There was large attendance at the various musical programs hosted by the Independence Visitor's Center.


A dinner was sponsored for all the full-time missionaries in the Independence Missouri Stake of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.


The Sister Missionaries who serve at the Independence Visitor's Center are very musically talented.  They performed both chorale arrangements and played hand bells.
