A Little Bit of This and a Little Bit of That


It's time to play catch-up on events that didn't make it into the spotlight in previous blogs!!! 



You can't beat a good service project!


One of those Indiana thunder storms.

'Relaxing' at Hamilton Lake.

And now for a little family news...from Texas...
Our Erin was baptized on June 14th. We are soooo proud of her!
Fifty-three days after he was born, and five days before his due date, Baby Mac went home. (We can't wait to meet him next week!)

Moments of Missionary "Adventures"

Our missionaries have adventures, too. They just don't get to leave the mission boundaries! Haha. Like...last week we went bowling.






This was also the week of our Stake's Mini-Missions. Each set of Elders or Sisters was given their very own 'mini' to care for all week. Ours was great and, hopefully, he got a feel for what missionaries really do.
Elder Carson and Elder Clare welcome Brother Miller!

Kirtland

"Go to the Ohio; and there I will give unto you my law; and there you shall be endowed with power from on high." (D&C 38:42)

We recite this as part of our mission scripture at all of our meetings, so it was truly a special opportunity to visit Historic Kirtland with the other Senior Missionaries this week. Thank you, President Porter! We had a great time!
