SUCH A PRIVILEGE

There is so much that doesn't get captured on camera.
It is always fun when 'I remember' or it is appropriate.
Elder Campbell went with the missionaries a couple of times and I was able to be with them one night.
Being with and watching these guys work is amazing.
They have so much love for these people.
They work through the spirit only.
We will never be the same for being in their presence.
What a privilege.
I am still cutting hair and mending preparing soup and meals...
this is something that never changes.
There are still reports and vehicle up keep
I am blown away at the work it takes to maintain 50+ vehicles.
Plus the bikes that need repaired, gathered up, put together moved and did I say repairs?
Stan works very hard.
I am along for the ride.
AND
What a ride it is.

Do you remember that very ugly tower I asked everyone to name?
l
It is coming down.
As bad as it looks..
It has personality..
It is a land mark..
A bird perch....


He will do anything for a little more shade.
(the shirt is his fathers day present, he looks so nice in it)


These were in the fuel reports.
Is bribery legal?
 Sister Gervais makes postcards from her pictures.


Always art on the back of vehicle and Baptism reports.


Dinner at the Macaroni Grill
Elder Bennett and Engemann
Our Hunters Creek Zone Leaders.


 Elder Bennett is now 21

(No I haven't gained weight...it is my balloon dress)
 After the birthday dinner we went with the Zone Leaders to visit two less active sisters.
I have made a full account in my journal because I don't want to put personal information on the blog.
But I will say that this was a very spiritual experience.
Why are we so blessed to be here?
What a privilege it is. 
(wait I think I have already said that)

 
Saturday morning we had Mission Correlation meeting.
A good move because we have been holding it after church on Sunday and Brother Creevan couldn't take it to Ward Council till the next Sunday Morning. This way he can take our missionary business to ward council the next morning.  We have east and west missionaries in our meeting.
After that the west Elders talked us in to Taco Bell.
I can't believe how hard that food is to digest.
In the after noon Andy was baptized. 
Elder Valgardson Shelley Andy (14) and Brandenburg.
(These are the missionaries that talked us into eating at Taco Bell)

The baptism of this wonderful 14 year old boy was amazing.
These missionaries had the young men give the talks and prayers.
Sebastian baptized last September talked about baptism
and Piero did the Holy Ghost.
These were all 13-14 year old boys.
It was pure inspiration.  


The greatest good we can do in helping others become what they can become...
will be to lead them to the Savior.
