Called to Serve: Embracing the opportunities
http://farandwidehisloveproclaim.blogspot.com/2012/10/embracing-opportunities.html
Monday, October 15, 2012. October has come and our mission is flying by! Elder Whiting informs me we only have 7 months left. Since we have been here in Lafayette, it has been so busy that the time just passes and we do not know where it goes. Today is Curtis' birthday and Wendy and Jeff's anniversary! Just thinking about family. They were all very kind and fussed over the kids. They did listen to us! This week we are making pumpkin bars with a yellow cake mix for Institute. With a little whipped cre...

http://farandwidehisloveproclaim.blogspot.com/2012/09/week-ago-lafayette-bishopric-member.html
Monday, September 10, 2012. A week ago, the Lafayette Bishopric member asked me to give a talk from Isaiah on "waiting on the Lord." He ask us to share, if we could, experiences of waiting on the Lord and the lessons that we have learned from doing that. This is a copy of the talk I wrote: I am grateful that the Lord gave me this opportunity so I could record these experiences. Suddenly I felt the jerk when my car's tire hit something and exploded! As I pondered the situation, later, I realized that the ...

Tuesday, August 28, 2012. Aug 28 This week in Lafayette. Since we have been assigned to the Lafayette First Ward, much of what we will do will center around the first ward and the Institute Ward.

Called to Serve: June 2008
http://farandwidehisloveproclaim.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 30, 2008. Monday, June 30. Our day was very busy and filled with things we needed to do. Besides washing our clothes this morning I worked on the presentation for Julie Watham that we give on Wednesday. Her mother said she loves the book that we made for her. We will just add some pages to it on Wednesday. Our subject for her this week is Authority, Joseph Smith, and the Book of Mormon. After we left the Canfields we stopped by the Corsicana Pioneer Village and toured it and took some pictur...

Called to Serve: The story of Robert and Amanda Oct 21
http://farandwidehisloveproclaim.blogspot.com/2012/10/the-story-of-robert-and-amanda-oct-21.html
Sunday, October 21, 2012. The story of Robert and Amanda Oct 21. It is a beautiful Fall, October day; and also Stake Conference Day! The temperature is very moderate and nice, the spirit at church was beautiful and strong, and it has been a very peaceful day to prepare for the week. I want to write down about our visit yesterday to see Robert ande Amanda. As we visited we learned more about Robert. He spent a lot of time explaining to us what he believed and how strongly he felt about it. His par...We as...

Called to Serve: July 2008
http://farandwidehisloveproclaim.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 31, 2008. July 31, 2008. As I have said before, time has just flown while here on this mission. So much is going on all of the time, we loose track of time except for our appointment book! That is good because that is one thing that keeps us happy: We just keep serving. Do you feel different? What a neat thing to hear! The Williams family was grateful to see us this afternoon. They have a 16 yr old daughter living with them that doesn't come to church. Her boyfriend is also living ...Adria...

Tuesday, February 9, 2010. Thank heavens January is over, and half of February too for that matter. Jon is working in Seattle during the week, the kids having been passing around colds and croup to each other (who taught them to share anyway? And the weather has us trapped inside. Oh look, I am being called away (and I just sat down too.) Well maybe next month. Monday, January 4, 2010. Friday, December 25, 2009. Let's play catch up, shall we? We'll start with Halloween. Saturday, November 7, 2009. Cause ...

Called to Serve: Aug. 15 "In as much as ye have done it unto the least of these. . ."
http://farandwidehisloveproclaim.blogspot.com/2012/08/aug-15-mary.html
Thursday, August 16, 2012. Aug 15 "In as much as ye have done it unto the least of these. . .". But the thing we noted first was the odor that hit us as we entered into the ranch style two bedroom home. We knew there were four cats living in the home before we came. What we didn't expect was the heavy odor of amonia that stung our eyes and noses. But as we settled down to visit with her, we grew used to the odor. Ellen replied, "Well how about he takes care of the cats while he is there? I just spent 10 ...

Called to Serve: Sept. 11
http://farandwidehisloveproclaim.blogspot.com/2012/09/sept-11-yesterday-was-great-way-to.html
Wednesday, September 12, 2012. Yesterday was a great way to commemorate Sept. 11. We spent it contacting some of the golden members of our ward. It was a busy and worthwhile day. While we would like to be teaching people the Gospel, this is what we have been asked to do in this area. And we know that we are making differences in the lives of those that we see. When we left, we gave her a hug and a smile. We were pretty sure she would not remember us, but hopefully feelings we left with her. Laura in real...
