A missionary is someone who leaves his or her home for a little while so others can have their families forever.

Our Mission Scriptures

Our Mission Scriptures:

"Oh, that I were an angel, and could have the wish of mine heart . . . Yea, I would declare unto every soul, as with the voice of thunder, repentance and the plan of redemption, that they should repent and come unto our God, that there might not be more sorrow upon all the face of the earth." Alma 29:1-2 (Book of Mormon)

" . . . be ye steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord." 1 Corinthians 15:58 (Bible)

Or, is it a Million Pics Are Worth a Word?

 
 Mow Cop is the highest place in Staffordshire

People sometimes think this is the remains of a castle 
Elder Blain has his hands open wide to say it is all his for the taking!  He's on top of the world. Ha, ha. 

 
Countryside


We visited Mow Cop Castle because it was in the area we happened to be doing our work today.  This is actually the remains of a summer home built in 1754.  It can be seen for miles because it is the highest point in all of Staffordshire.  It seems to have been named after the town of Mow Cop, which is nearby.

  3. Not corny in the least. Most interesting wondering about the people and their life back then and how many servants they had to bring stuff up to them. Just think about sitting in the castle and being able to look out every day across the countryside. Intriguing.
