Elder Robert D. Hales of the Quorum of the Twelve taught:
 “Going on a mission teaches you to live the law of consecration. It may be the only time in your life when you can give to the Lord all your time, talents, and resources. In return, the Lord will bless you with HisSpirit to be with you. He will be close to you and strengthen you”

This is a picture of my first mission in 1970-71.  My mission President was Wm. L. Nicholes and his wife Honey Nicholes.  I served in the California East Mission with some of the best missionaries and today we still spend time together because our hearts were knit together thru the service we gave as young missionaries.  





















Wendy and I then served in Samoa 2014-15 for our first Sr. Couples mission.
Our Mission President was Reid Tolman and his wife Deb Tolman and they are dear friends of ours forever.  We had the best time together serving the people of Samoa.



Now we are off to Fiji on a Humanitarian Services Mission.  
2019-2021  We are very excited and we have potentially 5 grandchildren that could leave while we are gone.  Carson Scott, Spencer Saunders, Audrey Saunders, Eli Burton, Cole Saunders - That is very exciting for our family.
