We have had a LONG winter here in Anchorage. Actually, we set the record this winter, having the greatest number of days--232--between the first snow of the season and the last. This was the view out our apartment window on the morning of May 18. Now, a week later, this snowfall has melted (though there is still plenty around town). The trees are finally showing some green, and today it was near 70 degrees; we could enjoy a walk outside!
Annually a general authority visits each mission of the Church for a "Mission Tour." Elder Zwick of the Seventy came last week as our visiting authority. He and his wife conducted a full day of training for all the missionaries in the Anchorage, Soldatna, and Wasilla districts. (Other days they also visited the Juenau and Fairbanks districts.) We missionaries were energized by their enthusiasm, good counsel, and love. Here they pose with some of the 120 or so missionaries who attended our meetings in Anchorage.
