Update on ELDER TYSON ANDERSEN!


July 30, 2009
Elder Tyson Anderson is having a great time as a missionary in the Toronto East Mission. The mission president's 23-year-old son has joined Tyson and his companion for the summer to make a three-some companionship. Tyson loves being a missionary, and he loves the area he's working in. Tyson and his companions had their first baptism last week: a 24-year-old young man named Elson whom they have been meeting with regularly since July 2nd. Elson has been in Canada only 8 months and had been taught the first discussion a couple of times prior, but this time he was ready. They are also teaching several other investigators.

Tyson and his companions only teach Mandarin, so he's having many new and fun experiences with the Asians. And Tyson absolutely LOVES Asian food. (That's good, because 3 of the elders in his apartment are Cantonese and do a lot of the cooking.) The mission president has asked the missionaries to work on a Christ-like attribute each month so that they can be better instruments in the Lord's hands (from Preach My Gospel, ch. 6). Tyson is excited to have goals to work on.

UPDATE ON ELDER GREG MALONE:


Things are going super well here in meadowbrook. I really lvoe it here. lots of people to teach which i will talk about all of them in just a minute.
transfers!..nothing! except that my son Elder Holley is going to be my new Zone Leader. talk about awesome. im really glad I got to see him before i die...as a missionary. not in real life.
Ok here are the main peoples:
-Kassi...she is a part member. She is really awesome. 16, she is going with the stake up to the Palmyra pageant this weekend so it will be a super big spiritual moment for her. im really excited. she keeps all of her commitments and loves meeting with us. just waiting for her glasses from NC so she can read.
-Sylvia...we are going to do service for her. When we taught her about the BOM, the spirit was really strong and she said she didnt need to pray about it to know that it was a true book. we had a hard time getting a hold of her which is nice because it taught me about dilligence and now we are cutting her grass which will soften her heart and almost gaurentee a church attendance or two. :)
-Hamza...a Muslim guy. he came to church and a baptism and said he will never go to another Christian church again unless its a Mormon church! he loved it. we are teaching about the Atonement today so it will be powerful and he will be baptized soon. he is soo close to a belief in Christ. he use to be an athiest. now he believes in God!
there is more but not enough time. Things are well. im happy and myself which is nice. Elder Burningham and I get along really well. The ward trusts us pretty good and the biking is getting easier. Thanks for all the packages and cards and letters and all the support too. its really awesome!
we should have a baptism by the end of this transfer, which just started, but we are praying for it, so it will happen.

hope all is well in AZ>
love
Elder Malone

ELDER GARRETT GREEN:
From Dan: "Well, Garrett comes home on August 13th… yes, that is only 9 days away. He will be speaking in the Glenview Ward on August 23rd. He will start ASU on the 24th so will be living with is Grandparents who live on Florian Circle just off 24th Street and North of Southern." (Editor's Note to ward: maybe we can talk him into coming to our ward instead!)



UPDATE on ELDER KEVIN LUSSIER:


Elder Kevin Lussier is enjoying the work in Orlando, despite the heat and humidity and powerful lightning storms. He recently had a baptism and is teaching a few others. Finding people is challenging. I thought you may enjoy some of his tracting experiences.
Tracting Stories: We tracted for 10 hours on Saturday (I probably lost 5 pounds of sweat that day) and we had some crazy people. One guy told us to go away, and as we were walking away, he turned on his sprinklers. Really?! And then at the same time, a guy drove buy, honked, and flipped us off. The sprinklers shut off right when we left his property. What a weirdo. I enjoyed it though, because it was so hot. Another woman barely opened the door, stuck her MASSIVE dog out barking at us, pulled it back in and then slammed the door. Weird.

We tracted into a kicking party. No one really wanted to meet with us, but then this girl walked out with a beer in her hand. She ended up being very interested in the message. All of her friends were taunting her from inside and she shut the front door and kept talking to us. It was like a real life verison of the "Tree of Life" vision. She's awesome, but the zone leaders are going to teach her because they work for the single's ward.

June 11th was an interesting day. That was the day that I would've been home from Brazil. I kept myself motivated and got the work done.

I randomly picked up the October 2006 Ensign and read it the other day. We have tons of old Ensigns in our apartment. The magazine had Mitch Johnson's SLC Temple painting in it. That painting is now on the wall next to my desk. Tell Mitch about that will you?

Caty Stroud received her mission call to the Utah Salt Lake Mission. She leaves on July 8th for the MTC. Congrats Caty, you will be AWESOME!!

Nathan Carroll is reporting July 22 to the MTC to serve his mission in the Dominican Republic.

Both Caty and Nathan will be speaking in church on Sun. June 28. All these missionaries leaving! We're so excited for you all! But we do have Elder Garrett Green coming home in Aug. and Elder Greg Malone in Oct., but we are still on the plus side for missionaries out!

Ward Temple Night is Thurs. June 18 at 6pm. Social afterwards at the Bishops house. Even if you go to an earlier session or didn't make it at all, come socialize!

Glenview Ward and Southern Estates are having a 2 ward Pool Party Fri. June 19 from 5-9pm at Brimhall Jr. High Aquatic Center. Come swim, eat, visit and meet our churchmates in our building! Prepare for water contests, games and food! Bring your own chairs.

Primary Quarterly Activity - On July 18, 2009 we will be having a Bike Parade. So get yours all decorated up!

Remember our ward Mission letters we all received? How is your goal coming? Let's give our non-member brothers and sisters the opportunity to enjoy what we have and know!

Primary News!

We have some exciting news from our CTR 8 class. Macy Hill was baptized on May 30th. It was very special for all involved. Cody Taylor and Cassidy Lebaron are planning to be baptized near the end of July. We are so excited for them and their decision to enter the waters of baptism.

We are gearing up for our summer quarterly activity. Get set for a bike parade in our church parking lot. Mark your calendars for July 18th from 10:00 to 11:30am. Attention Primary teachers: our Teacher In-service Meeting will be held just preceding the quarterly activity at 9am.

We have made some great progress in memorizing the Articles of Faith. Our sticker chart is looking really nice and filling up fast. Remember to pass off any articles to your teacher or a member of the Primary Presidency. Singing it counts!!! We have until September 12th to meet our goal (memorize all 13) and enjoy our Articles of Faith ice-cream party. That’s 13 weeks away! Using the CD (the one we passed out at Christmas) and singing along can make it fun and easy. It’s a great F.H.E. activity too.

We love our Primary children and teachers. Thank you for bringing the spirit into the room with you on Sunday and helping our Primary to be reverent. 

Young Women!

We will greatly miss Rochele Bigler who recently moved out of the ward. Her family bought a home in Lyn Rae Ward, so they are still close by and enjoying their new home VERY much!
