Mission Reunion--Utah SLC Headquarters Mission- Holmes Version

Doug and Erin Holmes were our second mission leaders at the Headquarters Mission.  It was such a pleasure to get together at a park in Farmington on Saturday night and to enjoy connecting with each other.  Jena and I attended, but Gary had to serve at the temple and missed it. Not a lot of people we knew as we were only there for the first 8 months of their two year service, but it was still great and many people had heard of Jena even if they didn't know us personally.  She left a mark at the Church History Library.
Burrows on the right were the Library Zone leaders after the Carters
The Woodfields on the left were our neighbors in the Brigham Apartments
And the sister in the middle whose name I can't spell (or say correctly) is one who likes to exchange 
letters with Jena.

Without Gary, this represents the last 2 and 1/2 of the
Collections Zone leaders-
The Cooks(right)--current
the Yeamans (left)--in between us and the Cooks.
I sent this photo to Liz Heath, the historian we all served
with at the library and she loved it. (Except she missed Gary, of course.)

The Jacksons who served directly over us.
They are amazing, too.

President and Sister Holmes together

President and Sister Faerber served with the Family Search side of things,
but we knew them from Plano, Texas so many years ago. Fun connections...
and we found out that they are neighbors of the Bairds who served with us
in the AR Bentonville Mission.

What a privilege it was to served together! And this is just a portion of those we have served with--what a blessing they are to us.
