This morning, our dear friend, Sister Mitton, came by for a blessing. We first met her and her husband, Jeff, back in the fall of 2012. She has really struggled with him as he has changed so much since his deployment  to Iraq. Obviously, we shouldn't get into the details, but she from time-to-time will give us a call and we will visit and then give her a blessing. We pray for her and for her family. We love her and hope that she will find answers and peace through the Atonement of Jesus Christ.

With the new mission now formed and running, we held our first DDM (District Development Meeting) this morning. It was good to be back together. We ran the meeting just as if we were still in the old  mission, as no guidance has come to make any changes. As we always say, "If it an't broke, don't fix it"!

This evening, we went out to visit brother and sister Sanders. He had some surgery today and  has bounced back very rapidly; he is smiling and happy. He knows he has been greatly blessed! We then went out to visit some of our families. Sister Voyles, whose husband has now returned to Egypt, then we dropped in on the Hickams and the Koellers. Brother Hickam is being med boarded out and the Koellers will be transferred to D.C. next spring. We also saw the Peterson family; we learned that he had been called as the new Elder's Quorum President in the Harlem Ward. We didn't even know that the old President, Brother Heaton was moving. We would hope that when these people would move, people we've established a relationship with, that they would at least call and say goodbye. Oh well, we love them anyway.
