Sunday January 18th we had dinner
at the Roderick's. This was our last dinner together prior to
transfers. One Elder went to Shelbyville and one was released and went
home.
Tuesday the 20th we went with the Elders and Sisters to the
temple prior to their departure on Wednesday.
Sunday, January 25th, was
dinner at our house with our two new Elders.
Monday, the 26th, we
had lunch at the office and celebrated Elder Rasmussen's 21st
birthday. President Brough joined us for lunch.
Thursday, January
29th, were district meetings near the office. The Sisters were
celebrating two birthdays.
Saturday, January 31st, Dillion and Brianna were
baptized at the Shawnee Branch.
The next picture is Amber, their friend
who introduced them to the gospel.

after the baptism.
We continue to keep busy. The mission has dropped from 250 young
missionaries to 226 and will drop further in March. We are busy closing
apartments. The President decides which ones to close. Elder
Moulton works on getting out of the leases. The Rodericks clean and bring
back the furniture. We are all working on what to do with the items
being returned to the mission. We are having a mild winter and are
seeing some bulbs already popping up through the leaves. We see
no promise of getting a new Senior couple when the Rodericks leave in March, so
we are getting a little nervous about that! We love you all.
