Mission 9/9.08


This is a picture of a bunch of us at the Smith farmhouse in Palmyra.  We took some young adults down on Saturday.  Four of the soldiers had never been there and they loved it.  We had a great day because we were just about the only ones there.  The sacred grove was beautiful. It was peaceful and calm.  We have had several new soldiers show up lately on their own.  We feel like it's an answer to prayers.  On Monday we cooked a dinner for them for family night, so its been a busy week.  We also had Zone Conference this week in Utica.  We have now visited and helped almost every family of the deployed soldiers.  In a couple of months they all will come home and a new group deploys and we will start all over again.  How about the Capone sign, only in NY could this be for real.  Check what he's running for, is that a joke? These signs are all over the place, the news and everything with no explanation. I guess no one has made the connection. I was at the opening priesthood meeting on Sunday at Carthage, the bishop asked for a rise of hands of those who were deploying, 3/4 of the hands went up it was shocking to me.  Can you imagine what the impact on your ward would be, if 3/4 of the priesthood were leaving in 2 to 3 months?  It should be interesting to see how the Lord fills the void.  We love and miss you all and pray for you.  Keep the faith.  Mom and Dad
