The Lord blesses those who strive to do his will!! Preparation day was boring. We actually had a good evening because we worked as we have been asked to. We met May McQueen tonight and taught her a great first discussion. We are going back tomorrow. We taught the fourth to Cody (her real name…

Last night Elder Barton went into the hospital for what turned out to be a bad asthma attack. Elder Nelson was assigned to be in a threesome with Elder Baird and I. At 2:54 AM we got a call from Elder Barton. Nice way to wake up. But at least the news wasn’t too bad.…

Today was Zone Conference. We had one appointment before, but she tubed us. We had a great time riding in the AP’s van on the couch and chairs for the other elders’ apartment. Zone Conference is an experience that I would like to repeat occasionally. Lucky for me I can. We had a great dinner…

What an awesome day. We went with Sister Dunkle and taught Mark a first discussion. It went OK. We only got part of it done. We taught Cody the third discussion. She is ready for baptism and is really waiting for Mike to be able to baptize her. We came home and then saw Tom…

Today was slow. We had very little planned. Most of the day was spent reading. We had a little tracting with a few callbacks. Then we had a great discussion with Cody. She has come around between our visits. I will show that I understand the purpose of missionary work by loving the people. I…
