We are having the most incredible time learning how to be and growing in our call as missionaries. We have made some amazing friends with people from all over the place-going to places all over the world! The work of salvation is happening as we work to gather Israel on both sides of the veil! This week we are studying and learning from Preach My Gospel! It’s been incredible rubbing shoulders with some amazing disciples of Jesus Christ!
We have been learning how to use technology to reach out to the world, we were  taught last evening by Elder Hamilton of the 70, who is the director of Family Search for the church. He taught us how to help people start the journey to find their roots and connect their families! In fact, look who I found!

This is Elder Kent! His Great Great Grandparents are Mary Ellen and Henry Chauncey Kent! They are my Great Grandparents! We are 2nd cousins once removed! We found each other last night as we learned about Family Tree! 


And tonight we found this darling Sister! Sister Abbie Lindhardt joined us today! She is from our ward! We knew that she was coming but it was pretty emotional when we saw each other! We just had to hug!

We are so thankful for the testimonies we have of our Savior, Jesus Christ! We love Him and we invite you to read 2 Nephi 25:26. Please comment on your feelings of Him! We would ❤️ To hear from you!

It's Been a Whirlwind

 To say that the last 2 weeks have flown by would be an understatement.  It almost feels like a blur.  We are quickly winding down and I needed to write this last post because I know that I won't write again, here in New York.  There is so much to do before we can head home but these last two weeks have been fabulous.  We started out with a District P-Day at the Energy Zone.  The missionaries had a good time.  We have been there with a couple of other groups of missionaries but none of these missionaries had been.  Of course, they have fun whatever they are doing. Afterwards we went to The Trackside restaurant inside the old Train Station.  The food was great and afterwards we gave them each a freshly made bag of caramel corn. (I've been trying to use up my pantry) L-R Elder Alex Cowie, Sister Teli Okusi, Elder Bruce Mortenson, Elder Kevin Cox, Sister Ashley Cluff, Elder Joe Prado, and us That evening we went out to West Winfield to see our s...

Spelunking

 Have you ever explored a cave?  A big cave?  We had the chance to go to Howe Caverns about 2 hours East of us on our P-Day.  We had bought tickets to go and then our care broke down so we had a chance to re-schedule and it was pretty fun.   Howe Caverns is named after farmer Lester Howe, who discovered the cave on May 22, 1842, after noticing that his cows frequently gathered near bushes at the bottom of a hill on hot summer days. Behind the bushes, Howe found a strong, cool breeze emanating from a hole in the Earth. He went down into the cave and started exploring.  It is huge.  They opened it to tours and it has grown into quite a tourist trap.  It's always 52 degrees in the cave so we were really glad to have our jackets.   There are wildflowers everywhere here.  The roadways are spectacular to say the least.  We have had such a beautiful summer with lots of rain.  It's green and lovely. And the skies!  And the clouds!...

 Our week started out different this week because our P-Day would be on Saturday instead of Monday.  We stuck close to home, working on things for the ward and working on the bulletin boards that we were doing outside the Bishop's office and in the Relief Society room.  They turned out great.  One is divided into thirds with the names of Jesus Christ as the center.  We placed pictures of Jesus with all the names we find in "The Living Christ".  On the left, we did Book of Mormon Stories - Who's Your Hero.  We put pictures of some of our favorite Book of Mormon heroes with a scripture that speaks of them.  On the right, we put Follow the Prophet, the temple, and the covenant path.  It looks a little busy, but we like it. The biggest and best part of the week was our Zone Conference.  We love when we are with the Elders and Sisters.  This was big because it was our last Zone Conference.  Not sure how the time went so fast.  ...
