June 6th - June 12th

Monday, June 6th: we fed Elder Waite & Elder Dickson breakfast. It's Elder Waite's last breakfast because he is being transferred. We will miss him so much! He is going to be a zone leader! Elder Erickson is being transferred too. We were scheduled to teach Bro. Winer but he texted that he was working late. We took a birthday candy bar to Margie Woodard--she didn't answer the door so we left it in a zip lock bag on the door knob. Then we went to see Brother Morgan to give him a birthday candy bar & he ordered us off his property. Took birthday candy bar to Brother Woodruff. Went by Amy Renfroe's & talked to her husband--they are still planning on moving.

Tuesday, June 7th: district meeting in Stockbridge. Each companionship is changing so we took pictures. We took Elders Waite, Dickson, Ericksen & Mende out to eat. When we got back Elder Sadler taught Brother Knight & Huddleston a perspective elder class. Brother Knight is making progress! After that Elder Sadler & Bro. Knight visited Brother Rayburn.

Wednesday, June 8th: had to get the sisters to Fayetteville by 7:00 a.m. because Sister Creech has completed her mission & is going home! She is sweet & we will miss her. Elder Schenk is Elder Dickson's new companion & Sister Curtis (brand new from the MTC) is with Sister Larson. We got Elder Walker back! (In Stockbridge w/Elder Mende)

Thursday, June 9th: we walked this morning. We try to walk every morning unless we have a meeting or have to go somewhere. Elder Sadler worked on membership & the Book of Mormon class. We fed the Elders. Went by the Knight's & the Dotson's but the Dotson's weren't there. Went to Book of Mormon class--had 9 people there! Ann Owens gave the closing prayer & cried. We could tell that she felt the Spirit!

Friday, June 10th: Elder Sadler taught Bro. Huddleston & Knight the last prospective elder's class. Studied & Elder Sadler worked on Book of Mormon class lessons.

Saturday, June 11th: this was a busy day! Elders came over & ate hamburgers with us. Elder Sadler took them & showed them where several of the members live. Elder Sadler then worked on home teaching & worked on list of roster changes for the clerk, Bro. Godwin. I was getting food ready for supper. Just before it was time for Barry & Toni & kids to get here Kim Hard called & wanted me to take her to the ER. Really enjoyed visiting with Barry, Toni, Dylan, Danielle & Dallas. Took Kim home when she was through & Elder Sadler & Barry went over & gave her a blessing.

Sunday, June 12th: Elder Sadler, Dylan & Dallas went to pick up Katie Hall. Barry spoke & Toni played the piano & Danielle sang. We got lots of compliments on them. The missionaries came over & ate with us. We had a great afternoon visiting! After they left, Elder Sadler went to a Priesthood meeting with Brother Jones, Ericksen, Knight & the missionaries.

I wanted to share with y'all what Elder Fia Fia told us about his family. He said that his grandfather wanted to be baptized & his father disowned him. He traveled with some of the saints to SLC & was baptized. He was very happy & in Tongan happy is "Fia Fia" so he changed his last name to Fia Fia! We thought that was an awesome story!
