A ROYAL WEEK

Hey Everyone,


This past week our entire mission attended a Kansas City Royals baseball game. It was quite the experience and we had a great time. $1.00 hot dogs, royal blue ties for the Elders, and a party bus to take us there and back. I'm sure our elderly bus driver loved listening to "Peace in Christ" over and over as we traveled to the ball field. Fun times. 


Elder Midgley and I are keeping the ball rolling here in the Woodland Ward. We are using a new technique to teach the ward members how to find on Facebook. Seems like a good plan and we need all the referrals we can get. 


We found three new investigators. A mom and her two adult daughters, who seem elect and are asking all of the right questions. LYDIA, FAITH, and FRANCIS all have a copy of the Book of Mormon and a great lesson behind them. FRANK was too busy for us this week, and we found EUGENE but he is 17 and we need parental permission before we teach him further.  AUGUST ghosted us this week. We will give him another couple of chances. 


Lots of service hours were spent at Brother Hull's home digging trenches for his sprinkler system this week. We were able to help him pull up big rocks using a pick ax. My body felt that type of hard labor for a few days following our work.

Serving my mission in the United States has been a blessing and I am grateful for the assignment that the Lord gave me.  Our trio is going strong, Elders Fleming, Gillman and I continue to work hard and are actually having a blast serving together. I have enjoyed our time together and having a third companion is really a blessing this time around because we each get along very well.  My leadership responsibilities this transfer have been a great blessing. I have enjoyed the extra work and interaction with each member of the district. This week we had president interviews and it was certainly an adjustment to sit with President Sommerfeldt vs. President Ames. Each man is so different, yet both so amazing.  President Sommerfeldt asked our mission to come to interviews as a district and to sit a...
