Elder and Sister Hamilton visited our mission.  What a great spirit they brought to us as they helped us be better missionaries and better individuals.  Elder Kevin Hamilton is a member of the Second Quorum of Seventy and is currently serving in the Africa Southeast Area Presidency.  We loved their visit and have grown to love them as individuals.

THANKSGIVING 2013

Pictures cannot begin to portray the fun we had that day.

Friends help us be strong when we are all away from our families.

 

The great soccer tournament!!!

Complete with a lot of spectators.

 

Then they were all hungry. Can you believe that?

 

Don't they clean up well!! 

 

Then more crazy fun with skits!  Just like scout camp.
