One year in the books,
one to go. I can’t believe it’s been a year already.
We have started what we
call Operation Desert Eagle. We have shifted our main focus on reactivation and
retention rather than bringing in new people and having them become less
actives. This has led to a lot of time in the Family History Center where we
have spent a combined total of 15 hours in updating records and putting the
records onto our “dot map”.
This in turn has not
allowed us to go and contact very much. We were able to help some of the
members though with service and we were able to put up some dry wall in a
member’s home. It took a lot of work, but we were able to get the pieces out of
her car and able to get the job done. I think we are starting to gain the trust
of the members and hopefully we will be able to get some referrals from them.
We also were able to
move a couch for a member and give a blessing to another in one event. We went
and moved the couch into a car and then went to give a blessing to another
member. We then went to the other member and unloaded the couch for him. It was
a pretty busy day but we were able to multitask and get everything done.
We have been working
hard and we met with a less active Sister who said that she may come back. We
will have to meet with her some more. We will continue to work to reactivate members
and help with retention efforts.

On P-Day we did a bunch
of fun things. We went to the Hershey's store and went to Niagara Falls and
Bird Kingdom of Niagara Falls, a Bird Sanctuary.

Thank You to Grandma
& Grandpa Gibson, Dave Western and Jeff Cheney for writing to me. E-Mails
are fantastic and a bit of home goes a long way.

I’d like to give a very
special shout out to Brother Dan Jordan for shipping my Hump-Day box from my
Mom and Dad. I haven’t got it as of August 31st because it was
in customs, but I know it’s coming! I’m sure Mom and Dad stuffed it full of
treats!
Thanks Mom and Dad and remember...
I pray for you every night and day!
