We have many remarkably talented missionaries. Two of these--Elder Daniel Hovey and Elder Derek Larson created our new mission logo. This logo seems perfect for Atlantic Canada and is full of symbolism with the lighthouse, crashing waves and sturdy rocks. It contains the quote by Pres. Monson, "Look to the lighthouse of the Lord." Thank you Elder Larson and Elder Hovey.

A few times a year we have a French temple trip for all the missionaries called to speak French as well as their companions. Some of the French-speaking members come as well. It's always a joyous occasion.
Sis. Buchanan left mid month. She extended a couple of weeks, so she didn't depart with the rest of her group. She definitely finished strong--she was able to have a baptism during that last week. We already miss her and wish her lots of blessings in her future life.
We were privileged to have Elder and Sis. Meurs, of the 70, visit for a mission tour. It was a whirlwind tour--zone conferences on Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday and then a Mission Leadership Council on Thursday before dropping them off at the airport. They were very impressed with our amazing missionaries. (We know we have the greatest missionaries, and the Meurs seemed to confirm our opinion. ) We all tried to soak in the Meurs' counsel and learn what we could from them. We told the Meurs they will be quoted for months to come (and that's the truth). The missionaries try to absorb all the knowledge they are given--it's remarkable to see. You would be proud. Below--Elder Ipson and Larson (what happens when they get hold of my camera when I'm not looking).

We have memories of these young people that will last a lifetime. They will always be in our hearts.
