Marissa going into MTC

Ashley and Caitlin took Marissa to the MTC

First month in the mission

Our first month has come and gone.  Is has been wonderful!  Exhausting, over whelming, but wonderful!  the move went smoothly, it is a beautiful house and the area is green and lush.  We love to stare in awe as we drive from Vermont to Maine, at how beautiful it is!  Every where trees, green and more trees.  We have seen a lot already, and we have covered most of the three states our mission covers.  There are many, many miles to cover in this mission.  So it makes it a little more of a challenge  to get to know and work with all of the missionaries like we would love to do.  We love them all, we have the greatest missionaries, they are so willing to work hard and do the lords work.   I will try to post some pictures.
 
We had Marissa with us for the first month.  We were so lucky to have her if only for a short time.  She left on her mission to Australia July 30th.  Cameron left on his mission while we were in the MTC on June 25th.
