Jim & Jolene Paxman in Nauvoo

FAREWELL   Sunday March 18, 2018 Today was our farewell and, to be honest, I'm glad that it is over.  I always find it hard to speak in public and yet I know that the "public" consisted of people that are family and loved ones.  Being able to express emotion without getting emotional is the challenge for me.  We both appreciated all those who took time out of their busy Sabbath day to share in ours.  We now are on the homeward stretch in our mission preparations and it is getting more "real" with each passing day !  Let me express our love for each of you and your support to us in this new chapter of our lives

Jim and I received our mission call and we will be serving in Nauvoo, Illinois. We report into the MTC on April 9, 2018. We are very excited to serve the Lord for the next 18 months. This is where I will be putting our weekly letters so you can keep up with us!
