We flew into Fresno on Monday, June 30, 2014 to begin our service as President and Wife of the California Fresno Mission. In the MTC we were told that there can only be one mission president, so when you walk off that plane the mantle will be yours (President's). President Gelwix related to us that when he saw us he could physically feel the mantle leaving him. At that same time, President Clark felt the mantle settle on him. To him it was a spiritual as well as a physical change. We appreciate the Gelwix's leadership as they have encouraged the missionaries to pray for us by name for over five months. We have felt their prayers and were very prepared to receive each other.

The mission office Staff was standing in a line in the foyer waiting to greet us. They are wonderful, we are so grateful for their love and support. They literally run the mission!
