People ask us all the time, "So, how's Dr. Barry doing?"
If he were present and able to answer that question I believe he would say, "I'm doing great! And I LOVE missionary work!"
They have been in the Jacksonville, Florida mission since June 28th, 2010. Since arriving in Jacksonville they have experienced culture shock, amazing miracles, tremendous insects, amazing miracles, high humidity, amazing miracles, an errant alligator, amazing miracles, and many, many hungry missionaries. Oh, and did I forget to mention amazing miracles? They know that they are in the right place and that they have been called by the Lord to serve the missionaries in the Jacksonville, Florida mission. They have been through every possible emotion and have come to see and feel as if each of these missionaries were their own child. They are dedicated Mission Presidents and are serving with diligence, wisdom, and love.
Their mission has a mission blog that anyone is welcome to visit. The blog is meant for the parents and families of current missionaries, but there are many photos on there of President and Sister Barry as well. The link is below.

Know that they love what they are doing and love and miss all of their family and friends they left here in Utah. Their projected release date is July 2013. Dr. Barry plans to return to our practice and continue practicing as long as the Lord will allow him to. We anticipate his return and what the future may bring for him.
