Siberian Battalion Missionary Reunion

Friday evening we gathered with some of our returned missionaries (a group of about 100) for a reunion. It is fun to be with them again and to get caught up on their lives. When you share a common experience of serving in the same mission field - there is truly a bond!


We think our missionaries were some of the best in the church!! We met new husbands, wives, fiancees, dates and even some of our returned missionaries' children! This is some of the payoff for serving a mission!

Eternal friendships are made on a mission!

We love to see our senior missionaries as well!!

The clean up went quickly with so much good help!

  2. Great dress, Patty. I was thinking about you during Conference about getting together with your missionaries. I'm so proud of you for your selfless work with them and so happy for you for that special bond. They were so lucky to have you and I'm sure they love you. How could they help but!

  3. I made a comment here earlier, but I guess it didn't "take" I was thinking of you on Friday night, wondering if you were reunioning. I am touched by your selfless service not only to the Siberian people, but to all of these missionaries here. You've made a big difference in lives on two continents!
