I love to see the temple!

In a world filled with chaos, it is so renewing to attend the temple! Last week we were able to take Tammie with us to the Columbus Temple. Just wish we lived closer so that our attendance could be more frequent!

And let's not fail to mention the Branch's Annual Chili Cook-off. A good time was had by all!!

                

A Few February Favorites

In an effort to chase away the winter blues, the city of Auburn yarn bombs the downtown trees each year. It just puts a smile on your face to see these colorful decorations!

Elder Beckman got "the crud", but, thanks to Sister Porter's magic tonic, was back on his feet in no time. He and Elder Lemieux are two fantastic missionaries!!!!

We sure do love our little District - Elders Lemieux, Beckman, Taylor, Hall, McClellan, and Sisters Elmer and Johnson.

Another Zone Fun Day of Bubble Soccer.

"And we can always go bowling..."

 One of the favorite activities is lunch after our District Meetings. Today the Zone Leaders joined us.


















And, last, but not least - Sister Mac turned another year older.

Valentine's Day

We served refreshments at the Fremont Library's Soundies Canteen. These were 3-minute long films of all music genres that were produced between 1940-46 in Chicago, New York and Hollywood.

Next it was off to Fort Wayne with the Tom and Hope Wilson for a wonderful adventure of Chinese and Indian cuisine and desert at Castle Gallery.

Thanks again Bill and Sandy for coming out to see us!

New & Who Knew?!

The Last Supper.

We said good-bye to our Elder Anderton as he completed his mission and returned home to Utah.

Bye-bye Mound

We welcomed Elder Beckman to Angola. (We got to keep Elder Lemieux!)

That was the "new." Now for the "who knew" part...

Who knew that Annie Oakley (Little Sure Shot) is buried just outside the tiny village of Brock, Ohio - which just happens to be on our way home from transfers! Anyway, we had to take the small detour to visit this historic spot.

More for you history buffs - In 1933, John Dillinger and his gang entered the Farmer's State Bank in Hudson, Indiana, and robbed them of $1,700. The building now houses the Gangster's Grill. Hudson is in our branch boundaries, so we took Elder Lemieux and Elder McFarland there for lunch. 

Our missionary version of what must have happened on that fateful day. 

Welcome 2015

We have enjoyed a complete year in Indiana as missionaries. It has gone by so quickly! We now welcome in a new year of adventures, beginning with these January entries...

The Christmas mights were taken down and the snow and frigid weather arrived.

We all got a little sick but, fortunately, Sister Porter had a great remedy to get us back on our feet again. It just didn't taste all that good. Elder Lemieux only needed one dose!!!

We are allowed one District Fun Day and one Zone Fun Day each month.  

Last week our district enjoyed lunch at the Shultz's new place in Auburn - Bo Doogies BBQ. Yum! Then, that's right. Bowling.

Today...Waterloo...and...BUBBLE SOCCER...with the Zone.

(It can't get much better than this - especially if you are a Senior Missionary trying to keep up with the young 'uns!!)
