Happenings in Starke, Florida!!
Asa & Sienna Carver Baptism
Tasha Morton Baptism
Shaytron Cotton Baptism
I'm so proud of my missionary son. He is loving the small farm town of Starke, Florida!! He lives on a farm, calls his apartment a tool shed and loves every minute! He has gotten really close the The Barber Family (the bishop) which I am so grateful for.
Daniel has been serving in Starke since February, his longest time in one area so far! He is still a District Leader and has learned so much through this experience of leading by example. His last letter, he told us how so many missionaries are caught up in numbers....how many baptisms they have.....but he has realized that retention rate is so much more important. He says he wants to be judged on how many of his converts grandkids are active years down the road....not how many he baptizes.
With transfers last week, he is training a greenie again, Elder Bass, who has brought a breath of fresh air to Starke, Daniel loves him already! His Zone Leader is one of his closest friends/past companions, Elder V...so life is good....
15 months down, 9 months to go.....not that I'm counting yet!!!
PS - The NEW Mission President arrived too! I've spoken to them and just love them already!!
(they are the couple in the middle)
