Our group of friends......

Two of the couples will be leaving in the next couple of weeks so we had a good bye dinner at "Bahama Breeze".

This is Sis Bean, Dalling, Call, Kynaston, Black and Holdstock along with "Flat Stanley". The Calls have been showing him around Florida before they leave.

The Beans, Blacks and Calls live in Salt Lake, Kaysville and Ogden so we should be seeing them after our mission. The Calls and Beans have only been married about 3 years each.

Tall and small......

Here are some of the Elders after working at the park on our Day of Service for the Southeast United States stakes and wards. We cleaned up a park in our area, made a new fire pit, built and repaired picnic tables and donated blood and food. Here is a picture of Elder Bachynski and Sister Holdstock. He is 7 ft 2 in. Louisiana Tech sends him at least 2-3 letters per week trying to get him to go there when he gets home from his mission.

Phone numbers coming out my ears.....

I found out today that I will be checking the cell phone bill each month to make sure that the Elders are not calling out of their area or home, etc. There are over 72,000 calls that I will have to monitor for the month of March. Please pray for me.

Another success....

I just received a post card today from a man in the Florida Keys saying thanks for the B of M I sent. He said the reading is very powerful and wants a Pearl of Great Price now and the missionaries to come. He had requested the B of M in October and it was never delivered. I found the request when I pulled up all of the old requests to check on them.

A colorful ward.........

The bishop announced today that the ward missionary effort yesterday (knocking on doors in a designated neighborhood for 2 hours) had resulted in 43 referrals. There were 16 ward members and missionaries involved in the effort. Next month he wants to double it. We have such a diversified ward. I was asking a Polynesian brother today if he knew where Brother Brown was. He said, “The black Brother Brown or the White Brother Brown or do you want the white Brother Black?” We both laughed.
