Senior Missionary Retreat

On June 19th and 20th 2009, we had a Senior Missionary Retreat in the Great Kentucky Louisville Mission (GKLM).

On Friday evening we all went to the Mission Home and had a very nice dinner followed by a testimony meeting. The highlight of the evening for me was finding out what all of the missionaries do. One couple works at Ft. Knox as military liaisons to the personnel posted there. Another couple actually spends all of their time photographing old court records in the various towns, cities and burgs of Indiana. Three copies are made of each record. One goes in the mountain vault, one goes on line and one goes back to the State of Indiana.

Two or three of the couples are stationed in the smaller branches and just help out with branch callings while also engaging in missionary labors.

Then there are those of us who serve in the office as Media, referral, Housing, Medical, Vehicle, Financial Coordinators and the Mission secretary who holds it all together.

On Saturday we boarded the Belle of Louisville steam powered stern wheeler for a lunch cruise up the Ohio River.




Sister Partridge actually was a little fascinated with the steam engine that is over a hundred years old.






The food was pretty good and the over all cruise was really quite enjoyable.
