Smile Because It Happened.
Christmas Day ~
We met with President Bryan Zaccardi, our Stake President.
He released us as full-time missionaries for
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon Church)
This is our plaque that hung on the wall of the Stake offices in the church in Billings Montana
for the duration of our mission.
It is a beautiful plaque. Lisa Dickson took our picture at the Halifax Temple that is on the plaque.
We currently have it in the shop having the August 2016 changed to December 2016.
These are our Certificates of Release as Ordinance Workers from the Halifax Nova Scotia Temple, signed by our temple presidency.
Presidents Veinot, Drennan and Green.
We only worked with the Veinot's, Drennan's and Green's regularly for a short time,
but we surely came to love them.
WHY DON'T I HAVE A PICTURE OF US WITH THEM??
I REMEMBER PLANNING TO DO THAT!!

This has truly been an amazing experience for us!
Our gratitude to Our Father in Heaven is deep.
We are grateful to have had the opportunity to serve Him in His Holy House.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is His church on the earth today.
This last 21 months has made that clearer and clearer to both of us on a daily basis.
We have been so blessed to be able to serve in the Maritimes.
The people there are incredible!!
This is my (Sidney) second mission.
I have been allowed to serve in the best mission in the world each time.
The people in the Maritimes and the people in the Republic of Ireland
are the friendliest, kindest people you'll ever meet.
I almost hesitate to apply for another mission thinking
I can't continue to get the very best missions each time!!
What about all the other missionaries who miss out??
However, we'll see what the Lord has in store for us!!
For those curious about our next adventure....
We'll be moving to Nauvoo, Illinois.
We are excited to make that move.
We have a lot of work to do on our home there and
we are excited to become members of the community.
