The field is white already to harvest.....

Stan made the comment this week that has given me much to ponder.

"If we harvested our wheat

like we harvest people for the Lord's Kingdom

we would only get one kernel at a time."

Before we came here, by here I mean Deland...

we always supported missionary work...

we even dabbled in it at home and while we worked in the office.

BUT!

Now that we are actually trying to harvest...

We find it so rewarding...

along with tiring...

frustrating...

heartbreaking...

and sometimes discouraging.

We need the members to fellowship...

to find people to teach...

to get out of themselves and look more to the Lord's Kingdom.

We have so many who help...

Yet there are more that don't think they have time....

Monday was our Preparation day but were able to give service to an investigator.

It was a very pleasant day...

That service spilled over to Tuesday when she needed a ride to where she was moving to.

She had a neighbor who packed her things in his truck and took them to Port Orange...

But she and her dog needed a ride.

 

 Yes that is a dog in our car....

 It was a beautiful day and ride.

 Sorry I just got Karen...Pebbles was being funny....

District Meeting...

The last week of this transfer...

So we took pictures....

Just in case someone was transferred next week. 

 Elder Harrington Sister McClaine, Elder Squires Cooper Haack Day Sister Barlow Elder Cook and the 'ol senior couple.


We do a lot of work together...
They help us...
We help them.

Elder Haack Campbell and Harrington taking a break between teaching appointments.

Planning for the next appointment.

Conference...

 This is always such a monumental time in life.

Just think...

It is a time when we can be taught and trained by the Prophet himself...

as well as the 12 apostles...

and those called to help and serve.

What a privilege.

To be able to receive answers to our prayers...

Revelation for ourselves...

Who among us doesn't need that?

How many could use that opportunity?

Once again I do not have words to express gratitude...

for the words and counsel given.

So much has been said.

I could summarize...

But what I heard may not be what you heard and needed.

Humility is the only feeling I can express.

Break between Saturday Conference...

They had dinner appointments at members homes Sunday.
Elder Campbell Squires Cooper Haack and Harrington.
What wonderful young men...
They each talked about their impressions and emotions.
Humbling once again.

...Therefore,
O ye that embark in the service of God, 
see that ye serve him with all your heart, might, mind and strength, 
that ye may stand blameless before God at the last day... 

The field IS white ready to harvest;

and lo,
he that thrusteth in his sickle with his might,
the same layeth up in store that he perisheth not, 
but, 
bringeth salvation to his soul.....
