Mini Zone/District Meeting/then off to FHE

FHE with Annie Pyrum and her family.
Dodge Ball after our Zone Meeting - This is quite the sport for the Elders, they love it.


And of course they love the food too

We drove to Newburgh for a mini Zone gathering. We became acquainted with the new Elders in our Zone, had awesome instruction and testimonies from ZL and others. We learned the importance of being an Elder Dan Jones, instead of an Elder " I'm a Mormon". Are we here on our mission because we love the Lord and have a testimony of his Atonement or are we here because we are a Mormon and we are expected to be here on our missions. Now that is an important question we all can ask ourselves with our everyday lives.

After the sharing session the Elders changed and had a mean game of Dodge ball. We brought some brownies and chips and dips. No matter what it is the Elders are hungry and grateful. We love being with them. During the meeting the thunder rumbled like crazy and the rain poured. After about an hour it cleared up and the sun was bright as ever.

We drove to New Paltz to check out an apartment complex for the new senior couple that will be here the end of sept. Nothing available. We'll have to spend the whole day looking soon.
We then headed home and prepared for family home evening. It was our turn for the lesson and activity.
