Ian left the MTC on 30 July. We received a letter and some photos from the mission home the following day.

Here is Elder Clifford with President and Sister Pilkington and his new companion/trainer Elder Innes. They are assigned to the Pontefract 1.1 district. Pontefract is in West Yorkshire and has a deep and long history. While the name Pontefract doesn't appear in the Domesday Book, it is mentioned a few years later. The castle (now in ruins) at Pontefract was the site of the death of King Richard II after he was deposed by Bollingbrook in 1399. The castle was attacked several times during the interregnum by Cromwell's cronies. Pontefract was a site of royalist supporters. The castle was pulled down in 1649. The ruins are still visible.
