September 3, 2013

Also, Brendan is homeeeee!! <3
Holy cow, it blows my mind. I never thought this day would come, and now I'm not even there to see him! Please please please give him a hug for me!! Invite him over a lot and invite him to do things with you guys and tell him how proud I am of all his amazing accomplishments. I truly am so blessed to have him in my life and to have had his support through basically everything. I know I can always count on him. How blessed I feel  :) :) :)
Okay, so this week has been CRAZY. I have never ever ever been more exhausted in my life. It's weird, because I love it! We have a baptism this Saturday for an 11 year old girl named Mahylee. Isn't that a beautiful name. It's like Kylee but Mahylee. I think I want to name one of my girls Mahylee. She is Navajo Indian and absolutely beautiful. I am so lucky to have met her and have been able to teach her and spend time with her!! We also had a ward party this weekend which was so fun! Bro. Hall roasted a freaking pig in a pit of coals and then served it.. my gosh it was so gross. It was just laying there! I couldn't even eat it. But guess what Dad!?!?? I ate PIE! 2 different kinds! I had a butterfinger pie and a tripple berry pie. The berry one was a little too mushy for me but it was pretty good. BE PROUD. :) Also, Keaton! I am so excited for you to be playing Lacrosse! How cool is that? I'm not going to lie, I was surprised when you said you were actually doing a sport. Hahah but I'm really excited for you! You'll have to teach me how to play! So does that mean you aren't doing ballroom anymore? 


We went on exchanges today so i'm actually in a different area. And when I say different, I mean DIFFERENT. We are more out in the desert. Like literally in the freaking desert. We get to drive a beast truck which I LOVE and at night, holy cow. The stars are incredible. I think the only reason I would live here would be for the sky. Between the sunsets and the stars, it is one beautiful place. My companion for the day is Sister Gibby and she is from Tooele and guess what? She knew Seth!! It was crazy to just sit and talk about how crazy he was. hahah So this morning at 6:30 we went and did service at a horse hospital and it was soooo gross. All we did was scoop up their stinky poo. Who knew horses pee could smell so awful. You know how I am with smells.... I had to try my hardest not to throw up!!!! But it was fun to be around all the horses! It made me think of RANDY. How is he doing? 
Alrighty, I told you in a few of my other emails about "The Last Days" and I say that because it's so true. We are in the last days and Christ will be here before we know it. Going outside of my sheltered grove, I have seen how wicked people are and how much corruption there is. And it truly scares me!! We know that there will not be another Apostasy since we are in the Latter Days (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) and we read all about the signs of when Christ will come. I am so grateful of the knowledge we have of this gospel. And I am so grateful for the opportunity we have to repent and become spotless so that when He does come, we will be ready. Mom, you said it frightens you that we are in the last days, but honestly if you are doing all you can to be the best, there is nothing to worry about! Christ will judge us according to our works and I know without a doubt that we are fine. We will be an eternal family and that is a BEAUTIFUL blessing. Continue to read your scriptures, pray as a family and alone and be excited for church. Dad, PLEASE listen to the scriptures on your way to work and home. I cannot stress how important that is! I know it may sound dumb to you, but it would mean the world to not only me, but to our Father in Heaven. He has given us the scriptures as a tool to grow closer to him and we are taking them for granted! We don't take worldly things with us when we go to heaven. We won't have the music we have now, we won't have the cars or the boats, we won't have Television. We take our knowledge of the gospel and our family. That's all that God knows we need to be successful. And Keaton, PLEASE be excited to go to church!! A lot of the time, we meet many Less Actives who don't understand why it is so important to go to church. Why can't we just worship him at the cabin? Why can't we talk to God in our homes? We can! But there is one important thing you CANNOT do at home. And that is partaking of the sacrament. The sacrament is something that becomes routine. Do you know why we take the sacrament each week? Ask Mom and and Dad and maybe even Bishop and then write me an email with your answer :) I am so grateful for the knowledge I am gaining from being out here. My testimony is stronger than ever and I owe a lot of it to you guys. For pushing me to serve, for supporting me and for being such great examples to me! I couldn't have asked for a better family. I love you all so very much and not a day goes by that I don't think of you. Remember my love for you and please remember your Saviors love for you as well.

August 26, 2013 - Greeting from Sister Walker, (The Nun!?)


I Love to see her Smile:), and she is getting OUR HUGS through others!

Hey there family!! 

"So funny story, We stopped and talked to this lady, (not the lady in this picture:) walking down the street and when I introduced myself, I say 'SISTER Walker', right? Well she thought since we were 'sisters' that we were NUNS. HAHAHA man it was too funny. We set her straight and we have a return appointment with her!!"

"I realized yesterday during sacrament meeting that The Lord has trusted me with a small portion of his vineyard. He is trusting me to FIND those people who are waiting, to TEACH them and to help them BUILD a relationship with our father. How blessed I feel to have been given this opportunity. Yes, It's incredibly hard. INCREDIBLY hard.  I'm here to serve. And serve him I will. Even after my mission!! We already have the beautiful gospel in our lives, so it's our duty to share it with those that don't. I'm learning to get out of my shell and talk to scary people! If I can do it, you guys can do it as well. (: Give it a try and I'll follow up!"

I want to share with you guys a miracle that happened this week. 
We received a text from one of our investigators named Elizabeth. She was a referral from the YSA sisters. Elizabeth is 18 years old, found out she was pregnant and so she got married. Therefore she could no longer be in YSA. We met with her and she told us we could stop by on a certain day to teach her more. Time and time again we tried and tried to meet with her and she either wouldn't be home, or she would tell us that now wasn't a good time. So we were going to give her one last time before we would need to drop her for now. So weeks went by and we couldn't get a hold of her and then we got a text from her on Monday night. And it said, "Hey, can we meet tonight at 8:00?" So we show up at 8, thinking that she was going to tell us that she didn't want to meet with us anymore but that's the complete opposite of what happened. She told us how she had been going through a hard time with her husband and while he was out, she knelt down and prayed. Prayed to know if what we were teaching was true. And she said she got an overwhelming feeling that came over her and she could not deny that they were true. At that moment she texted us and began reading the Book of Mormon and she said she is DYING to know more. She has met with us every day since and has a baptism date for September 15th. She gave her best friend a copy of the Book of Mormon as well! She went to a baptism on Saturday for another ward just to see what it was like and LOVED it! Then came to church Sunday and LOVED it! (I hope it was okay that I gave her one of my skirts since she only has 2 levi's and 4 tee-shirts) But really, that was one of the many amazing miracles that we have seen this week.  

I just want you guys to know that I KNOW this church is true. There is not one doubt in my mind about it. I know my Father in Heaven loves me for who I am and I know he is proud of the work I am doing. I know that he has a plan for me and a plan or our family to be together forever. I am so thankful for you guys. I know I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the love I received from you guys. This is extremely hard work, but even more rewarding. Thank you for your prayers. Thank you for the letters and packages. Thank you for being who you are and thank you for raising me to know that I'm a Beautiful Daughter of God.

LOOOVe you all soooooo Much,   Sister Walker

August 19, 2013 - Sister Walker FINALLY answers our Questions!!!


We have been sending Sister Walker a lot of "Question" letters.  She finally had some enough time to sit down and answer some of them for us!

What do you do on a typical P-day?
Personal study
Comp study
12 week
shop 
laundry
clean apartment
pday sports
naps
dinner
Teach:)
(She sent us a copy of a day in her planner.  WOW!! busy, busy, busy bees!!)

What has been the hardest thing to deal with so far?
I don't know how Christ handled the torment.  People treated him terribly, and I've experienced portions of it and it is not enjoyable!

What do you enjoy doing the most?
I Love teaching the Plan of Salvation.  It's such a beautiful plan:) and we truly do have a purpose, each and every one of us!

Do you still have a hard time getting up in the mornings?
Amazingly no!  I've found that if I just role out of bed and Pray to wake up, then I do!  It's awesome!  Try it out:)

Are you missing me (Joe) more than anyone else?
I truly do miss you.  Especially your HUGS, and your jokes.  Got any good ones?

Have you heard anything about the New Tucson Temple - where it will be and when will it be started?
We have heard very little, except that is will be bigger than the Gila Valley Temple.  I'm very excited.  People say the missionary work really blooms while temples are being built in the area!

A couple of Keaton's questions:
What was the first food you haven't liked?
Lobster - Oh my gosh.  I ate it, but I was dying!

What is your new favorite food?
Butterfinger Pie!  I'm obsessed!
(This is really weird...She hates desserts, doesn't like sweet things, and never eats candy bars, and hates PIE!  What's up with this ?!)

Have you started the new Socail Media/I pad thing?
Yes, they sure have.  We're expecting Ipads and Iphones around January time.  Crazy!. We are going to have EVERYTHING on them.  Including our scriptures, Mormon.org, lds.org, access to a ward list and map, our planners and facebook.   I will be setting up my current Facebook account to use here in my mission! They are wanting us to get to know our investigators better along with leaving inspirational things on it.
(Well, I guess it's a good thing I finally gave in during her High School years and let her set up her facebook account.  Joe and I were against it for a long time.  Wow, now it would have probably been NOT a good thing if she didn't know how to use it!  She will be fine, She's a PRO at Facebook!!!! She said there will be limitations on what they will be able to use on it thought.)


Sister Walker had a Dr's visit this last week.  Yes, She is feeling much better and feels stronger!  Thanks for everyone's Prayers, and did I say Prayers for her and our family.  It has been VERY stressful for us, not to be with her.  Thanks for all the kindness shown by everyone and voicing your support and comfort to us! Thanks for all the letters that were written with encouragement for her.  And, THANKS to everyone for remembering her in your PRAYERS, (oh, I think I said Prayers already!)
Kellee was soooo happy when she went into the room at the Dr's office, and found herself to be surrounded by AIRPLANES, AIRPLANES and AIRPLANES!!  It's like Joe was there to surround her in his Love.  Joe even has posters like these from the Reno Air Races, that he attends each year!  It's amazing how the Lord can comfort everyone with just an AIRPLANE!!!  



August 12, 2013, MY TWO MONTH MARK!! HOLA!! from Sister Kellee Jo Walker


"Welcome to the Campbell ward where they are nearly dead, or newly wed. HAHAHA That's what Bishop told us yesterday and I was dying of laughter. We have a LOT of oldies and new students who are just married or starting families going to the UofA. Not a lot of large families like we have back at home. This week has been a rough one, i'm not going to lie. We didn't teach nearly as many lessons as we've been teaching in the past, but we are truly trying. And I think that is all that matters. :) So guess what? President gave Sister Dredge and I bikes......! We are now a part biking mission! We didn't have to pay for them, since they were Sister Killpacks old bikes. They are beach cruisers! And let me tell ya, riding a bike in a skirt is crazy hard work. Just try it and tell me how it goes. hahaha"
"You'll never guess what I've been eating. They are called Sanorin Hotdogs, A BILLION TIMES BETTER THAN JDAWGS. I know that's surprising  but truly, they are fantastic. They are stuffed with beans, peppers, salsa, mayo, and green mushy stuff. (Could that be guacamole  that she would NEVER dream of eating here at home!)   I eat 3 a day. hahaha good thing they are only  $1.50. HUZZAH Guys!"
" Please look up the talk called, "We Are Doing A Great Work And Cannot Come Down." By Pres. Uchtdorf. I am absolutly obsessed with Nehamiah in the Bible. LOOK IT UP FOR FHE"

Kellee has not been feeling well, and she had to send her Mom (me), some comforting words.  I love that she can comfort me, when she knows I'm stressing because I can't be there to take care of her-
"I know you worry about me a lot, but I am in good hands Mama. The Lord is watching over me and is with me always. That's a special blessing us missionaries get, to have Jesus with us always. I am very thankful for all you've taught me! There are certain instances where we are stuck in a situation and I think, "What would my Mom do?" And then we figure things out because of your example to me. So thank you for all you do for me Mommy :) I love love love you."

Now a note to her Dad-
"There are so many noisy airplanes here. I can just imagine you running around like a leaping gazzell looking for the planes. HAHA. 
(Big Joke with our family, and anyone that knows Joe, knows that any aircraft is a cool aircraft, even more so, when they are old, were used in any kind of history, can't fly anymore, or have been restored.  This LOVE for aircraft and History, has been passed onto my kids.  Just ask them and they can tell you what any aircraft is and what it's purpose is or was clear back to the Wright Bros.! Many of our family vacations have been spent seeking out old plane graveyards.  The minute we read Kellee's call to Tucson, Joe knew there was an Airbase there and the Biggest Aircraft Graveyard There!!  Yes, we will all be visiting it after the Mission!)
"They're always flying in some kind of formation. We aren't allowed to go to the actual aircraft graveyard since its out of our area, but we are going there together when I get home! Deal?" 
"The weather here is hot. Much too hot. Some days are perfect, but most days I melt. There are no shirts light enough to keep you cool. Man, I don't know who in their right mind would want to settle here before they had AC. The rain has stopped, so it's getting back to 115 degree weather. I'm excited for the winter? Who knew you'd hear me say that!!"
"That's crazy about your work!! Are you going to loose your job? I've been praying for you and your coworkers as well. And your crazy coworker who killed his wife? WHAT THE HECK? You were working with a criminal..... man oh man. We are actually teaching a guy who just got out a jail for a criminal act, so we have to be very careful. But you know he has good intentions if he is trying to come back to Christ."
(Yes, Joe's job has been a little stressful lately!  If you want a good laugh, just ask him about it!)
"HIIIIIIIIIIIII DADDY! 
Things here are craaaazy still. Lots of mean people, lots of nice people.
Lots of food and lots of falling asleep during my nightly prayers. 
This work is tiring, but extremely worth it.
The happiness it brings to peoples lives is incredible. 
There is no way this gospel isn't true. 
My testimony is growing stronger everyday, and I can't wait to share it more. 
I love you dad, with all that I am. and I hope all is well back at home. 
Give Teeko a hug for me and maybe a kiss or two. " 
"Thank you thank you for telling me about the missionary moment you did during sacrament meeting. I was actually wondering about that.  I am very glad you were able to do that!! Being a missionary is tiring work, but it is sooooooo rewarding!"
(I am VERY Proud of my Husband for doing the Missionary Moment is Sacrament meeting.  I guess everyone may have wondered why Joe did it and not me, her Mom.  Well, Kellee had always challenged Joe to do this for her before she left.  I think Joe is pretty willing to try new things, but standing up in church and talking on any subject is NOT one of them!  It very much pushed him to his limit when he got the calling of Ward Clerk and found out that Dear Bishop Veenker wanted him to sit at the desk on the stage, take roll, and then go walk through through everyone and count, That was just asking TOO much!!  He has survived well, though, and made Kellee very proud by being willing to do this for her!  Only his 'Sweet Pumkin Girl', could get him to do it!!  And I don't think we will see it again soon!!!!  Gotta Love ya Joe!!!)


Brotha: 
"Hey dude. I am so jealous you got to take your friends to the cabin! That sounded like SOOO much fun. And you're doing Lacrosse  Man, how did Levi convince you to do that? That is way cool. Jason our Cous used to do Lacrosse  call him up and he can teach you how to be a PRO. And guess what? We saw a giant EAGLE (I hated to inform her that this is NOT an Eagle, but it is pretty big and cool, and it was close!)  just chillin in an apartment balcony. It was huge. I was afraid it was going to attack me!! Are you excited for school? I wouldn't be. hahaha but you always like school so i'm sure you're excited. What classes are you takin? I love you Keaton, and I talk about you all the time to pretty much everyone! I miss you lots and lots. Can't wait for that hug (: "

 I Love you all very much and I am so thankful for all you guys do for me. Keep doing the things God would have you do to return and live with him again as an eternal family. (: You guys are my everything. 

Love always, Sister Kellee Jo Walker
 

 

No Transfer for Sister Kellee Walker Today! August 6, 2013 - Staying in the Campbell Ward in the Heart of Tucson!



No Transfer Today!  Her she is with her New District.  Her Tri-panionship changed, and now it is Sis Walker and Sis Dredge are in a Companionship.


This is all the Elders and Sisters, President and Sister Killpack, and two sets of Senior Missionaries.
Looks like to me that there are many good people to be watching over my Kellee for me!  (Oh, there's her Heavenly Father in the middle of them all tooo!  Most important influence!)


It's been an interesting 2 weeks of Mail problems:(.  If any of your letters have been returned, it's because of one of the Post Offices in Tucson has been closed down.  The Mail now has to take an extra stop in Phoenix, then sent on to Tucson.  So Sister Walker went 2 weeks without anything from us.  
This really has made me appreciate how fast she can really get her mail.  It takes 15 days to get a letter to Austin in Jamaica  and the Mission President in the very bottom of Argentina, (Dr. Mark Rogers, who I worked with at the hospital), can't have anything sent to them.  (The country is not allowing any mail from the US into Argentina right now.)  So, I need to count my Blessings that usually she can get our stuff in 4 days!

"Holy cow guys!! I'm so sorry you've had to deal with mail problems!! Good grief. I thought you guys were just busy, which is understandable but i'm glad to hear that you've been thinking of me!! I did get a letter from Kylee!! (: Transfers were this morning and looks like I'm staying here with the beautiful Sister Dredge!! Same address for the next 6 weeks. Sister O'Donnell got transferred to the Binghampton ward which is the ward right after ours so luckily we still get to see each other. (We are in the same District) 
I have the CRAZIEST story to tell you guys. Mom and Dad will probably flip out but seriously, it was crazy weird. Okay, so the other day we were driving down one of the main roads on our way to an appointment but we had a few extra minutes, so as I was driving, Sister Dredge felt prompted to talk to this lady walking down a little back road so I turned the car around and parked it. We started walking towards her, trying to catch up with her and then BAM!!!!!! A Dr Pepper comes FLYING over this huge brick wall. Scared the poop right out of me.  
(She probably thought this was a gift from the Heavens, since her FAVORITE soda is D.P.!!!, and she hasn't had one for awhile!!!)  
We thought it was just a kid messing with us so we kept walking. Then all of the sudden all this produce comes hauling over the wall. Milk, Cereal, Ham, Cheese, Soda, Beer, all sort of groceries. Then people start flying over the wall and they're yelling, "HURRY UP! PUT IT ALL IN THE TRUCK! DRIVE DRIVE DRIVE!!!" They had conveniently parked their truck and thrown all their STOLEN items near the truck and drove off. I was in shock, literally. I couldn't believe what I had seen!! And I didn't understand why God had prompted us to talk to that lady, especially since we didn't get the chance too! It was way weird right? That was probably the craziest thing that's happened this week."  
(I think it is very interesting that it was Food that was being stolen, not electronics or a car or $.  Maybe she and I needed to be reminded that we are VERY blessed to have any type of food we want and whenever we want it.)
"Lessons here are starting to slow down a bit. We still teach over 30 lessons but a lot of our investigators tell us to stop coming over or that we aren't interested. It's hard when people reject the gospel because we as members KNOW what they are missing out on and it breaks my heart. They're time will come i suppose."

 
Sister Walker never forgets to send a Sunset.  They are the 'Most Beautiful Ever", she keeps saying!!
(Just like her!)

Sister Kellee Jo - July 29th still raining & super duper HOT!


I asked her if she wanted the Umbrella she sent home, "No!  We usually dance in the rain!  It's so hot that the rain feels great. No umbrella needed!"
(Although, I think she needs to take time to IRON her shirt- oh, funny me, she needed me to do that!)



I think she is trying to convince me that she is eating healthy?  Sorry Sister, but I don't think Cocoa Puffs and Oreo's are in a food group. I do need to give her credit for banana's, strawberries, yogurt and her Vit D WHOLE milk!  She's so skinny she needs all the calories she can get!!! 

She thinks she may be transferred after her first 6 weeks in Tucson, so I think she wanted to leave her mark.  I guess all the Missionaries that go through the apartments paint and repaint their names on these stools.  It's interesting to me that she has time to paint, but not time to IRON her skirt?!

"We taught another 30 lessons this week and President is SOOOO PROUD! He said that is extremely rare to be teaching that many lessons so consistently.  There are so many people who have been prepared to hear the Gospel and it's my privilege to be the one to teach them.  My confidence is growing more and more each day and I'm learning ways to open myself up to people. It's crazy to me how much love I have for these people here in Tucson. I hardly know them but my love for them is crazy."
    "There are A LOT of trials I have already been through and it's only been a month, but the things I am learning are incredible. My testimony has been strengthened, my relationship with God has increased and my love for my Savior continues to grow as I learn and rely on him."
"The Campbell Ward threw a Pioneer Day party so I got to celebrate Dad's birthday even though I wasn't home with you guys. They had so many different BROWNIES which I thought was really ironic :) we ate lots of food and mingled and listened to a band play music and then we had to leave before the movie. But it was still really fun!!  I've been assigned as the designated driver so i'm always driving the dang car. You think traffic at home is bad? Try the traffic here in the heart of Tucson. It's NUTS. And it wigs me out all the time that the green turn arrow doesn't come first!! It's completely backwards from home."  (Joe's birthday is on the 24th of July.  He thinks he always has to have a big party, because Everyone celebrates his Birthday!!  Kellee knows he LOVES any kind of Brownie.  Joe loved his B'day present from Kell, a RED Arizona Wildcat's Shirt!  Maybe she will start to like RED, Bishop V.,  Not BLUE :(   Oh, and Ryker,  She said HAPPY B"DAY TO YOU TOO!!)
" Hey it is sooo crazy HOT that the lizards carry sticks on their backs while they run  so they can stand on the stick when they STOP running!  (That's a joke an investigator told us! He He)"
This is my favorite part of her email this time,  "I'm VERY thankful for you guys.  I truly am.  I know I may not have shown it the best, but I hope you realize my love for you guys grows more and more each day."

"I hope all is well.  Love you more than all the Oreo's I eat!   And that's a lot!"
Kellee Jo

Sister Walker says, "Hola Familia!" July 22, 2013

 She knows that her MoM is worried about her drinking enough.  They freeze two of these jugs each every night, and that lasts them through the next day.  Isn't she sooo Cute!  Also, I think she is picking up some Spanish in her English speaking Mission!

 I think she is sending her family at home a Message!

First Baptism for her Tri-Companionship!

"Hola Familia!
Things here are crazy. You would not believe the work that is going on here. We taught yet again another 30 lessons. that's 120 lessons in a month!!!! Our companionship got recognized for the hard work we are doing and let me tell you, I LOVE IT. The people here have been prepared in some way or another to hear the gospel and it surprises me how much they already know, without actually realizing it. T. and A. got baptized on Friday (1st baptism and it's only week 4!!!) and it was incredible. The spirit was sooooo strong. T. has smoked since she was 14 years old and of course she had to give it up. We fasted together, prayed together and cried together through that experience. And guess what? She has completely stopped smoking!! I am so so so proud of her and how far she has come. She has that desire to sacrifice anything for the Lord and it shines through her. And cute little A. is 9.  T. has custody over most of her Grand-kids and A. is one of them. He came up to us one day while teaching T. and asked, "When can I be baptized?" We were overjoyed!! So we began teaching them together and it has been an incredible journey. The baptismal service was beautiful, I wish you could have been there to feel of that spirit. That moment T.  came up from the water was absolutely perfect in every way. I love this work so much."
"I find it difficult at times though. It's very hard being away from home and from friends. I feel very out of place at times. My heart aches for these people. They are missing out on so much happiness. The Lord provides for us all, if only they would give him the chance to. I was reading in 2 Nephi chapter 9 today during personal study and I came across the verses 23-25. It talks about those people who walk all over you and who talk badly about Christ and his children. I found amazing comfort in those verses. Please please please read your scriptures!! I have gained an incredible relationship with them and I can't believe I lived this long without them.
A lot of our investigators have dropped  us this week, and it has been incredibly heart wrenching. I don't understand how people can't see the light of Christ. If you get the chance, look up LIGHT OF CHRIST in the Bible Dictionary. It's really rather cool."
"This week has brought me a lot of tears. Happy ones along with many sad ones. We work too hard to be sad yet we are. This work is truly difficult and trying, but it is VERY worth it. It's worth the pain and the trials, the hurt and the loneliness. Especially when you find the one person who was willing to sacrifice all they have just to get to know Christ. My testimony has grown more than I can explain and my love for Jesus Christ has grown as well. I am so thankful to have had the experiences I've had to prepare myself for this mission. I know I am here for a reason, and I know this is what I am supposed to be doing. Continue to pray for me, continue to read and to attend church. I am so grateful for you, my family. I am grateful for your support and for your prayers. I feel them everyday and am so grateful that you pushed me to serve. This truly is such a blessing. "
"I love you to the moon and back!"
"Be safe and think of me often!!"
"Love always, Sister Walker!"

     I can sense sadness and joy through her letters.  Pray for her to be strong and to always listen to the Spirit to guide her through the challenges she faces.  I found a quote today that hopefully helps her,  by President Henry B. Eyring, "Whatever our age, capacity, church calling or location, we are as one called to the work to help Him in His harvest of souls until He comes again."  (April 2013)

Love, MoM:)
