Week 56 - Pictures!

Here come all the pictures!

Working in the Lord's Vineyard of the Lord's Vineyard! Grape Harvest! Jacob 5 to the max! (Because the California Fresno Mission is the Lord's Vineyard. [I know that Jacob 5 is olives, not vines, but it says vineyard.])

The computer we are using really uploads the photos quickly! convenient.

And from last week: we said good-bye to the Gunderson's and Elder Lillywhite. All of them are now at home. The time passes quickly!

Brother H. loves fly fishing! We used some of our time today to make a fly! Can you believe it takes an hour to make that sucker? (Well, at least for us since it was our very first attempt.)

A brief excerpt from another letter about how that happened:

This week we've been working with that less-active member, Brother H., he invited us in on Labor Day to spare us from the heat, then invited us to have a meal with him one day, proceeded to take us to dinner Friday, and we went over today in our preparation day time and learned how to tie flies for fly-fishing. He really doesn't affiliate himself with the church anymore, but based on his comments I know there's a hope for him, and that he is aware of God's hand in things. We just have to bypass his walls.
I believe we can make great things happen, and I am happy in my service. I think there will always be a challenge to conquer working both the office and Mountain View, but I always like a good challenge. Each one we conquer builds our wisdom.
