Jenn on a Mission

As Sister Booth says in her letter below, she was able to attend a baptism the first full day of being in Alaska! What a great way to get started! Amanda is the person being baptized. Here she is with Sister Booth and Sister Dalton: Here they are again: Here she is with her mom (I think): Here is Sister Booth, Amanda, her mom, and Sister Dalton: Like I said, what an amazing experience to start out with when arriving to Alaska! Here's Sister Booth's first letter home after arriving in Alaska: Date: February 22, 2010 12:33:47 PM PST Subject: First Week in the Mission Field Hi Friends and Family! So I am writing to my friends and family so yes, Mom, please forward this to my friends. First to friends, I cannot email you, but you can reply to me. If you do reply, will you please include your physical address so I can write you back? I would love to hear from you, and of course if you can write a physical letter that would be great! So last Wednesday is...

Well, the time has come for Sister Booth to head to Alaska! Bring on the frigid temps and mounds of snow! This is it! Here are some pictures from the plane trip up there: Some of the missionaries she traveled with (you can see Sis. Nay in the background): Here are some shots out the window of the beautiful mountains (you can see them below the clouds): The new arrivals were able to make it to the Anchorage temple before heading out to their assigned areas. Here's a group shot (you will recognize some of the missionaries from the MTC): Here are a few shots of Sister Booth out in front of the Temple: Again: Horizontal: This last shot is of Sister Booth with her new Mission President and his wife, President and Sister Dance: Good luck, Sister Booth!!

Sister Booth wanted to remember a lot of the people she served with and learned with in the MTC. This next post has a lot of those people in it. These are some pictures of Sister Booth around the MTC with different groups of people. Pay attention to the clothing color scheme (I think it was planned)... Here she is with her companions and Elder Thorpe: This one definitely had to be planned. Too much red not to be: Sister Booth with her companions (Sis. Nay and Sis. Worley) and one of their teachers, Sis. Walker. Now for some purples... Again: Closer, this time: Again: This is the same people from above, just adding some Elders from their District: Elder Uele and Elder Greenwell (I think): Now adding Sister Walker: Again: Sister Walker with some of the Elders: Again: This last one is of the Elders in Sister Booth's District having some fun on the stairs: That's it!

The second trip to the Provo Temple was a gorgeous day! It's very obvious that everyone was told what to wear, though. You'll see as you scroll through the pictures... Here's Sister Booth with her District (Blue, Gray and Black!): Here's Sister Booth's District again with a few extra Sister missionaries. I'm not sure if they're part of their District or not... Again: Closer: Here is one of just the Sisters. From left to right: Sister Nay, Sister Booth, Sister Worley, Sister Dalton, Sister Rathgeber, and Sister Ellsworth. Here they are again: And again: Here is one of the other three sisters together. From left to right: Sister Dalton, Sister Ellsworth, and Sister Rathgeber Here's a collage of Sister Booth with her companions, Sister Nay and Sister Worley: Now for the Elders. I think this is the order, from left to right: Elder Weekes, Elder Uele, Elder Ouellette, Elder Ruttnebur and Elder Greenwell: Trying to look ...

As most of you know, the MTC is a place of learning! A LOT! There is lots of classroom time and there are some amazing teachers up there! Sister Booth learned so much and had a great time getting to know the missionaries in her district. (And I'm going to try and put some pieces together to label these:) There were two teachers that Sister Booth wanted to remember. One is Sister Walker and the other is Brother Haslem. We'll start off with the picture of Sister Booth and Sister Walker: Here is Sister Walker with Sister Booth and her companions Sister Worley and Sister Nay: This is a picture of Sister Walker's name tag in the middle with all of the District's name tags around it, giving us an idea of those in Sister Booth's District: Another shot of the name tags: The other teacher Sister Booth wanted to remember was Brother Haslem. Here he is with Sister Booth and her companions: Here's a picture of Brother Haslem's name tag with ...
