Highlight of the Week!

We got some pictures from Mike in the mail yesterday. I loaded these in reverse order and can't figure out how to switch the order, so here goes.

This is an example of signs on churches in West Virginia. Nate used to send home pictures like this, too, when he was in Tennessee and Arkansas. We don't see signs like this in the west as much.

This is Mike's companion, Elder Hutchings and outgoing Mission Pres. Cowley. Elder Hutchings is from Riverton, Ut. Mike is training him.
And this is Pres. & Sis. Cowley. They're home now and a new Mission Pres. is in place.

It's so good to see pictues of the boy. Man. I know he's a man, not a boy. But, you know what I mean. He's got a baptism scheduled for this coming Saturday and hopes to be having 3 more in the near future. The wife of the man that's being baptized this Saturday, another man and a foster son of the bishop. That should be a good shot in the arm for Elder Garrard if they all pan out. On the 22nd, he'll be out for 11 months. Somedays it seems like it's going pretty quickly an on others, not so much. But, I know when he's home I'll look back and think it went pretty fast. That will be a great day.
