A New Mission President starts out with a BOO!

-

 Week of June 30 - July 6

New Mission President brings a new feeling around the office. 

The AP's came as usual to their meeting with President.  He walked out of his office and shouted "BOO" at the AP''s!  We all jumped and then had a good laugh.  He is fun and light hearted and extremely spiritual.  He's a hugger, very grateful for all you do and concerned that you aren't running faster than you can go.

At Staff Meeting Sister Beecher suggested that we should start each day with a prayer.  That has already strengthened our relationships in the office.  We spend a few minutes talking and sharing what we  are doing for the day and then anyone that has had a miracle or tender mercy shares that and we have prayer.  I love the feeling it gives our office.

This week Dan replaced a washer that ended up not needing to be replaced.  It was the faucet into the wall that needed replacement. Said Good-bye to the Mott's, a Senior couple working in the Family Search Library and organized the Storage Unit, again.  

Friday was the 4th of July!!  We invited the whole office staff over for dinner.  There was 12 of us, President and Sister Beecher even came.  We had such a fun time.  President had us either laughing or crying through the whole evening.  He shared with us about getting their call and some sweet experiences that their daughter had in helping her know the call came for the Lord.  







Saturday we went to Springfield a 2 hour drive, but this time it was for fun!!  We went to the Lincoln Museum and his house and the neighborhood he raised his family in.  It was really fun to learn more about Lincoln and how he felt what he was doing was a divine calling.  Such a fun day

 The week of June 16 - June 22 Transfer week.  We picked up these sweet sisters at the Hotel to take them to the airport to go home.  We were taking 4 of the sisters early and then come back for 3 others later.  They were having breakfast when we got there we let them finish and then I said, "Okay, it's time to go."  They hugged each other over and over again.  Then they did one big group hug and when I walked over to them, they were praying together right there in the hotel breakfast room.  It was the sweetest thing.  A few tears and we were off to the airport. The Dodges came, a senior couple working at the Family History Library and Sister Cannon came, a single senior sister working in the office.   Friday we went back to Hillsboro to finish us the  apartment.  I was not looking forward to cleaning it.  It has felt so dirty and gross when we were there last week, I didn't want to do it.  Right before we left I rem...

The Mission Call

We got notification of our mission call as I was getting on a plane to Utah to visit two of my High School girl friends.  I was so excited!! But ... I really wanted to be with Dan when we opened our letter, so we decided to wait till I got home in 3 days to open it.  It was all planned and the kids were ready to Zoom and watch us open it when my flight got delayed for three hours.  That put me home around 11:00pm.  So we went with play B and set it up for the next morning.  All the kids were on line as we opened our up mission call. WE ARE HEADED TO  THE MISSOURI, ST. LOUIS MISSION!! Stay tuned for great adventures to come!

Week of May 19 - 25 Zone Conference Week. I was called on to share my Hymn testimony at Zone Conference.  A Hymn testimony is a your testimony using only lines from the Hymn's.  It was actually harder to do than I thought it would be.  But here's mine. There is Sunshine in my Soul today for I am a Child of God I know my father lives and loves me too. My heart shall triumph in my Lord I know that my redeemer Lives I stand all amazed at the Love Jesus offers me Once all things He meekly bore I tremble to know that for me He was crucified He has risen Christ has won the victor I'll worship Him with all my might For Jesus is my Light Precious Savior, Dear Redeemer I need thee every hour Constant He is and kind for one brief moment heavens vies  Appears before my gaze My Savior to my aid will come Until at the glorious throng I kneel at His feet Praying daily in our homes God hears my secret prayers We'll feel His Love divine Leading to our home in heaven Where we want to...
