AP's, miscellaneous, and Hezseltine's farewell - January 2016



President Carlson having fun with his first set of Assistants - 
Elder Treadway (sees no evil) and Elder Verdoni (hears no evil).
The next set of Assistants to the President are Elder Wight who joined Elder Verdoni

A view of the ruins of the Ducor Hotel, a luxury hotel from years back, 
before its demise during the civil wars. (The highest point in Monrovia.)

A gardner cleans ups fallen palm tree fronds - he even sweeps with them.

Goodbye party for Elder & Sister Hezseltine (complete with silly gifts) 



Elder & Sister Allen, Ryan & Shannon Busby, and Elder and Sister Wollenzien all enjoying the last party with the Hezseltine's. (The Busby's are a members who live here, where he works with Chevron. They entertain us and help us with many things. Both are returned missionaries.)

The Hezseltine's leaving their apartment for the last time - and they're off.
These two were on a mission here while it was still part of the Sierra Leone Freetown Mission (about early 2013). They helped open the Liberia Monrovia Mission, and finished their service about a week before the Mission closed due to the Ebola outbreak (about August 2014). They agreed to come back for a time to help us reopen the mission. They were invaluable! We love all our couples.

Elder Bednar and Elder Hallstrom visit Liberia

On Oct. 31, 2015, Elder & Sister Bednar, Elder & Sister Hallstrom, and Elder & Sister Curtis came to Liberia. A film crew came in as well, where they followed and interviewed some of our Elders while they proselyted. This was posted online after the visit, and then a shorter version was shown during Conference sessions in the April 2016 General Conference. Our missionaries were so excited to hear from all of these General Authorities and their wives. Prior to the All-Liberia Conference that they held on Sunday, November 1, 2015, President and Sister Carlson attended Mission President's Training in Ghana. All three General Authorities (along with the other 2 who are counselors in the Africa West Area) spoke with us. Attached are also a few photos from that.
