Treseders Return to WIM

Richard and Margaret (“Meg”) Treseder, of Queen Creek, Arizona, joined us here in the WIM in late July for the second time in the West Indies where they will provide shadow leadership to the saints in Berbice. They were first called to serve in Guyana in March 2009, but were soon transferred to St. Lucia after spending what Sister Treseder describes as “a fun day in the Georgetown jail” along with approximately 30 other foreign missionaries expelled from the country in September 2009. “It is a favorite story our grandchildren love to tell their friends.”

Calling their first mission “an incredible experience in both places” the Treseders are anxious to renew friendships with those they knew and loved in Berbice as they “madly try to remember names and places. Having been there before is reassuring, although we know it won’t be exactly the same place we left. On the other hand, we are not looking forward to the bugs, mosquitoes, chiggers, and the muggy weather.”

We are delighted to be serving with Elder and Sister "T" - as they were called during their first mission in the West Indies - and look forward to getting together with them from time-to-time.
