Unloading the trailer at Sister Cluff and Robinson's apartment

Crazy hot pink slippers of Sister Robinson

Gotta love em

This is the bathroom/laundry room of Sister Cluff and Robinson.  They have to sit

on the toilet to get their clothes out of the dryer, and they can only open it part way.

  Gotta love missionary life!  They do feel very blessed not to have to pay to wash

their clothes at the laundromat

They are happy with their new mattresses!

Pretty cute isn't he?

They were excited, because we were headed to a restaurant!

Sharlene is a new member we worked with in Fairfield.

We are her "church parents".  She suffers from PSTD

because she served in the military in Iraq and witnessed

some horrible things.  She has changed her life so much,

and is planning on going to the temple in April.  We are

looking forward to being with her on that day.

Are they just the cutest!

Asher also visiting.  We love him, love him.

Some had more fun than others!

Our beautiful daughters with Elder Simkins.

Sherie, our investigator with her daughter.

Rhonda, Christian, and Andrew Anderson.

We have been working with the Anderson's for 

several months.  Brother Anderson and their daughter

Jessica were not there for the picture.  

Roxanne, Andy, and his uncle.

We have been teaching Roxanne and Andy who

have been inactive, and were so excited that Andy 

chose to be baptized.  He is 8 1/2 yrs. old.  We love the 

little guy.  He loves reading the scriptures, and is quite 

knowledgeable.  We hope and pray that they will stay

active after we leave the area.

Andy with his missionaries!
