First Sunday in the Mission field

This last week-end Mom had many wonderful experiences. One in particular was her first Sunday in the mission field. She and her companion were handing out programs before sacrament meeting. A member approached her, read her name tag and asked if she knew an Elder Black that served in this area in the 60's. Mom asked if he was from Indiana and they responded, yes. Mom's response was yes, that's my husband. Needless to say, the person starting crying and it turns out Dad baptized her and four others over 40 years ago in the very same ward mom is now assigned to. They are planning on teaching the father of one of the member Dad baptized. This is just another witness to us that she is preaching the Lords's gospel and she is exaclty where Heavenly Father wants her!

This is GREAT! How exciting to hear that you met people who remembered and were taught by Jon. Wow. A truly inspired mission call, right down to the area. Love...Karen
