Member Missionary Work...

Hey Mom,

That's crazy to hear about Alex!  England will be perfect for him!  And good for Reuel too, there will be a lot of missionaries out when I get home.  No pictures this week, but I will try and get some sent this coming week.  Derek was able to come to church but his brother wasn't.  But we were able to have some else there thanks to the Stake President.  We had ward conference and while the Stake President was driving over, he picks up a man who he saw was struggling on the side of the road.  The man (Kevin) just so happened to have a white shirt and tie in the bag he was carrying and he came to church with us.  We taught him the restoration in the second hour with Brother Nance, who is the High Counselor over missionary work in the stake.  It was a miracle, and a great example of member missionary work to a ward who hasn't had a member generated lesson in several months.  I have been reading The Power of Everyday Missionaries recently, and we have been sharing some of the stories of it.  Just think how fast the kingdom would grow if every year, every member of the church had one person taught by the missionaries in their home.

Love Elder Shields!
