Elder back from medical leave

Elders: Bishoff, Bergonza, Jesson, Gale, Iro, Mook and us.

We drove down to Middletown for District meeting today. Two Spansh speaking Elders have been placed in the area. Elder Bishoff from Moab Utah just arrived back in the field after rehab from a hip injury. It was so fun to see him. He is a great young man. His new companion Elder Bergonza from Illinoise had just been transferred to Kingston area and then re-transferred when Elder Bishoff arrived. The Middletown area are blessed to have the spanish speaking Elders there. It makes us one of the largest districts. (Elder Bishoff is a major hunter, he and Doug get along really well.)

We stopped at Gander Mtn on the way home and picked up "Edward" the blow up deer and a cross bow that shoots foam darts. (The Elders nic-named it Edward). FHE lesson was on the story of Nephi and his broken bow. They gave a great lesson and then Doug hosted a game with "Edward". If we answered his questions correctly we got to shoot the cross bow. We had 13 at FHE not counting the missionaries. We had a great time.

Two more days and the boys will be here - Yahoo!!

Hi Sister Ellett,

I saw your blog. I'm Elder Jessens' mom. Thanks for the note and pictures. We also have a blog for him that we are trying to keep up. The couple that you are looking for an apartment for the Farnworths are good friends of a couple in my home ward, the Horns. The Horns son Tim is also Ben's good friend. Small world! Thanks so much for keeping me posted about Ben.
Thanks again,
Susan
