We gave a final good bye to two of our favorite seniors – Elder and Sister Carlson. They came in today to do some last minute stuff and to finish packing at the Richards (where they have been staying the past week). They will be leaving real early tomorrow morning and heading for home. They will be missed, but what a great service they gave to the mission and to Heavenly Father. We will see them at the mission reunions. It is hard to see your ‘friends’ leave, but seeing family is something we all look forward to.
Sister Hatori has planter's fasciitis and it is painful. In our mission, because of the many missionaries coming into the field, we are going from a vehicle mission to a bike mission, which means, that the missionaries have to share a vehicle with another companionship. On the days that they don’t have the car, they have to either bike or walk. I am sure we will be seeing more of these types of ‘problems’ with especially the sisters. Guess they’ll have to toughen’ up.
I am working on Senior Conference that we have coming up in March. We are going to meet at the Frederick Stake Center from 10:00 until 12:30, with ideas and things we all want to work on while out here serving. We will give ideas on how best to serve, what works and what doesn’t. At 1:00 we will go to Famous Dave’s Barbeque House. There will be between twenty-six and twenty-eight of us. We’ll need the banquet room. Even the senior missionary group is growing.
