Spring has sprung, but where's the Sun?

I was looking forward to Spring, in hopes that we would get out everyday and ride our bikes.    But so far it hasn't happened.   It's either been too cold or raining.  But we continue to serve where we're needed.

 The Boyer's, a wonderful missionary couple, who left for home last week....

 Sister Tefteller and Sister Fuller.....and Elder and Sister Wilson helping Elder T. clean up!!

We attended 2 baptisms last Saturday.  Both convert baptisms. It is so great to see people accept  the Gospel, and the Savior into their lives.  One of the things I love about the Saints here is how welcoming they are of everyone that comes to Church.  Both baptisms had a large attendance of members from their ward/Branch.  There is definitely "True Religion"practiced here in the Missouri Independence Mission.  We keep busy, which we love.   We do things to help the Ward and Branch we are assigned to.    We visit "less active".   We serve at the Temple once a week.......We sometimes go with the Housing Director and his wife to help with apartments......We are hosting at the VC in Independence and the Liberty Jail, when Seniors need to take off.   I am cooking and baking a lot which I love.   Elder Tefteller, after last Zone Conference, asked me if I get tired of cooking and baking.   I replied, "no"  Those are two things I love to do!!!  I am  so grateful for the time we have been able to serve a mission.   I'll have to admit, after the Boyer''s went home, we got a little "trunky".  But we're ok now.   We only have 5 1/2 months before we go home.    We want to give it our all with the remaining time we have.   We definitely want to go on another mission someday.  We have a testimony that God is our Heavenly Father, that Jesus Christ is the Savior and Redeemer of mankind.  We know that they love everyone, everywhere, in all walks of life and they have provided the teachings and ordinances of the Gospel through living prophets.  We testify that through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, repentance, baptism by Priesthood authority and receiving the Gift of the Holy Ghost and enduring in faith till the end of our mortal lives we may be saved in the Kingdom of God.  We invite all to come unto Christ!!

Much love, Elder and Sister Tefteller

Until next time:  Read your scriptures, and be happy!!
