Our distict and Elder Holland


This picture is our senior couple's district missionary group: Elders and Sisters Christensen, Jarvis, Parkinson, and Dugal. Really nice people who are eager and ready to serve. We have been studying Preach My Gospel together and doing role-play. Today we gave our first discussion to an investigator (actor). It was fun and nerve-racking at the same time. Tomorrow we give another lesson. We are learning a lot and truly admire those young missionaries. They do a mighty work. Thanks to all of you who have already served. You did a great work. And don't stop. Thi is an eternal work, right!

Last night we had an MTC devotional and Elder Holland was the Speaker! It was powerful, dynamic, emotional and passionate. We came away with a burning in our hearts to do the Lord's work. We will never be the same. He spoke mainly to the young missionaries, but it certainly applied to us. I know he is a phophet of God and I know that we have much work to do and that our full commitment, for not just us, but every member of the church, is to bear witness and testimony of this church and Jesus Christ. All 2600 of us left that devotional hall in silence, and pondering much in our hearts.

In two days we leave for Berlin Germany!!! Can you believe it! I'm really starting to get butterflies. Of course Phil is calm cool and collected as usual, but he is excited. What a great companishsip we have. We are blessed. So the next time we blog it will be in Germany. Auf wiederzein :) Love you all!
