Elder May: Being home...

Elder Bryson May is been home for approximately 2 weeks now and things are moving very quickly for him with regards to his service mission.  We are very proud of him and his decision and desire to continue to want to serve the Lord...Enjoy!

Hey everyone! I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm home and I'm doing well.  My asthma is in much better control and I am able now to focus on my service mission.  

I am working really hard on getting started on my service mission.  Apparently there is a pilot program going on in Arizona to start out new Church-Service missions. Apparently there is about 45 of us going around doing service by not proselyting and we share stories to Salt Lake City and the authorities all there are supposed to read our stories. If the pilot program goes well, it's going to branch out to other states and so on.

The couple in charge of it, Brother and Sister Pugmire, reached out to me and asked if that was something I would be interested in.  There are so many different options for where I would like to serve.  Since meeting with them, I have chosen the things that I would like to pursue and help further along the Lord's work.

Right now, I am working with them and someone from the Save the Family Foundation to become an Executive Assistant to the Chief Operations Officer there, very similar to the Executive Secretary in the bishopric.  I will be assisting them to find housing for homeless people in Arizona. I'm also going to be helping an Elder in the temple. He has cerebral palsy and can only blink but has a desire to serve the Lord through doing temple work so I have accepted to be one of the two elders that would help him throughout the week in different sessions by helping him get dressed throughout each session. As of today, I am just waiting on the Church to update the system and we can move further along with it.

Once my hours are set, I will also be working in the temple once a week as an ordinance worker.  I will also be going on splits with the missionaries assigned to our ward once or twice a week which I am very excited about as well. 

I'm really grateful that even though I had to come home, I was still able to further increase the work. I'm really glad to be chosen as the few groups of missionaries to help bring this church service to Arizona and maybe even the world one day! I love you all and I'll keep updating!
