"your families are well...in me there is all power." (D & C 100:1)‏

On the evening of October 11, 1833, Joseph Smith, the prophet recorded a personal concern: “Very well in my mind. The Lord is with us, but have much anxiety about my family” (1:419). The next day Joseph and Sidney Rigdon together with Freeman Nickerson, a recent convert, arrived at the Nickerson home in Perrysburg, New York. It was on this day that the Prophet received the revelation recorded in section 100.

"Verily, thus saith the Lord unto you, my friends Sidney and Joseph, your families are well; they are in mine hands, and I will do with them as seemeth me good; for in me there is all power." (D & C 100:1) 

This verse has been a comfort to Mom and I from the time we decided to serve our mission. How blessed we are to have the blessings of time, health and resources to serve a mission. 

While many are praying for us here, we pray daily for those at home, including our great neighbors and business associates. 

Now for some pictures of the week:

Mom and I eating pizza at the brand new Luna Mar hotel.

Last Saturday, we had our monthly training meeting for the seminary and institute teachers. 
There are never any leftovers... 

Just outside the room where our training was taking place there was a wedding party coming down the hall.

This is our good District President Alfredo Camalizene.

This week on P-Day, the elders had a going away party for two (2) elders that start their return home tomorrow.

The two elders returning home are in the front.

On the left is Elder Bigelow from Phoenix and on the right is Elder Lake from Burley.

These women are collecting small clams to eat.

The missionaries were able to catch a ride in this very new chapa as we left the beach. 

Our apartment is directly behind these apartments.

The Van pulling away with 20 + riders!

Sure love you!
