Wednesday

Today Elder Davis practiced shadow leadership. He was there but stayed out of things. The corporate office fed us lunch today, a company appreciation meal. It was very good. On my way to the restroom I saw signs for a blood drive. I went in and they said they could draw my blood. When I finally got to the chair to do it I was talking to the nurse and I told her about Jeanene needing blood and she got teary. She told me that they love to hear stories like that, that it makes their job worthwhile. It was really sweet. She told me to give Gracie a kiss from them.

This evening we went to the mission home for dinner. There are 7 Elders and one sister going home. We had a very nice dinner and then we stayed for testimony meeting. I loved the testimonies of these great young people. I felt the spirit as they bore their testimonies, they are amazing. Sister Walker expressed her love for them and Pres. Walker gave them great council. One of the things that he said was "focus on the temple". He feels like that is the next biggie in their lives.

  1. Sounds like a great day. I am so glad that you enjoyed your day. The story about the blood drive is so sweet. I told the kids and Dan about it and they all thought it was sweet too. We need to give blood. I know I can't give for right now, but in the future I will.

  2. That sounds like a lot of fun and it sounds like a missionary story.
    Chris gave blood yesterday too.
