Week of May 28th to June 2nd 2012
We are so excited we will be teaching a wonderful family of 4 on Tuesday June 12th the missonary lessons. This family was a referral from the Bishop, and we have been doing service and getting to know them for a couple of months. The mother has been reading the Book of Mormon and had lots of questions when we visited with her last Tuesday. Please keep us in your prayers that we will be able to be effective teachers. We will also be teaching a member that was less-active but has been coming most Sundays on the same day.
Another exciting event will be this coming Tuesday June 5th, we are taking a couple to the temple in Vernal that have not been for several years, they had been less-active but had started coming back before we got here. We have been doing some service for them and have gotten to know and love them.
What a great oppurtunity this mission has been.
Gary is very excited that we got to go fishing last P-day with a less active family that have been coming to church. He got 5 nice trout. I will post picture next week.
I am excited we are going to take a few days off with permission of course to go to my brothers wedding in Utah this coming week, we are leaving Thursday afternoon and coming back the following Monday. It will be fun to spend sometime with my family and our kids!!

Zone conference Friday May 25th
We had a wonderful conference Friday may 25th, we were well taught by President Maynes. He taught us about desire and how important it is to have desire to be able to teach and help less active back to church. He also taught us how to find new people to teach by using members more effectively.
Gary and I had the assignment to invite 17 people from the Delta and Uncompahgr wards to help with a role play with the missionaries. We were amazed at how willing the members were to help out, there were only a few no's and they D & C 20:37 I will put it in today's news.
37 And again, by way of commandment to the church concerning the manner of baptism—All those who ahumble themselves before God, and desire to be baptized, and come forth with broken hearts and bcontrite spirits, and witness before the church that they have truly repented of all their sins, and are willing to take upon them the cname of Jesus Christ, having a ddetermination to serve him to the end, and truly manifest by their eworks that they have received of the fSpirit of Christ unto the gremission of their sins, shall be received by baptism into his church.
We are still loving the work and appreciate the prayers and letters we have received!!

We had a great experience Wednesday night the Stake President come to the council meeting the previous Sunday and we discussed less active families. Then on Wednesday night we met at the church and they gave every team (10) two families to visit. Everyone came back with positive information about every visit that was made! It was a wonderful experience, I except we will be doing this with the Uncompahger ward.
We had another good week meet with some members that we had not meet before, people are wonderful here.
We are still enjoying are mission!!

Week of May 1st through May 6th
Had a wonderful week meeting lots of new people, we have had a few couples come back to church after a few years a way, it is so good to see them there. Everyone we have meet have been wonderful.
Yesterday we were invited to a picnic by a less active members, non member wife. They were having a neighborhood get together and we were introduced to a lot of great people there.
I love this scripture:
2 Nephi 3: 24
And there shall rise up one mighty among them, who shall do much good, both in word and in deed being an instrument in the hands of God, with exceeding faith, to work mighty wonders, and do that thing which is great in the sight of God, unto the bringing to pass much restoration unto the house of Israel, and unto the seed of thy brethren.
We really want to be instruments in God's hands bringing those who are seeking after Him unto Him.
We truly love this work we have been called to do and know that we are in the right place!

Week of April 3rd through April 8th
We have had wonderful a two months we have now been into homes 26 less-active families and have been warmly welcomed. We love working and serving these wonderful people. We are excited it be instruments in God's hand at this time of our lives. We were invited to have breakfast and dinner with one of those families and they will be coming to church with us this coming Sunday. What a marvelous work this is!
Please remember to always support your local leaders in fellowshiping when you are asked it is so important. Also we have found that some of these folks have not had a home or visiting teacher in a very long time.
When we were at our District leadership meeting last week they suggested that we make pray list and pray for every family every night and I really believe that is working. We ask Heavenly Father to help each of these families in whatever we believe that they need. I believe we are learning to pray in a more meaning full way.
We are thankful for all of your support and prayers!!

Jamie's family came to visit conference weekend. We had a great time listening to conference and doing some site seeing! We went to Black Canyon Saturday afternoon. Then we went to a farm and the kids and KyLee and Jamie fed lambs, (silly me did not take my camera) KyLee put some cute pictures on Facebook. Today we went to Grand Junction and did a little shopping and then went through the Colorado National Monument Park, it was better then the Grand Canyon, it was beautiful!! I will add some pictures.
Week of March 26th through March 30th
Had a great week had some wonderful visits with a lot of the less active members from both wards.
Another picture from our District meeting on Thursday. We love our Elders! They are all hard working, they even decided to bring work clothes in the trunks of their cars in case they run into people who could use service.
We did two service projects on Friday, I love the gardening part! Fun to get out and dig in the dirt!
