IN THIS MISSION WE BAPTIZE
May was a record setting month in the Colorado Springs Mission. Our missionaries brought 87 of Heavenly Father's Children to the waters of baptism. Allowing them to enter the gate of the path that leads to eternal life.

THE NEW CROP

Every six weeks the "new crop" arrives. "Greenies"!This time we received 15 new missionaries. We also found a few interesting connections. One young Elder from Pason Utah played soccer with our daughter-in-law Kindra's brothers. A young Sister from New Jersey has close ties to our friends the Carpenters,back home. Finally, we were assigned to drive a young Elder to his assignment in Kansas. During the course of the conversation we found out that our son Jake served with his brother in Johannesburg South Africa-and they were very good friends. That is NOT all! We found out that our son-in-law Chad not only served in this young man's home town- but ate in his home and knew his other brother. We actually made calls from the cars to our children to confirm the possibilities. These kind of connections happen all the time. We truly are one big family!

MUSIC STIRS THE SOUL

The Fountain Zone missionaries put together a musical fireside. The music was wonderful and the spirit was sweet. The featured artist in the brown suit) is an investigator that agreed to perform with these young missionaries.
