Marks Mission Reunion - April 29th 2017

Elder & Sister Crowther (Marks Mission President and his wife) with us.

 

 

Mark served his mission for the church about 17 years ago. He was in the Ireland/Dublin mission. He served in the following areas:

• Belfast
• Dublin City Centre
• Bray
• Coleraine
• Cork
• Antrim

(Hopefully I've spelt them correctly)

 

He served from January 1999 to January 2001



 

The mission is now known as the Ireland/Scotland mission.

 

 We travelled down to Leicester for a reunion with his mission peers and it was lovely to get to meet his mission president and his wife. Mark often refers to them as his mission parents so it was great to finally put faces to names.

 

It was also quite interesting hearing stories about Mark from some of his mission peers and getting a little bit more insight into his mission. I didn't know Mark back then as when he returned with honour at the age of 22, I was a 16 year old probably causing my parents a little bit of stress. lol and living in a completely different stake.

There were a few people there that I knew from back in the day but then again in the church they do say that its a small world and to be honest, its very rare yo go to an event in the church and don't know somebody.

 

Mark really enjoyed seeing everyone again, even the ones he didn't really get on with on his mission. Its amazing what growing up and having families does to you.

 

It was a lovely day.
