It is amazing to see
the growth in this Elder – month to month, he continues to grow and be
strengthened by who he is and becoming.
We love him so much and miss him too because he isn’t home that much
anymore but we couldn’t be prouder of him!
Enjoy!!
Hi everyone!
Things have been going well for my mission. Save the Family
has been the same, new temple trips with Elder Haws, Hayward, and even Elder
Ferrell joined us from Scottsdale and got to be a part of our session, and now
I have new ideas on how to be a more effective district leader.
Save the Family has still been great. There's always good
and bad days at work, but it is the place that I feel that I am needed the
most. A lot of work has been done in that file room and I can't necessarily
help people come unto Christ but I can however, show people where to go to
conquer homelessness so that's a pretty close second to me!
I invited Elder Ferrell to come with us to the Gilbert to
help be a part of one of Elder Hayward's temple sessions. He drove all the way
from his home in Scottsdale, at least an hour away to come and be with us
during the session. I helped Elder Ferrell during the session and Elder Haws
took care of Elder Hayward. The Spirit was so absolutely strong to have both of
them there. When you are an Elder, you carry a unique spirit but when you have
anyone with you that have any kinds of special needs, either mentally or
physically, their celestial spirit with the additional missionary spirit is
unlike anything else. It was so amazing. It was really cool too because while
Elder Haws and I were changing, Elder Ferrell drove up to Elder Hayward and
kept him company and was talking to him about how awesome he is that he serves
in the temple and such for his mission. No matter where we were, the Spirit was
so strongly following with us. It was absolutely incredible.
I have absolutely loved my mission so far. I love that I get
to work at Save the Family and help change people's lives both coworker and any
clients that may come in. I love that I get to take Elder Hayward to the temple
at least once a week either with or without Elder Haws. I love being able to
meet new people and their families and be able to grow and be more able to do
hard things and strengthen my testimony so much. I love my mission. I know that
Heavenly Father always had this plan set in stone for me and now I have to help
carry the work forward. I have to be a pioneer and continue to help pushing the
work forward. I have to help bring the program of Young Church-Service
Missionaries to people around the world. I absolutely love my mission that is
just for me, I love my companion, Elder Ferrell, and I feel honored to be
chosen to continue to push this work along.
I love you all and I can't wait for
the next month. It's my favorite because it's my last name!
Love Elder May
