blogspot.com/2012/01/tender-mercies-and-transfers.html
Friday, January 27, 2012. Tender Mercies and Transfers. This is a dear friend who used to come out to our Ft. Eustis Group to teach some of the Sunday lessons to the soldiers. Just before Christmas she and her husband were blessed with a sweet little son who will soon be legally adopted and sealed for eternity. What joy! We had the privilege of attending "transfer meeting" yesterday in Richmond. This is where all of the new missionaries are matched up to their companions, who will be trainers. We...This ...

ElkinsMission: September 2011
http://elkinsmission.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 9, 2011. The Chaplain called us! In the afternoon we drove to the Norfolk airport (1 hour away) to get Soldier K. After a couple calls and 1 1/2 hours of flight delays we were finally able to pick him up. The poor man had been travelling all day from California and had a major headache. I knew how he felt because flying makes me sick too. We finally got him delivered back to the base. Tuesday we had to be on base early for In-Processing which is usually on Monday, but was delayed becaus...

ElkinsMission: February 2012
http://elkinsmission.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 28, 2012. Everybody is named "Elder". I just wanted to add that the cute wife our our new stake president counselor is from one of the Carribbean countries and has a really fun accent. When we heard her speak of her conversion to the Church she said, "When we were being taught by the missionaries I thought that if we joined the church we would have to name all of our sons Elder. " Ha ha ha. Sunday, February 26, 2012. Manwiches for the soldiers. Elder S got the staples out of the back of...

ElkinsMission: Challenging week
http://elkinsmission.blogspot.com/2012/03/here-are-most-of-senior-missionaries-in.html
Friday, March 9, 2012. Here are most of the senior missionaries in the Virginia Richmond Mission. We get together once a quarter for a dinner and visiting. It is a great time to share experiences and laugh together. In our mission there are 4 military couples. In the whole world there are 54 military couples. Since 2005 the Ft. Eustis missionaries have had this number so it would have been a chore to contact everyone. In less than 4 weeks we will hand this phone over to a new couple. Ok, so we got the ph...

ElkinsMission: THE END
http://elkinsmission.blogspot.com/2012/04/end.html
Friday, April 6, 2012. How can I express the feelings that we have as our 18 month mission ends? We have loved so many soldiers, helped, cried, laughed, served, and learned. It is with joy that we say that we will never be the same. Our hearts are forever changed. It is a good change. Now we head home and on to the next adventure.. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Baker's: Christmas 2010
http://bakerfamily7.blogspot.com/2010/04/christmas-2010.html
John, Bek, Colten, Fred, Haley, Jace, Riggs and Gage. Thursday, April 29, 2010. So, this obviously shows exactly how far behind I am with life in general! Here it is almost May of 2010 and I am just now getting around to writing about our amazing Christmas Vacation! It was a vacation we will never forget! We had such a wonderful time. We played in the snow, went to the movies (taking up more than two rows I must add), went out to dinner (that alone was a memory not easily forgotten! John and Meghan Powell.
