We drove to Clifton, ID this morning for the mission report of our friends Vince and Corliss Whitehead. They were the Humanitarian couple the last part of our mission in Jamaica. Kroeber's helped us build a chicken coop for them, Polly and Chris actually went with them a whole day of humanitarian work - up in the bush! It was wonderful to see them and they gave great gospel talks. They are the couple next to us, then the Murdocks from AZ - they took over after the Whiteheads... Then the Larsens from Parawan UT. He carved coconut shell nativity sets for all the senior couples - while his wife taught keyboard lessons all over the island. They have gone on three missions!
These wonderful sisters just had to hug each other! Brother Murdock remembered Dad calling him at their house before they came to Jamaica. Dad was in charge of getting apartments for them and had a couple lined up and wanted to talk to them to see which they wanted. Bro. Murdock, told him on the phone -" I really don't care, I'll have my wife with me so it needs to be safe." Dad said: Well it is in a secure gated community - but no where is absolutely safe! Bro. Murdock said it took him back a little bit - but they learned to love it as we did - and the Lord protects for the most part. Wonderful service and luncheon afterward and we drove the hour back to Pocatello in time for our ward at 1:00.
