Elder and Sister Brandon at the MTC with some of our classmates and one of our favorite instructors, Brother Barney !! We loved the MTC, met some great senior missionaries and some great instructors. Our instructors had touching testimonies. The young elders and sisters were so fun!! The food was great, and too much of it!!!!
Temple square during the Christmas Season, a very calming, spiritual experience. We went on Temple Square everyday.
This is the Church Office Building (COB) where we are serving our mission. We serve on the 17th floor, in the finance and records department. Our first day we were shown the outside stairs--just in case we ever need to evacuate!! Pray for us, please!!!!
This a picture we took from just outside of our apartment!! This is probably our favorite picture of the Salt Lake Temple.
We have been so blessed!!! On the first day of our mission at the COB, we were walking home through the underground tunnel. We heard a sound and stopped to look behind us and we had no idea who it was--it was two men in dark suits riding in one of the carts. We quickly walked to the end of the tunnel, and waited to see who it was-- it was President Monson!! He stopped and spoke with us. What a wonderful experience it was!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Our hearts were leeping!!!!!!!!!!!! This last week we went to the mission's temple devotional to hear Elder Nash of the Seventy. A day or two later we rode in the JSMB elevator with Elder Hinckley (President Gordon B. Hinckley's son, one of the Seventy).

Our mission is keeping us very busy!! We enjoy Brother George Cannon--the man we work for--he works for the Lord!! It is great working for the Lord and those who serve him. We enjoy having devotionals almost daily--this really invites the spirit.

We are fortunate to be able to attend Music and the Spoken Word each Sunday--what a great way to begin the Sabbath Day.

Elder and Sister Brrrrrrrrrandon--it is very cold here!!
