Missionary Work

Our sincere appreciation to Spencer for his service as our Ward Mission Leader. He leaves behind big shoes to fill (literally) but as the new ward missionaries, we will do our best.  Elder De Lora returned home this week, so we will be getting a new full time missionary soon and we look forward to meeting him and working
together.
During the past month we've spent several evenings "tracting" and have met some wonderful people. If you see us "out and about" please feel free to "honk and wave" just like we were official full time missionaries. We are finishing up some new member discussions with a recently baptized sister and find great joy in teaching the gospel to people who are just beginning to appreciate all that it has to offer.

Just to show you how enthusiastic we are, Here is a quote from a recent e-mail from Scott S., about one of his experiences while contacting a less active member. "She answered the phone I explained who I was and she said, 'We are not active and don’t have the desire for the foreseeable future to become activated but thanks for your efforts.' It was the nicest rejection I have ever had." Now who wouldn't love a companion like that? Such optimism!

We love the gospel and are enthusiastic to share it with anyone you think might be ready. We encourage you to prayerfully consider any of your neighbors who might enjoy a visit from us along with the full time missionaries. We promise to put our best foot forward as we strive to fulfill the third and most rewarding mission of the church (in our opinion), proclaim the gospel.

Please feel free to contact us!
- Scott S., Ward Mission Leader and Cory E. Jr. Companion
