A holler from Nebraska - home of corn

Hi,

This is Kendall's mom. Sorry, I'm sure you would like to hear directly from Kendall. Maybe we can get him to write Bro. B so you can get his words directly!

He's doing great. He and his companion, Elder Divecha, from Sandy, Utah are working hard and trying their best to get their investigators over the hurdle of smoking so they can be baptized.

He is laboring in the field of Nebraska City, NE, right on the border of Iowa. He rides his orange bike up and down hills (who said the heartland was flatland??), been out to eat at members' homes lots, entertained the Primary children with games at a ward activity, and fed the cows. He's still true blue, despite living in Cornhusker country. He loves his mission and is learning lots about following the Spirit's direction and seeing little miracles everyday. He was among a group of 9 Elders & 3 sisters who all arrived in Omaha together. When he walked to the laundry area at the MTC, he paused by the statue of Samuel Smith. Do you think Samuel had that much laundry to do on his mission?

Update.

Very disapointing Sunday. One dude shows up for class. I was forced to shelve probably one of the best discourses ever on Samuel the Lamonite. My wife and I escourted Tom Barber to Brother Whipple's class where we enjoyed his dynamite lesson. NEW RULE. You either show up for class or you write on here every week. I think I am being more than tolerant.

YOU GET TO CHOOSE. But choose wisely.

Here are just a few fun pictures! This was my first time ever going to the sand dunes in Rexburg! I had so much fun. The sand was like water, it was that smooth and so you can imagine how hard it was to play football and climb up this hill. We would fall everytime we took a step forward so it was a great workout too! Oh how I love Rexburg! I'm into the semester about a week now and my classes aren't too difficult as long as I manage my time! I was called just recently to be the second counselor in Relief Society A and I feel so blessed to be able to work with the women of the church. I sure hope all is well in Centerville and we'll talk to you soon! Have a "Fran"-tastic day!!

Roll Call

First of all, I refuse to let this blog die. Second of all, I think everyone here wants to know what was missed last Sunday in class.

The lesson was probably one of the top 10 lessons ever taught in the history of the new building. Also it is worth noting that Derek Hunter came on his last week on civility. Also Chad Westover and Uncle Tom Barber made an apperance. I know. What was the occasion you ask? Only the one of the top 10 lessons ever taught in the history of the new building.

You guys better start posting stuff on here or the annual FORD UP A DEUEL CREEK CHRISTMAS EXTRAVAGANZA CRAZINESS PARTY is in serious jeopardy. Don't make me say this again. That is all for now. Have a good week.

First timer

I will be honest. Although you all think I am master of everything, I must confess, I am a mere beginner at blogging. Until I perfect the blogging art, please bear with.

Now the pic you see is simply my most valued possesion. It is by this means, I am able to access the local high school's stomps. I really wanted just to show you all that at one time I was really cool so maybe now you could think of me as still sort of cool? Yes? No?

Outstanding. Simply Outstanding. Handsome. Simply Handsome. Nice work on the farewell. You knocked it out. Key: Plenty of jokes. Room for Improvement: Mention and thank Bro Ford for everything I did. Otherwise, Perfect delivery.
