We had the privilege this week of hosting Elder Kevin R. Duncan of the Seventy. We all learned the true meaning of a "Mission Tour." It is not a physical tour of the mission, but rather a chance for Elder Duncan to spiritually tour our missionaries. They came well prepared to learn and practice what they were learning with Elder Duncan.
Above, Elders Jones and Hastings help model what Elder Duncan is teaching.
Below, Elders Bartlett, Alvis, Allred and Turner practice a principle in teaching.
We had all day to learn with Elder Duncan and it was wonderful. The day went all too fast!
We held three days of conferences so that the entire mission could have a day with him.
Our days included wonderful lunches with the stakes that were hosting, singing the
Mission Fight Song...
Celebrating October and November birthdays...
And EATING of course! Wonderful meals by our hosting stakes!
We were fed both physically and spiritually these three days of Mission Tour. Elder Duncan is a very loving and humble man. We felt his great spirit each time we were together and have renewed desire to share the Doctrine of Christ with our brothers and sisters.
It was great to introduce Elder Duncan to our son Braden. Elder Duncan has a 17 year old daughter and 13 year old twin daughters, so he can relate to our wonderful situation of having a child on a mission with us...he has been there and done that in Chile.
We added Elder Duncan to our family of missionaries in the GREAT ARIZONA PHOENIX MISSION! We look forward to implementing the ideas he had for us in how to express the love we have for all children of God through sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Thank you, Sister Taylor, for taking the time to post so many pictures. They mean a lot to us and I am sure they mean a lot to families of many of your missionaries.
We appreciate your time and effort.
