Farewell to the Pingrees

On June 30th 2014, the Mortensen family arrived in the Texas Houston Mission! Sister Mortensen will be updating the mission blog.

We spent a few short hours with the Pingrees and felt of their great spirit and love for the missionaries and this great work of salvation. We were sad to see them go and I know the missionaries were too. To their credit, we have felt the full love and support of the missionaries and their desire to "not skip a beat" with the transition. What a blessing!

Here are a few pictures from that day.

From the Mission Tour

We spent a few days the first week touring the mission and meeting the missionaries. We loved getting to finally be with the missionaries. They were awesome! We love them so much and feel it a great honor to serve beside such consecrated servants of the Lord.
