Former New Zealand Missionaries
Elder Michael Farrer, from Springville, Utah, and Elder Truman Leishman served on missions in New Zealand at the same time in the mid-1960s. They were Zone Leaders of different mission zones at the same time. They have had a good time reliving those "good ole' days". Elder Farrer is a counselor to Pres. Robison, our Mission President. Elder and Sister Farrer will be going home in November after serving 23 months in the West Indies Mission.
Gopaul Family
Brother Gopaul is the Branch President of the Chaguanas branch. We spent an afternoon on Transfer Day, Oct. 15th, driving Elders LeBaron and Richards around in Chaguanas so they could introduce us to people in our new branch and so they could say good-bye since they were leaving for home after completing their missions. Elder Endeman, far right, is one of our elders staying in Chaguanas.

Sunday Dinner with our new family

Burger anyone?
This is your typical burger place and since there is a Burger King in town, I'm pretty sure I won't be stopping here any time soon.
1st Baptismal Service
Pictured is Brother Mohan, his two daughters and a neice. On our 2nd night in Trinidad we attended the baptism of Sister Mohan who was baptized by her husband. We never did get Sister Mohan isolated from the crowd to take a picture.
BIG AVOCADO
Our first meal in Trinidad was at the home of mission office couple Brother and Sister Coleman. Sister Coleman presented us with an avocado that was the biggest one I have ever seen. And it was good!
Chaguanas, Trinidad
We will be serving in the city of Chaguanas. It is located south east of Port of Spain.

General Conference Oct. 2008
We attended two sessions of conference before going into the MTC. In the picture with us are our son, David, and his wife, Marilla, and their two boys, David Jr. (5) and Joey (3).
A Visit to the MTC
Our daughter, Julie, and our daughter-in-law, Marilla, brought their children to the MTC at lunchtime on Friday to visit their grandparents, the missionaries. Pictured are (L - R) Jai Barfuss, David Jr. Leishman, Zane and Abby Barfuss, Joey Leishman, Madison Barfuss
