What an awesome day. It was really cold. I had a hard time making myself go out. We stayed inside while we could and got some appointments set. We did teach 2 good first discussions. In the middle of the day I said a prayer that I wouldn’t mind the cold, and from that moment…

P-day. Jim Jarvis took our district out to the Garden of the Gods. It is outside mission boundaries. We had a great day hiking. After we got back we had an appointment with William Wyatt. He is 9 and was previously committed to be baptized but he wanted his dad to do it and his…

Sunday. Quite a bit like a regular Sunday at home. Then we got busy. I organized the area book and now it is my responsibility. We then went and contacted the referral that Elder Nelson gave us on Wednesday Thursday. Her name is Sherry and she as great. She let us right in and we…

We did real work today. We taught 2 partial firsts, met the old Ward Mission Leaders and discussed some prospective referrals. Great people. We placed one Book of Mormon too. I am totally used to my bike. I need to get to know the city. Jim Jarvis took us to breakfast as part of his…

I went tracting with my District Leader and got 2 referrals in 40 minutes. I went shopping for food too. Tiring. We taught 1 first discussion. Tracting by inspiration…

I didn’t mention yesterday that I rode in the car next to Sister Guild from the airport to the mission office and from the mission office to the mission home. I rode with her today from the mission home to transfers. I also talked with her at breakfast. She is going to Columbia District. I…

Wow, what a day. Elder Hall had talked about making seat assignments on the plane; his loss. I ended up sitting very near to Sister Guild. (Gīald) I did all of the helping her with her luggage. Also at dinner I spent a lot of time talking with her. She’s a really neat sister from…

Well, the day is here. Tomorrow we leave for St. Louis at 5:30 am. I’m going to miss my friends here a lot. It has been a great experience, although I would probably not ask to do it again. Well onward and upward as I ought to say. I want to write about Sister Collier.…

What a great day. I need to do more singing than I have been doing. I have again learned humility. I hope that I keep that lesson with me. Sister Ward taught our class tonight. She had me teach her the 6th New Member Discussion. I love Sister Ward! Sister Ward gave me her home…

What a day. In TeleCenter today I got two referrals. One of those was my last call. She (my referral) was great. The fireside was awesome. The class afterwards was great. I started a personal covenant with the Savior in class. I expect to add to it as time progresses. One day I’ll write it…
