28 April 2012:  Last night we had a lovely dinner at the Anchorage mission home with a big group of senior missionaries.  Here we are with President John Beesley and his wife, SuuzE. He was raised in Rexburg, and she in St Anthony.  They stay very busy keeping track of such a large mission.  Alaska is 2 1/2 times the size of Texas, plus they have the Yukon Territory in Canada as well.  Today they were flying to Barrow to check on the elders there.
