We as a Mission Presidency take the departing missionaries to the temple, and after have a wonderful meal at the Presidents home. Here the missionaries tell of a special experience they have had while serving their mission. We love this part of the evening. Their testimonies are wonderful. While at the temple one time a temple engineer took us to the tower, up into the dome of the temple, were the bell goes off every hour. We could see out of the windows down to the green fields and the beautiful Mississippi River. What an experience that day; one we will always remember.
The statue of Joseph & Hyrum is special for E/Williams. The VanOrden line of the family states that "Charlie the Horse" was given to Joseph by Peter VanOrden, Charlie is the one he rode to Carthage.
