Hello
Family,
Sounds
like you had a great week and that you had a lot of exciting things happen. Mom
working on a new quilt, dad at work, Emma dating and going to work. You are all
very busy! I hope that you aren't all turning into zombies that do the
somethings over and over. I guess I can't say anything my life probably changes
less then yours what with the mission schedule. Ah life is life and we do what
we have to.
This
week was a good one as we were challenged by the President Daines to focus on
finding as many people as we can and teaching lessons and extending baptism
extensions. So we worked very hard on the goals that we set for our selves in
those categories and strived so hard to achieve them. We however came up short
but we worked very hard and we were very tired this last week. I had a lot of
fun with this as we were knocking doors several hours a day as it gave Elder
Anderson and I time talk.
Something
that is cool that happened is that we learned about how this area is starting
to get involved in a church program called Just Serve. It is a cool service
program that will give us the opportunity to serve those who live in the areas
we serve. It will give people a chance to see a different side of members. It
will also give us missionaries another focus and to do service every day and to
just be our selves. The told us that while we are out we are not to teach or to
try and contact people but to just work and answer questions about the church
if we are asked. The main focus is to make friends and if they are interested
we set appointments to meet them at there homes.
Anyway
that was our week and I am very excited to see how this new program will change
how the church is viewed in this area. I think that it will open a lot of doors
and let people see that we are normal people that care about our communities. I
home that you have a good week and that you are all safe. Also take a look at
just serve and see if you can serve in some way in Forest Grove or surrounding
towns. Love you all and hope you know that I think about you a lot. Stay safe!
Love
Elder
Young
