Kirk has been made a District leader, which he won’t tell you because he is
modest. In essence, “district leaders have many
responsibilities such as supervising, teaching and inspiring the missionaries
in his district, planning and conducting weekly meetings, interviewing
baptismal candidates and generally looking after the well being of the missionaries
of his stewardship.” [http://mormonmission.blogspot.com/2008/12/district-leaders-and-sister-leaders-on.html]
Hello
Everyone,
I
was able to spend a day with the Elders in Concho this past week. I thought
that St. Johns was a small town....Concho definitely is. The Elders there are
doing really well. The members of their branch love them and are always excited
to see them. That is pleasing for me to see. This week I'll be spending the day
with the other elders in St. Johns. They seem to be having some difficulties,
so I hope that I can learn more about their situation.
There was a baptism on Saturday in one of our wards. The woman that was baptized was taught by the senior couple serving here. The senior couple was so excited and happy about their first baptism on their mission! The woman that they baptized is a wonderful lady. Her daughter had joined the church some 30 years ago and served a mission for the church. The daughter's husband is in the bishopric, and they have been raising their children in the church. The joy that this sister felt to witness the baptism of her own mother was apparent in her face and in the words that she spoke the following day in Sacrament meeting.
That
was pretty much my week. The weeks are getting shorter and shorter. On the 19th
they'll be training us on ipads. Just in time for me to go home haha.
Have
a great week everyone,
Elder
Kirk
