Music on a mission

Being able to play the piano and lead music really helps a missionary.

Now that a musically talented sister missionary has been transferred out of our district, Sister Tenney has now assumed that responsibility to play hymns for our institute classes.  We are relearning the important lesson that being able to play the piano is a great asset for a missionary. Those of you planning missions please keep that in mind.

We are enjoying our summer in New York. The weather has really not been too bad. It's a bit humid but we're getting used to that. The weather changes very frequently here, and that is the surprising thing for us Arizona kids.

Our summer institute classes are going well. As you might expect, there is a lot of turnover in young adults during the summertime. Our big challenge is to try to keep up with them.

We know almost all of them by name now and we are friends. Is challenging for young adults to navigate around the big city of New York. It is very easy to get lost if you wish to do so. We're trying to identify and connect with as many as we can. This work of the Lord is challenging but enjoyable.
