Great Missionaries








Yesterday we had our first District Meeting with Elder Smith as our new Assistant to the President and with our two Danish missionaries. Elder Smith wisely used these two Elders to do training since both were Assistants to the President before coming to Iceland. They are both excellent trainers and helped their companions by having them do a good part of the training. It was great to see the synergy that took place between these great missionaries. We were all blessed to be in the training and learn from them. Sorry the picture is so poor - this new camera is either not so good or we don´t know how to use it.

Today we took the 2 Danish elders and their companions on the south coast trip. Since Sister Bremner and I had just taken Elder Smith and Elder Ellsworth on the same trip a couple of weeks ago they did not go this time - probably wanted to stay home and be dry. It rained most of the day and we got fairly wet but it was still a good trip as there are some wonderful sights along the south coast. Elder Smedley had a bad experience with the sands of the glaciers. He thought he could jump onto a rock in the river by the glacier only to find it disappear under him. Thus the picture with wet pant legs and jacket arms and the gloves on his feet to stay warm since his socks and shoes were water logged. The other pictures are taken at Dyrhólaey and the lighthouse and the cave at Reynisfjara.

That picture of the gloves on his feet cracks me up! I'm glad you guys are there to take such good care of the Elders.

Oh, so that's how come we have fake sightings of big foot? From boys who put gloves on their feet!
