mission weekly report

Hi Gang,  This a shot of some the YSA at family night playing in the Black River behind a members home.  The river runs out of the Adirondack's all the way to Lake Ontario, right through Watertown. As you can see its a good sized river, this is in no way, near the widest part.  They call it the black river because of the dark color caused by the minerals leached out of the slate stone on the bottom.  Actually it is one of the top ten cleanest river in the nation.  It runs just south of our home and we cross it every day several times.  Homes along its banks have great back yards like this one.  We had a really busy week, moved a sister whose husband is deployed  to Post from way up north.  Drove another sister with a deployed spouse to get her stranded car way out East.  Visited several other sisters with deployed spouses.  Had a great turnout for Instituted with two soldiers returning from training to be with the group.  We played the church DVD titled Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled. It is designed by the church specific for soldiers going into combat.  It is great, one soldier who got back early spring was really touched and teared up telling the group how much the church had helped him through the ordeal.  He was a MP and was really messed up upon returning.  A trip to Palmyra straitened him out and got him back on the path.  He has been on of our stalwarts. It is great just to be a small part of all this.  Mom and Dad  (keep the cards and Letters coming)
