Funeral for Sister Steel

We've seen pictures of her since they were in the MTC. And now she's going home to Colorado.

When missionaries get into the mission, we call it being born. Their trainer is their parent, and the senior missionary of opposite gender in the district is the other parent. Then, when you go home, it's called dying. so usually at the last meeting we'll hold a funeral for them, as we did with sister steele! It was a time to be remembered.

Just Pictures

A funny accidental picture taken from my desk.

I made dinner for my favorite chinese missionary, Elder Tam!!


pyi (pronounced like the letter "p") our recent convert fed us a Burmese feast.

From Elder Nolan

When your kid is on their mission, you hope they're being a good example as a representative of the Church and a disciple of Christ. You also hope that the people who associate with him, like him.

This is the email that Kelly got this week. Its from a missionary who's been out only 5 weeks.  

hey, so I have a good missionary friend next to me named Elder Nolan, I said that I didn't have a story to tell about this week so he volunteered to write for me!

This guy, your brother, my friend, my zone leader, my inspiration. You should know that Elder Larsen inspires missionaries to do work on the daily. This man studies the scriptures whilst he exercises in the park whilst finding people to teach. He has the most wonderful face ive ever seen and If I had the ability I would right a comic book about his missionary efforts. He'd have a cape though. Either a green or peach coloured cape. With tassels. And glitter. We sing songs together which makes my soul smile. You have a great brother, and he'll be even better when he gets back. Hugs and handshakes, Elder Nolan =D

New Members

The Church is growing by leaps and bounds! The Spanish missionaries in our ward have had such great success bringing new members to the truth. It's great to hear that Harry is also experiencing such success in England.

yeah we've had a pretty sweet time as of late. this weekend we had TWO baptisms!!!! Ayan and Min, man, these kids are so cool. Ayan is 17 and Min is 16.


Ayan is from Somalia and couldn't get her parents to sign her baptismal form for about a year, but this weekend it all happened!


and Min is our other recent convert's brother. Pyi's brother. and man, he's so cool, and so knowledgeable, it's crazy. and he plays basketball, HARD. he's my little, big bro. and yeah, we're having a good time :D

I'm really proud of my missionary. But more than that, I'm so happy for all the new members who are about to learn the gospel and get to know our savior in a more personal way.

D&C 4:4
4 For behold the field is white already to harvest; and lo, he that thrusteth in his sickle with his might, the same layeth up in store that he perisheth not, but bringeth salvation to his soul;
