Cooke Family's Arrival


President and Sister Matsumori greeted us at the airport gate, showing us how new missionaries are welcomed into the mission.


Two of our four children are with us now, Elizabeth (13) and Joseph (15).


We are blessed to be in the good care of wonderful APs, Elder Branning on the left and Elder Fisher on the right.

We can't wait to meet your sons and daughters - our new family - in the coming few days!

  6. Our son, Elder Christopher Willis, just entered the MTC on 7/10. He will be arriving 7/23. We have been following your adventures since you were called to this great mission. I've told Elder Willis that there are no coincidences and here your family is. I have very fond memories of Clayton's OLIVER with the most incredible Fagin. Tell Joe "Fagin" hello for me. We wish your entire family a wonderful three years full of fantastic adventures and warm friends. We love you all very much. Lee and Cherie Willis, very proud parents of Elder Christopher Willis

  7. I too am glad you're continuing the blog, it seems I don't know half the missionaries any more, but it's still exciting to see what's happening! Scott, formerly known as Elder Hurd (10-12) Mission father to Elder Lowry and Elder Nielson
