Mormon missionaries from left, Elder Caleb Johnson, Sister Brittney Breinholt, Elder Logan Schmidt and Sister Tara Reese. The young missionaries rarely ride their traditional bicylces they said, but depend on them more in certain locations and when their montly car mileage gets close to its limits. They also call each other by the more formal “Elder” and “Sister,” even among themselves, they said. - photo by NAT GURLEY
Sister Tara Reese, 20, and her companion, Sister Britteny Breinholt, 19, ride their bicycles six miles each day around the neighborhoods in the Oakwood area attempting to share the gospel with people they meet. The sister missionaries of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints are new to the area. Reese, a trainer, recently opened the Oakwood area up for other incoming sister missionaries.
