Blogs of note- being Senior Missionaries

As some of you may notice on the side of these posts are various items that I have placed on this blog. One of the items that I have placed there are blogs that I have found interesting and feel that others might find them equally interesting.

Being senior missionaries is fun, exciting, challenging, and in some cases, not easy. When you see others out in the field you wonder how they did it? what did they leave behind to serve the Lord? were they still working when they left to serve or were they retired. All types are here. Marcia and I had the chance to visit the San Pablo mission a few weeks ago. We were their on assignment from the legal department and were being escorted by the San Pablo mission president and his wife- President and Sister Petersen. As we spent the day and evening with them we learned that they had been active farmers in Arizona. President Petersen was/is a cotton farmer. Currently his farm is being  watched over by his neighbors. When their mission is complete they will return to farming.

One of the blogs listed is from Elder and Sister Hadlock. They are humanitarian missionaries currently in charge of wheel chair distribution here in the Philippines. They have a number of pictures and stories of interest. The video that had been playing on this blog over the weekend was of Elder Hadlock and some of the recipients of the wheel chairs.

I just added a blog that will be on this site for a short period of time. It is the blog of Elder and Sister Bird. They have been in the Philippines for almost two years now. They are scheduled to leave at the beginning of October. Their assignment has been working in the Public Affairs office. With that assignment has come many opportunities for them to meet some very interesting people. It also has put them in a position to see the church continue to rise out of obscurity here in the Philippines. If you get the chance to view their blog do so and I recommend you look at their older blogs as they have been around the country and have seen many different things...
