This is where we live during our mission. Some might recognize it as the yard that houses our 5th wheel on our vacation property in Ferndale; more specifically Sandy Point Heights. Today it snowed (so I wouldn't miss Bonners Ferry winters I suspect) but it doesn't usually snow here. It does rain though, alot actually. It has rained most days we have been here with a sprinkle of sunshine just so we could remember what it looks like up in the sky. We are blessed to be able to serve out of our 5th wheel to cut some of the cost of going on a mission, but we also believe this is where the Lord wanted us to serve. We have met a lot of sweet sisters and brothers in the gospel. This morning we helped in primary (which was familar and friendly to Sister Curtis), so we got to meet the children of the sweet sisters and brothers in the Bellingham 1st Ward. It will be the ward we serve most of our mission in unless we activate all those that are not so active, and they give us a new assignment. That sounds pretty easy but it has some snags in the whole plan, people's agency. We have met just a couple of people that are not as excited about coming back to the fold as we had hoped. Not a problem, we are missionaries for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, going out to gather in the sheep to the fold. They know His voice, we just have to remind them of what it sounds like.
