Last Thursday and Friday, we had a Seniors Conference at the mission. All the senior couples in the mission came. We met at the temple Thursday afternoon and went through a session. Then we all went to the Mall of America to see how many pass along cards we could give out. We got several referrals and gave out alot of cards. After that we went to the mission home for dinner and then had a wonderful testimony meeting. The next day we had breakfast, training, lunch and then headed to the Jonathan Paddleford paddle boat for a fall cruise up the Mississippi River. It was a chilly......but beautiful fall day. It was fun to get to know the other couples in the mission better.
It was nice we could go inside to warm up, although I spent most of the time out on the deck!
The leaves are just beginning to turn.
Here's the Howell's ready to embark. They were the last ones on the boat.
Elder Holt, Elder Wiberg and Sister Rudolph.
The Powell's and Sister Corcoran. Elder Sippel bought some popcorn to share.
The Barlow's are new to the mission. They are serving in Duluth - CES. They have only been here a month and it was really fun to get to know them. They are my aunt and uncle's neighbors in Orem!
Sister Howell and Sister Naatjes! They are the best!
The Surratts are serving in Hutchinson, the Sippels in Hayward, the Wiberg's in Sparta, the Powell's in Menominie.
What a great way to spend our last day together. We feel so blessed to have known all these good people who are sacrificing so much to serve a mission here in Minnesota. They all miss their families and some are not in good health, but they willingly do what they can to help God's kingdom grow. They are all great examples of us, and we will miss serving with them.

They should call you guys something else besides "Senior" missionaries. I don't think you guys look like seniors. I am glad you had fun though.
