Tuesday, April 26th: We had a district meeting today & fed the missionaries afterward. Took Brother Knight’s heating pad back to him & bought one. Sister Wicklund called & had some co op food for us & the Cockram’s so we got it & delivered food to the Cockram’s. We also visited the Huddleston’s and E. Sadler worked on notes for the Book of Mormon class while I studied the scriptures.
Our last district meeting with Elder Walker who will be transferred tomorrow. Transfers are hard!
Wednesday, April 27th: Well, today is transfer day & Elder Walker is being transferred so we took him to the transfer meeting. I will miss him so much! He has been here for about five months. Our new missionary is Elder Dixon. I went with E. Sadler to do home teaching afterward. We visited with Brother Stafford, went by Tiffany Brooks’ home but she wasn’t there so we talked with her husband for a little bit & left the h.t. message for her. We went to see Fay Peder but she wasn’t home either so we left the h.t. message with her grandfather. Later we taught Tammy the second lesson. Her mom, Sister Cockram & her sister, Debbie who are both members sat in on the lesson. it went well.
Thursday, April 28th: Today Brendan is a year old! I send him a birthday card. He is such a cute little boy! I made banana bread today. Gave some to the missionaries and took the rest to the Book of Mormon class. We had seven people there including us which is a pretty good attendance! Afterward we went to pick up co op food & it was a lot of food. We stored the Cockram’s at the church & in the refrigerator there b/c it was too late to take it after class.
Friday, April 29th: We took a ton of food to the Cockram’s (that was from the Wicklund’s). E. Sadler had a bad headache so we rested the rest of the day.
Saturday, April 30th: The missionaries went with E. Sadler to a service project through the Red Cross. They gave away & installed smoke detectors.
Sunday, May 1st: Melissa, Kevin, Nathan, Kaitlyn & Hailey came to church with us & spent the day. We really enjoyed their visit! E. Sadler gave Brother Price and Saundra & family rides to church—he had to make two trips to get them all there. The missionaries ate lunch with all of us afterward. After they went home we visited with the Huddleston's & saw their new baby goat!
I wanted to share with y'all part of Elder Eyring's talk from conference: ...the first thing you must commit to is to go & serve, knowing that you do not go alone. ...The second thing you must do is remember the Lord as you go in service for Him. The Lord not only goes before our faces and sends angels to serve with us , but He also FEELS THE COMFORT we give others AS IF WE HAD GIVEN IT TO HIM.
I would like to close with a quote from President David O. McKay: “Every member…a missionary! True Christianity is love in action. There is no better way to manifest love for God than to show an unselfish love for your fellow man. This is the spirit of missionary work."
