Our Mission

OK, first of all, I'm sad that I'm not getting many memories...if you see this, go down one and give me a memory. I'm needy!

This is David beating up a missionary. Good start, huh?

David and I have just embarked on a 2 year part-time mission. We are in what they call the Spanish Initiative. We are assigned to a ward, and go to it every Sunday. We also will be proselyting missionaries, and will be teaching some English. So far, we don't have a clue as to what exactly we are supposed to do, but are hoping to learn. On Saturday, we went to our first activity, Mini Olympics for the primary. We helped with games for the kids. It was fun, and we got to know some of the people a little. This week, there is a ward campout...and David is willing to go!!!! Most of the kids speak English, but a lot of the adults don't. This Sunday, we sat next to a young man in the Gospel Essentials class, and he interpreted for us. It was very cool, he was an investigator, and knew nothing about our religion. He would say something in English, and I could feel that he was learning as he was talking. The spirit was very strong. I could tell that he wanted to be there. We are hoping for more great missionary moments!


Here are some of the cute kids!

We're in a branch in Detroit, and we have some part timers like you who help us teach primary and other stuff. We love it! So thanks for doing your part. I bet you'll love it and be really good at it.
