Many visitors in New York!

Everyone seems to visit New York City at one time or another.  Here are a few of the people that passed through while we were there.....

Family. Of course, we had lots of family come by. Once they found out that our 23 month mission had been shortened to 7 months, their vacations were moved up. One of the things our boys loved to do is bike Manhattan with their Dad. Here is our oldest son getting ready to try to 'leave his dad in the dust' as they headed down along the Hudson River, around the island and across the Brooklyn Bridge....about 7 miles each way.

Faces from the Poland Warsaw Mission:  Visiting New York with her father, Sister Forsey stopped by to say 'hello'. It was great to see her and catch up on her life.

Faces from the old 'Fort Apache Ward':  Hillary Morris happened to be in the temple with her husband one day. We have known Hillary since she was a little girl. She has grown up to be a great wife and mother.

Faces from the 'Preach My Gospel'  DVDs???   I told you everyone seems to make it to New York City sometime in their life. This is Sister Payne...one of the sister missionaries who 'stars' in The District...a church produced teaching DVD that shows full-time missionaries all over the world how to effectively preach the gospel.

It was always fun to visit with the many friends, family and acquaintances that made their way to the New York Manhattan Temple. I was always impressed that even though they were on vacation in one of the most exciting cities in the world, they had a desire to visit the Lord's house. Good people.
