Meet the WIM Office Staff

Although serving as the West Indies Mission Office Manager / Secretary to the President and the Mission Financial Secretary are not the assignments we expected as fulltime missionaries, we are "thrusting in our sickles with all our soul, that our sins may be forgiven ... that we may be laden with sheaves upon our backs ... and that our family will live (together in eternity)!" (D&C 31:5)

We hope soon to be working in the Perpetual Education Fund in Guyana, but for now we are busy ordering replacement nametags for missionaries, making sure they have rent money, arranging to have cars repaired, paying bills and reassuring worried Mothers! Jumping through a varity of governmental hoops to be sure all missionaries are in the country “legally,” ordering brochures and manuals and making certain there is a generous supply of Books of Mormon on the shelf for investigators!

Meet the mission office staff – four of 17 senior missionary couples currently serving in the West Indies Mission - including (from left [front] Elder and Sister Luster (Ephraim, UT); [Elder and] Sister Childs (American Fork, UT); Elder and Sister Wheeler (Blackfoot, ID) and Elder and Sister Sappington (St. George, UT). We are also happy to have an assortment of young elders, including Elders Johnson, Dyson and Jordan, helping from time-to-time in the office.
