missionaries

Sister Beck and Sister Pieper, with all the people.
On Sunday April 20 we had a small get together for the missionaries. Sister Beck and Sister Pieper came for a short while, they are so busy you know. Sister Beck will be leaving for home, Modesto California, on Wednesday. We will miss her and her energy to serve the Lord. What a great example of service. She had so many appointments that she had only 30 minutes to eat and visit with those who came to say good-bye. Bishop Barrett and his wife Lisa came as well as Sister Barb Brixey. They had each gone out on different appointments with the sisters. We also had Brennen Watts, who had just been baptized on Saturday, and received the Holy Ghost that afternoon at church. Another investigator came by, Bob Karp. Paul, Heidi and Brandon have gone to his home with the sisters to teach him the lessons. It was a full afternoon of food and fun.
We love doing missionary work. It is so wonderful to see a person receive the fullness of the gospel in their lives and change for the better. It makes us want to improve as well. We will miss Sister Beck and her energy, but look forward to Sister Pieper and her new companion and the work they will do.
