Well....it seems that my mission is halfway through now. One year gone, and another full of adventure left. It's odd to know that I've cleared the hump.
We attended a Yankees game on Friday because the Mormon Tabernacle Choir was performing pregame. It was an awesome show, and the game was alright. We left just before 9, and I heard that the game lasted until around 1 a.m. with 12 innings due to a tie. The Yankees pulled through and eventually won, which was good for us New Yorkers!
For the most part, Elder Shepherd and I are getting along well. He didn't really enjoy his time with his last companion, who happens to still live here, so I have been a delight to him. I am responsible for continuing his training here in the field, which Elder Holloway started, which is a big task. I hope my accumulated missionary wisdom is enough.
With the recent passing of Elder Packer, President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, we were encouraged by our mission resident to re-read his last General Conference talk. The last paragraphs are all his powerful witness and testimony of the Atonement. It was his final mark on the Church and mankind in this life. I invite you all to read it and feel its power.
Until next time,
