We feel so blessed to be serving as missionaries for the Seminaries and Institutes Program for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Anchorage, Alaska. "Our purpose is to help the youth and young adults understand and rely on the teachings and Atonement of Jesus Christ, qualify for the blessings of the temple, and prepare themselves, their families, and others for eternal life with their Father in Heaven."

2 April 2012: We were welcomed at the dock in Haines, Alaska by long-time Rexburg acquaintances, Elder Don-David Powell and Sister Renee Powell. They are currently serving as "member-leader-support" missionaries in the tiny branch there. They keep busy helping the local members and promoting goodwill for the Church with community service. Behind them is the chapel where, on a good Sunday, 20 will attend services. To the right is the small cabin where they live. Haines received 366 inches of snow this winter.
