Some of Our New Friends

President and Sister Shamo live in South London where they preside over about 180 missionaries.  Walt and I actually attended Dixie Jr. College in St. George, Utah in the late 60's with President Shamo.  We've become well acquainted with both of them over the past 6 months.  This photo is from one of the garden areas at Hampton Court.  At this location the "hand picked" scriptorians and theologians met 400 years ago to work on a new translation of the Bible which today we know as the King James Version.

Walt and I spend  some of our preparation days with Jim and Janet Williams from the Missionary Training Center (MTC).  We have the opportunity to visit nearby places of interest.  They are great to travel with.  We also interact with them every 3 weeks when we process in new missionaries.Their missionary assignment is to support and serve with President and Sister Walker full time at the MTC.  They have previously served as Mission President and wife over the Denmark Mission.  Jim is a former head of rheumatology at the U. of U. in Salt Lake City.  Walt appreciates having another physician to talk over health concerns of the missionaries.
