28 April 2012:  Several mornings a week we do exercise walking early in the morning up and down the halls at a local enclosed mall.  This stuffed bear is on display there and always gives us a little chill!  Some of the stores open onto a huge ice skating rink inside the mall!  Last week we got to teach a Institute lesson on Ezra and Nehemiah.  It was really fun to study hard on these scriptures, find principles in them, and share them with the students.  We also had a quarterly faculty meeting with Seminary and Institute leaders, and our senior-missionary-couple counterparts from Juneau and Fairbanks.  They are great couples doing a wonderful job supervising seminaries and teaching Institute in their areas.  In this photo, Elder Hawkins is standing with (l to r) Elder and Sister Spens (assigned to Fairbanks), Elder and Sister Powell (assigned to Haines), Elder Parker, and Elder and Sister Campbell (office missionaries).
