Ammon has changed from a Business Suit and tie to scrubs and operating tools. Well not entirely. He has to wear the Shirt and tie until he can convince someone to let him in the operating room with them as they use the medical device he has sold them for spinal surgery. He has gone to school and training for about three months with hands on to learn how to use the medical devices for back surgery

Nate has been assigned a year in Iraq. He will be the dentist for 121st Brigade in Tallil. It has been quite a process to watch he and Marie prayerfully  make decisions and prepare their little family for this year of unknowns and sacrifice. They feel like they tried every thing they could going into this assignment as a dentist in the army to avoid this type of assignment and it has come to them

 parley celebrated his birthday with us in Louisiana.what a treat for us!! He was interested in everything he saw from the minute he set foot off of the plane. We spent the first day with the missionaries at interviews. We know for sure that Parley is missionary material because he sat for 7 hours listening to scriptures and great instruction on the skills and faith of missionary work, and

Having "Reflections of Christ" here in our mission for three week has been such a blessing and has opened more doors than we ever imagined. The first miracle was the news paper article written by the religious editor of the main newspaper in Baton Rouge. He did a page and half on the exhibit. He interviewed me(dad wasn't home yikes) and he interviewed Mark. He quoted us both accurately. The

We spent a faith filled week with Elder and Sister Kikuchi. They are so delightful!! Sister Kikuchi taught me that you can  communicate much love and faith without saying alot of words. Those that know me can understand that that might be a novel thought. Elder Kikuchi changed our hearts forever with his faith and helping us understanding that the powers of Heaven our ours for the asking hour by

Hi everyone, I just thought I would catch you up a bit on our mission life. We had very quiet Christmas. We slept in until 10:00 don't tell our missionaries:) got up  packed up some baskets, and visited several investigators. It was fun. WE really don't have time to do that as much as we would like and spent the rest of the day talking to our family. We have had a huge transfer, of thirteen

We had a great Thanksgiving. Sarah and Glen were able to come the Friday before Thanksgiving which gave us time to visit and enjoy some one on one with them since we had not really seen them since their honeymoon. We had a new batch of missionaries come in on Tuesday and Glen and Sarah were so much help getting ready. They helped get the meal on while I was instructing. It was so fun to have them

When Ben delivered milk to my cousin's home that morning, he wasn't his usual sunny self. The slight, middle-aged man seemed in no mood for talking.
It was late November 1962, and as a newcomer to Lawndale, Calif., I was delighted that milkmen still brought bottles of milk to doorsteps. In the weeks that my husband,

Hi Everyone , I hope you had a great Thanksgiving. We enjoyed having Nate, Marie, Annie, Max, Meg, Brig, Sam, Sarah & Glen here for Thanks giving. It reminded me how much I love family traditions, so I decided to continue on of my favorites which is to read Christmas stories starting on December first. Since I can't turn on the Christmas lights and have you all gather in your blankies curled up

We just spent six fun days with Rachelle and the little girls. We enjoyed sharing our new home and surroundings with Rachelle and reading, singing, and playing with Olivia and Gracie. Our first stop was to meet our dear friends Don and Michelle Lake , who are also one of our senior couples in New Orleans, and  have dinner  at our favorite NO restaurant ,"Fat Greg's." One of the highlights was

Once a year we do zone conference a little different. We instruct in the morning and then play games in the afternoon with the zones competing against each other for the grand  prize  It is a great diversion and creates a lot of unity. There are those that have gone to AA for competitiveness . Can you guess who it might be. Yep , the guy with that still has hops.

President and Sister Woods entered the Louisiana Mission on June 27 2008. We thought we would tell you a little bit about us and our family. WE are from Mesa Arizona. President Woods retired from his dental practice of 32 years on November 31 2007. He was director of admissions at the Arizona Dental School and was serving as a bishop of a singles ward when he received the call to serve as the
