I served from Oct 1991 to Oct 1993. It was a fantastic experience, one that shaped the rest of my life forever. Terry R. Clegg was an inspiration in many ways to me, especially from the stand point of faith to believe at that time.
Most of the photos here were taken by me or submitted by other former EMM return missionaries. I have tried to list them where possible.
I maintain the current site (Now moved to this Thread). If you have pictures and / or stories to share please Reply. Some photos: Elder Borde - England Manchester Mission 91-93

ON A MISSION

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa - David Hansen recently learned he would be serving a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Preston, England. Hansen will become one of 53,000 missionaries serving in more than 370 missions throughout the world. His parents, Kent and Paula Hansen, will be two others. They leave June 1 for a mission to Estonia, Lithuania, and Latvia.
JB: The 'Ugly House', a house made of jagged stones in Wales it is very curious to look at.

Did you know that Pres. Hinckley once proselyted amongst the people in the area of what is now the England Manchester Mission? During my time there I was made to understand that he would call to find out how many baptisms took place in Preston, England.
QUOTE About the 'M'...
By Bryan J. Grant, All About Mormons
"THE CHURCH of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-day Saints came to the British Isles when seven LDS missionaries landed at Liverpool, England, on July 19, 1837. The success of this first mission (More than 1,500 converts by April 1839) set the stage for the even more successful apostolic mission of 1839-1841, which saw nine of the eleven apostles (The twelfth place was vacant at the time) serving as missionaries in England under the direction of Brigham Young. The Church grew rapidly in Great Britain among the working classes of the Northwest, the Midlands, and, especially, Wales. Membership counts at the end of 1851 showed 33,000 members of the Church in the United Kingdom and Ireland and 12,000 in Utah.
Although total membership in the British Isles declined after the mid-1850s due to emigration and attrition, substantial additions through baptisms continued through the 1860s. From 1870 to the mid-1950s, the Church did not experience sustained growth in the United Kingdom and Ireland. But the dedication of the London Temple (In Lingfield, Surrey) in September 1958 and the creation of the Manchester England Stake on March 27, 1970, initiated a second growth phase of membership; by 1990 the Church had more than 160,000 members in 9 missions, 40 stakes, and more than 330 wards and branches in the British Isles. The strength of the Church in the United Kingdom and Ireland in 1990 is indicated by the number of stakes: thirty-two in England, five in Scotland, two in Wales, and one in Northern Ireland. Branches (Congregations) in the Republic of Ireland, whose members are not as numerous as in other areas, are under the jurisdiction of mission districts rather than a stake.
When the missionaries first arrived in the British Isles, they went to Preston, England, where Joseph Fielding's brother, Rev. James Fielding, had invited him and his missionary companions to preach at his Vauxhall Chapel. James's enthusiasm waned when it became apparent that he risked losing his congregation, and he promptly closed the chapel to the missionaries. They then taught in private homes, and a week later baptized the first nine British converts in the river Ribble, at Preston. By Sunday, August 6, there were nearly fifty converts in Preston, and Elder Heber C. Kimball organized the Preston Branch. In two months, membership had reached 140, and the original branch was divided into five separate branches in October. Missionary work was extended to Bedford, and to Alston, near the Scottish border, where the missionaries had relatives. Elder Kimball preached in the villages of the Ribble Valley."
On Christmas Day of 1837, the members met for the first conference in Britain, and on Sunday, April 8, 1838, another conference held in the Cockpit, Preston, drew down the curtain on the first phase of Mormon missionary work in Britain. There were 1,500-2,000 British members of the Church, and the leadership was transferred to Joseph Fielding as elders Kimball and Orson Hyde set sail for America.
