21 April 2014 How Great Reason Have We To Rejoice? Dear Family & Friends, It is with great joy and excitement, we share our call to serve the Lord from the Prophet Thomas S Monson, for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, in the New York New York South Mission. Our assignment is to the British Territory of Bermuda. We begin our 23-month mission Monday, 5 May 2014, at the Missionary Training Center at Provo, Utah. Since our return to the US from our mission to the Philippines Tacloban Mission on 27 December 2013, we enjoyed being with our family whom we greatly missed. We gathered as often as we could to celebrate our homecoming, a belated Christmas, and a needed visit to see Elder Maxfield’s mom who was ailing. On New Year’s Day a group of us traveled to Richland, Washington to visit and stay with Phil’s mom, Irene Maxfield. Fondly known as “grandma with the white hair”, she seemed to get a boost of energy as she enjoyed the antics of the great-great grandchildren playing with her childhood toys. Five days later, she passed quietly away, and we and her great posterity honored her at her funeral, January 11, 2014. We have greatly enjoyed renewing friendships, and being welcomed and loved; the hospitality of our children and a place to lay our wee heads at night; visiting and playing with grandchildren; spring cleaning homes and gardens; sharing our experiences as missionaries in the Philippines and our testimonies of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The memories that have been made will forever remain precious to us. How glorious it is to love and be loved! We have been called to be leader and member support missionaries. We will do our best to strengthen the Saints of Bermuda, and to invite others to come unto Christ. Please write and let us know how you and your loved ones are this beautiful time of year. We love you! The Maxfields, aka Phillip and Clipper
